3.1.1 File | Load. . .
A saved data file can be loaded into the frame buffer for display and results processing. Four types of
data file formats are supported and are delineated by their file extension labels. The results obtained
from these file types are not all of equal merit, however. The origin and meaning of these file types
are as follows:
.lb3/4/5/7 Files
Is the native file extension denoting a data file created by the LBA-PC. The number indicates
that the data was created by either the LBA-300 (8-bit frame grabber), -400 (10 bit frame
grabber), –500 (12 bit frame grabber), or with a new –7XX (multi-format frame grabber). If the
saved file was generated using Ultracal processing then the results obtained when loading and
viewing this file type are of high quality.
.lba Files
Is the native file extension denoting a data file created by the LBA-100A. If the saved file was
generated using Autocal processing then the results obtained when loading and viewing this file
type are of high quality. All of these files produce images that are 120 x 120 pixels.
.lbb Files
Is the native file extension denoting a data file created by the LBA-100A. All file types of this
designation are created without the benefit of any calibration, and thus can not be relied upon
for accurate results. All of these files produce images that are 256 x 240 pixels.
.lbc Files
Is the native file extension denoting a data file created by the LBA-100A. All file types of this
designation are created without the benefit of any calibration, and thus can not be relied upon
for accurate results. All of these files produce images that are 512 x 480 pixels.
NOTICE:
File Compatibility with New versions of LBA-PC Software.
We will try very hard to make all future releases of the LBA-PC
application backwards compatible with all prior .lb3/4/5 file
formats. However, we cannot guarantee that new versions will
produce .lb3/4/5 files that will be backward compatible with older
versions.
