Binning and Skipping
Introduction
Selecting Binning on the Process menu opens the Binning and Skipping window, which
allows binning to be accomplished in software after the data has been collected. The
Parameters tab page allows the bin size to be set independently in the X and Y
directions. The Skipping parameter allows you to define the interval between binned
regions. The Skipping parameter size can be independently set for X and Y. There is also
provision for either averaging or summing the binned data points. If Average is selected,
each output data value will be the average of the binned data values in each region. If
Average is unselected, each output data value will be the sum of the binned data values.
The procedure follows.
Procedure
Select
Binning and Skipping
from the Process menu.
On the
Input
tab page, if the correct input image does not appear in the Input Image
box, enter the complete file name or search for a file using the browser, accessed by
the button to the right of the text box.
On the
Input
tab page, select the data frame containing the data on which the
operation is to be performed.
If you wish to process only part of the Input Image, enter the appropriate X-Y range
values. Alternatively specify a data region in the active window using the mouse and
click the
Mouse
button at the bottom of the window to enter those values.
On the
Parameters
tab page, set the X and Y bin size.
On the Parameters tab page, select
Average
if the binned data values are to be
averaged. If the Average box is left unchecked, the binned values will be summed.
On the Parameters tab page, set the Skip X and Y values. Data points that fall in the
skip zones do not contribute to the output. Skip values of zero are allowable, that is,
