5.4.4

Naming files and directories in a PC

When creating directories in a PC there is no restriction on naming the directories.
The camera can also read all directories on the root level independently of chosen
directory name. It is possible to rename image names created in the camera to any
DOS approved name, i.e. the camera can read image files independently of cho-
sen image names. However, the camera can only access files with the extension
*.IMG or *.BMP. If the extension for a file is renamed in a PC the camera ignores
the file. On the other hand, if a non-ThermaCAM™ File Format file has the *.IMG
extension, the camera will display the critical info Bad file format when recalling
the file.

Open...

This function is used to open or recall previously saved images from the disk. The
function brings up a control box at the bottom of the screen, showing the name of
the image being displayed and the directory in which the image file is stored. To
select another image to be displayed, use the joystick up and down to change the
selected image from the directory.
