The menu item "File" contains the sub-menu items:


Please click in the image on that measuring function

you want to learn more about.



Load image


This command loads files (=images) into the METRIC measurement window.

All standard file formats can be opened, e.g. bmp, tif, jpg, etc.


This command can also be found in the toolbar.


Note: During the  program is running the last working directory used is set as

the default. This applies to all commands, which read from or write to the hard

disk, with the exception of program settings, which are all found in the working

directory.


Save image


This command allows you to save the image shown in the working area. The

images can be saved as desired in either of the formats

(bmp, wmf, tif, pcx, jpg, png or gif) in the selected directory on the hard disk.

The preferred image format, which can be set using the program options,

is prompted when saving, but the selection can be altered in the common

dialogue box.

The image is always saved together with all drawn graphic elements. If the image

is to be saved to the hard disk without these elements then they must first all be

deactivated - this includes the hair cross and the scale

(from the "Reference object" menu). Also the table must be deleted.


This command can also be found in the toolbar.

TWAIN

This command allows you to read in image files from TWAIN sources. Every

Windows supported TWAIN source can be used as a source of images for

the measurement program. For example a PCMCIA grabber can be set up on

laptops in order to work almost "live" or the FG 33 used to measure within

the live image.The selection screen for the TWAIN source administration is opened.



TWAIN Acquire

If there is no need to select and set the parameters for the source then this

menu item can be used to call up the source interface directly.


Print image

This command allows you to print the image displayed in the working area

without any text or other information on diameters and was specially designed

for printing to video printers. The printout can also be made on any standard

Windows printer.

This command can also be accessed from the toolbar.

Note: for technical reasons the image areas shown on the monitor and on the

printout may be different. If the size of the METRIC window is so small that the

whole of the image is not shown then the printer will still print out the whole image.

This means that it may happen that a hair cross, which on the screen appears in

centre of the image detail may appear on the printout above the centre of the image.


Print report

This option not only prints out the image but also the available measurement data as

text; it is intended for printing out on normal paper.
