Thumbnail Images
You can configure the control software to generate thumbnail images in *.jpg file format. Thumbnail images
are generated for each cycle and base.
The control software collects images from 9 sections of a tile. The 9 images are combined into 1 thumbnail
image and can be used to troubleshoot a run. Thumbnail images are not suitable for image analysis, but can
be used for troubleshooting.
