Digitizing Standard Mounts with More than 128 Standards
When creating digitized standard files for the standard mounts, it should be noted that the program has a limit of MAXSTD% standards (normally equals 128). However, this limitation is easily overcome for standard mounts that contain more than 128 standards. The following instructions will explain how to bypass the 128 standard limit in the STAGE digitize feature:
1. First clear the current position database (POSITION.MDB) by clicking the Standards option and then clicking Delete All from the Digitize! window.
2. Next from the Standard | Add/Remove Standards To/From Run menu (from the main STAGE window) select the first 128 standards to be digitized.
3. Now digitize these 128 standards using the Digitize Sample Positions dialog. Typically only a single random point need be digitized, but more will be utilized by the software if they are digitized explicitly.
4. Next, exit the STAGE program and re-start it. Open the Digitize! window. The first 128 standard sample positions will be listed.
5. Now, go back to the Standard | Add/Remove Standards To/From Run menu and add an additional (up to) 128 standards for the next phase of digitizing.
6. Digitize these next 128 standards, again using the Digitize Sample Positions dialog.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 if necessary.
