Left Tool Area and Hardware Control Tools
The file format can be selected from the File Format drop
down menu (Fig. 248). The scroll bar can be used to have
access to all listed file formats.
In the Dimension selection field you can define how the
image series is saved. For each dimension you can define
by ticking the respective Separate Files checkbox to save
this dimension in separate files. The file names of the single
files will have extensions of a letter indicating the
dimension (t for time series, z for Z-Stack, p for position
etc.) preceding a number that indicates the frame number
of the series. If none is checked, the whole image series
will be saved in one file. If the Sub-directory checkbox is
ticked in addition, all separate images of the specified
dimension will be saved in a newly created sub-directory
having the same name as the file. This option is not
available for the Carl Zeiss Image (CZI) file format. If the
Separate Files checkbox is not ticked, ticking the respective
Sub-directory checkbox is of no consequence.
