FLIM Data Acquisition
Figure 136: Defining FLIM image names
The naming structure is comprised of the following:
• Whenever a series of FLIM measurements is started, SymPhoTime generates a folder
that houses all FLIM measurement files of this series. The folder name is comprised of
the following:
"BaseName"_"Run"
• Base Name (BaseName) : The base folder and base file name used in SymPhoTime
can be specified here. If the user does not enter a name,
BaseName
will be
automatically used.
• Run : This is a suffix that is added to the folder and file names transferred in
SymPhoTime. In SymPhoTime, no two folders may have the same name. Therefore,
the number given in the
Run suffix is automatically increased by one whenever a
measurement series is started. The ' Run ' suffix can be changed by the user.
The file name uses the same BaseName and Run components as the folder. Additionally,
LAS AF will automatically add one more suffix to the file name that indicates which image it
is in the series. The file name will be created like this:
"BaseName"_"Run"_"Image number"
• The Image number suffix cannot be changed by the user.
The names used in LAS AF for the intensity images correspond to the folder names used in
SymPhoTime. This makes it easier to allocate the data in LAS AF to that in SymPhoTime.
Do not use the same name
Do not enter the same BaseName_Run name twice. This will create an
error message.
