The output file selection allows the operatory to select a directory and
file name to store all of the scan parameter results. To select an output
directory click on the Output… button and this will bring up a windows
file selection GUI. Use the GUI to select an output directory and then
type in the desired file name.
The file name specified in the output selection field is actually just a base
file name, the beginning of a file name. SCAN’R will take this file name
and append a time tag to it to for the actual file name. In effect, the base
file name provides a convenient mechanism that the operator can use to
track sequences of files that are created each time SCAN’R activates.
The file naming convention is <base file name>_DyyyymmddThhmnss,
where: yyyy=year, mm=month, dd=day,
hh=hour, mn=minute, ss=second.
The archive directory selection allows the operator to select an optional
archive directory. This is a directory that will be used to store all of the
good snapshots after they have been processed. Again this directory is
optional. If an archive directory is chosen, then all of the good file will
be written to the archive directory and all of the bad files will be deleted.
This in effect will weed out all of the bad files. If no archive directory is
chosen, then all snapshot files will be deleted. This in effect will remove
all snapshot files from the disk and only retain the scan parameters.
To select an archive directory, click on the Arch… button to bring up a
directory browsing window. Browse through the window to select the
desired directory and then click on the OK button.
To deselect an archive directory, click on the Arch… button to bring up a
directory browsing window and then click on the Cancel button.
