Note: This page is not yet complete
This page is a reference to the INI files used to store settings in Imatest. It is of particular interest to users of the Functional Interface, IT/EXE, and IT/DLL, all of which operate under the control of INI files that may need to be edited. The contents of INI files are of less importance to Imatest Master users because they are set by dialog boxes so users never have to view or edit the actual ini file contents.

Imatest.ini
Imatest.ini is the primary Imatest ini file. It can be saved as a named file (for future reference or for use by IT/DLL, etc) by clicking Settings, Save settings… from the Imatest main window.
Sections that affect many modules
[api] is normally set in Imatest Master by clicking Settings, IT options from the Imatest main window to open the IT options window. Note that API is the former name of Imatest IT.
| [api] Affects Imatest IT/EXE and IT/DLL. These settings are described in http://www.imatest.com/docs/it_dll_instructions/#ini. | |||
| Parameter | Typical values (default if in [brackets]) |
Description | Notes |
| nomsg | 0 or 1 | Select 1 to suppress all warning messages | |
| savedel | 0 or 1 | Select 1 to always close figures after saving them. | Somewhat misnamed |
| sfrrefine | 0 or 1 | Select 1 for automatic region refine for SFR module. | |
| disable_figs | 0 or 1 | Select 1 to disable all figures. | |
| passFail | full path name to file that contains Pass/Fail criteria | The contents of this file (in ini format) is described in http://www.imatest.com/docs/it-passfail/. | |
| [rdraw] Affects all Imatest modules including IT/EXE and IT/DLL when raw files from manufacturer’s development systems are read in. Settings are described in . Settings are based on the file extension. Since settings for up to 8 file extensions are saved, many variables have 8 entries, indicated by *8. | |||
| Parameter | Typical values (default if in [brackets]) |
Description | Notes |
| demoz | 0 or 1 (*8) | 1 to demosaic the image using Matlab’s simple routing. 2 keeps image in Bayer raw format. |
|
| endian | 0 or 1 (*8) | Endian setting (for uint16 input-only). | |
| height | number (pixels) | Width of image in pixels | |
| inpix_size | 1, 2, or 3 (*8) | Input pixel size: 1 for uint8 (8-bits), 2 for uint16 (16-bits), 3 for uint32 | |
| outpix_size | 1 or 2 (*8) | Output pixel size: 1 for uint8 (8-bits) or 2 for uint16 (16-bits) | |
