SpectraPLOT Files

Files utilized by SpectraPLOT include (file extensions are shown in parentheses):

Workspace Files:

A SpectraPLOT workspace file contains parameters that allow users to save the state of SpectraPLOT application. SpectraPLOT workspace files have a ".svw" extension.

Note that the SpectraPLOT workspace file is different than a SPECT3D workspace file.

The project data are saved to the workspace file by selecting either the File | Save or File | Save As menu items. A previously-stored workspace file is opened by selecting File | Open.

The workspace file can also be used as an input argument when starting SpectraPLOT. Windows platforms can be configured to start a SpectraPLOT application when double-clicking on a file with a ".svw" extension.

Contents of the workspace file include parameters related to the plot windows and their contents. While not all aspects of a plot window edited by the user are saved, many parameters are saved so that the state of the application is to a large degree restored when starting up SpectraPLOT with a given workspace.

 

Exporting Images:

Images from any plot window can be save in any of the following formats: .bmp, .jpg, .png, .xbm, .xpm, .pbm, .pgm, .ppm.

To export an image, select the Files | Export Image menu item.

Images can also be exported by selecting the File | Export Image | Image menu item.

For Images in which multiple time gates are used, image files for all time gates can be generated by selecting the File | Export Image | All Gated Images menu item. (This menu item is available only when an Image plot window is set up to use multiple time gates.)

 

Exporting Data:

For Images in which multiple time gates are used, image data files for all time gates can be generated by selecting the File | Export Image | All Gated Data menu item. (This menu item is available only when an Image plot window is set up to use multiple time gates). A series of ascii data file will be generated. The file names are created from a string user provides in export dialog followed by three digits for gate index. Additional index file (<run_name>_index.dat) will be created to serve as a table of content. The header contains format ID's, total number of gates, gate type. For each gate, the gate index and time parameters are written. Also written is a full path to the corresponding data file.

Data files contain all image data. The header contains format ID, gate index, pixel numbers and data type ID. The data block contains x-y position for all the pixels and corresponding intensity value (as z-axis). There are three DataType ID's: 1 - for regular x-y grid in rectangular detectors; 2 - for circular detectors, x-y representation of regular r-theta grid; 3 - for radial detector, in this case the number of pixels in theta direction is always 1, and only radii are written for position (2-column table). Other data type ID's are reserved for future use.
