9.6.1 Phantom File Naming Convention Examples

Create a Directory to Hold Individual Images Extracted from the Original Cine

If the file name pattern is C:\NewDir\Img+5.tif

Upon execution of this routine, this simple file name entry will create a new directory on your C:\

drive named "NewDir" to hold the individual .tif images that will be extracted from the original cine

file. You may change the name "NewDir" to any name you like.

NOTE

Multiple cine file may be selected.

The Img+5.tif portion of the naming structure will instruct the Phantom software to save the files

in the order, they were taken adding a number starting at 1. "Img" in the name is the root

designator for the images. You may change "Img" to Pic for picture, Frm for frame or any other

characters that fit your needs. The "+5" instructs the application to append 5 character places to

each image.

Upon completion of this routine, you will find a directory on your C:\ drive named "NewDir" and

the files in that directory will look as follows:

Img00001.tif

Img00002.tif

Img00003.tif

Automatically Name a New and Unique Directory, and Sequentially Number

Individual Image Files Stored Inside

A file name using this "+" method could use the "@" symbol to automatically name a new and

unique directory, and the "+" sign to sequentially number the individual image files that will be

stored inside.

Example: C:\Phantom\yourdirname@2\PIC+4.BMP

Result in: C:\Phantom\yourdirname01\PIC0001.BMP (Directory with the following image file

stored inside)

C:\Phantom\yourdirname01\PIC0000.BMP

C:\Phantom\yourdirname01\PIC0001.BMP

C:\Phantom\yourdirname01\PIC0002.BMP

In this example, the first file will be saved to drive "C" in the "Phantom" directory. The first

recording will create a folder in this Phantom directory named "yourdirname" (or whatever legal

name you choose before the "@" symbol), and the number "00" will be added. Individual single

image files with the filename plus an image number from 0000 to the final number in the

sequence plus the file extension (in this case BMP), will be stored in this sub directory. The next

trigger will start the process again, and the next save to drive C:\Phantom will create a sub

directory "yourdirname" and append the name with the number 01. Individual images will be

saved as described above.
