How
to
work
with
program
Run_photo_USB:
Use
File
‐
Open
(or
use
F3
)
to
read
in
an
input
file,
either
FPF
or
BMP
.
If
you
select
FPF
bitmap,
image
will
be
previewed
as
you
browse
across
a
list
of
FPF
file
in
given
directory.
Also
information
on
its
resolution
is
displayed,
as
well
as
overall
image
size
(+10mm
on
each
side)
and
user
notes
attached
to
that
image.
Information
on
FPF
file
resolution,
image
size
and
user
notes
is
incorporated
into
FPF
file
automatically
in
Gerb2bitmap
program.
The
input
resolution
value
of
selected
FPF
image
will
be
automatically
entered
into
this
program,
so
there
is
no
need
to
do
that
manually
(see
further).
If
you
load
BMP
file,
image
itself
as
well
as
information
is
not
displayed.
It
is
necessary
to
enter
BMP
image
resolution
in
field
Input
resolution
.
After
you
select
file
for
plotting,
click
OK
.
The
file
is
displayed
as
it
will
be
plotted
on
film.
Because
bitmap
files
can
be
quite
a
large
files,
it
takes
some
time
to
read
them
in
to
be
displayed
–
be
patient.
If
the
input
file
is
bigger
than
approximately
14
MB,
file
is
not
displayed
to
save
time
needed
for
display.
Click
on
Run
photoplotter
button
to
get
a
new
dialog
window
where
you
set
output
resolution
(
Output
Resolution
).
Check
Negative
to
plot
reverse
(negative)
image
and
/or
Mirror
to
plot
mirrored
image.
You
can
change
intensity
of
laser
light
(
Light
)
if
needed,
otherwise
this
value
is
pre
‐
set
in
dialog
window
under
Light
command.
Time
needed
for
given
file
and
set
resolution
is
also
indicated
(
Plotting
time
).
Note,
that
for
the
higher
resolution
the
longer
time
is
needed.
Click
on
Plot
button
to
start
photo
‐
plotting.
It
takes
a
while
for
plotter
drum
to
reach
needed
speed
to
rotate
before
it
starts
to
plot.
The
remaining
plotting
time
is
indicated
in
top
left
corner
of
the
dialog
window.
Program
ViewMate
This
program
can
be
used
to
view
Gerber
files
before
plotting
them.
If
Gerber
file
is
in
extended
format
(RS
‐
274X),
it
can
be
loaded
directly
by
command
FILE
‐
IMPORT
‐
GERBER.
If
Gerber
file
is
in
standard
format
(RS
‐
274D),
then
associated
aperture
file
must
be
converted
into
Lavenir‘s
format
first.
Aperture
file
conversion
is
made
in
the
following
way:
Use
command
FILE
‐
IMPORT
‐
APERTURES
to
select
given
aperture
file.
To
check
that
ViewMate
will
automatically
recognize
format
of
this
aperture
file,
use
button
GUESS
TYPE
in
the
dialog
window
–
a
name
of
the
PCB
layout
system
where
aperture
file
was
generated
will
appear.
Click
on
OPEN
to
read
in
that
aperture
file.
Command
FILE
‐
EXPORT
‐
APERTURES
saves
read
aperture
file
under
the
same
(or
different)
name
with
Lavenir‘s
extension
(
.env
).
This
new,
converted
aperture
file
can
also
be
used
in
program
Gerber2bmp
(
File
‐
Import
apertures
)
–
load
it
after
associated
Gerber
file
is
loaded
into
Gerb2bmp.
After
converting
aperture
file
Gerber
file
can
be
loaded
to
be
displayed
for
checking
purposes.
