File Menu

Those thermal imager functions that can be used to load
IR images and photos, to make settings for contents and
format individual images and image sequences to be
saved are summarized in the "File" menu.

Directory Structure

Whenever it saves data to the SDHC card, the thermal
imager initially automatically creates sub-directories, the
names of which make sure that the required files can be
found quickly even in the event of large amounts of data.
Files are always saved to a sub-directory. The name of
the sub-directory is generated taking the current date as a
basis, for example on June 22, 2012 the first directory
would be created with the name 120622AA. The
maximum number of files that can be saved to a directory
is limited to 100 in order to avoid the tedious search
through long lists. Within one directory, the files are
numbered consecutively, but can always be allocated to
the respective directory on the basis of their basic name
(2 letters + month + day, e.g. AA0622xx). Once a sub-
directory is full (e.g. at file AA062299.is3), the next file will
be saved to the directory 070622AB with the file name
AB062200. Therefore, the filenames are numerated
consecutively starting with 00 and up to 99 and, as
opposed to the directory, are not equipped with any
identification of the year in their names. This way, if the
automatically generated directories and file names are
completely exhausted, a maximum number of 26 x 26 x
3-18
100 = 67,600 files will have been saved to 676
directories.
Please note that a new sub-directory is created after
every restart of the thermography system and subsequent
data storage, as well as for every series measurement,
regardless of the contents of directories already created
beforehand. If additional data (visible light image, audio,
screenshot) is saved as additional files, the number of
possible thermal image files in one directory is reduced
accordingly.

Load Submenu

The "Load" menu item can be used to load IR images and
photos already saved to the SDHC card and to display
these on the display and/or the viewfinder. The images to
be displayed can be selected using the submenu items
"Single file" or "Gallery".
If the "Single file" submenu item is selected, the sub-
directories and their contents contained on the SDHC
card are initially displayed as lists. To navigate between

directories and files, use
