Input Parameters
Name:
The file for which the statistics are to be calculated appears in the Input text box.
If there is an active data file, its name will be automatically selected. If not, you
can use the browser accessed by clicking the button at the end of the text box to
conveniently specify the name and location of the file. This information is
indicated below the Input text box.
Frame:
The two Frame text boxes allow the frame range to be specified. If the data set
contains one frame, the indicated range will be 1 to 1. If the data set contains
multiple frames, the default is to select all frames. For example, if there were 10
frames, the frame range would be 1 to 10 and statistics would be reported for all.
Either value can be changed. For example, if you only wanted statistics for
frames three through seven, it would only be necessary to change the Frame
range values to 3 and 7 respectively.
X Range and Y Range:
The statistics can be computed for the full data set (default)
or for a specified subset. For the latter, you can enter the range values directly or
define an ROI by using the mouse. The data set must be displayed and a region
defined by dragging the mouse to specify the desired ROI. See discussion of
Mouse parameter below. Clicking on the button labeled
Mouse
will cause the X
and Y range values for the ROI to be entered in the X Range and Y Range text
boxes.
Datatype:
The datatype of the file is reported and cannot be changed.
Mouse:
Clicking on this button causes the mouse-defined ROI values to be entered in
the X and Y range text boxes. It is first necessary that the file be displayed and
that the ROI be defined. To define an ROI with the mouse:
➧ Position the mouse cursor at one corner of the region to be defined.
➧ Press the left mouse button and, while it is held down, drag the mouse to the
diagonally opposite corner of the region being defined.
➧ Release the mouse button.
