ImageInterfacePresent=0
This parameter indicates if an imaging interface is available for use by Probe for EPMA in digitizing stage positions graphically. A non-zero value indicates that the imaging interface is available. The default is zero for no imaging interface.
ImageInterfaceType=0
This parameter indicates the type of imaging interface available. A value of zero is the demonstration imaging interface. The default is zero for the demonstration imaging interface. The current interfaces that are defined are:
0 = Demonstration imaging interface
1 = Unused
2 = Unused
3 = Unused
4 = JEOL 8200/8500, 8900, 8230/8530 interface (TCP/IP) imaging interface
5 = SX100/SXFive (TCP/IP) imaging interface
6 = SX100/SXFive Video (TCP/IP) imaging interface (normally used for analog imaging)
7 = JEOL OEM EDS/Imaging interface (TCP/IP)
8 = Unused
9 = Bruker Quantax Server
10 = Thermo TE Portal Server
ImageInterfaceNameChan1="SE"
ImageInterfaceNameChan2="BSE"
ImageInterfaceNameChan3="CL"
This keywords are used to indicate the signal types for the analog input channels. Usually either "SE" or "BSE" signals are used for image digitizing purposes. Leave empty to disable the channel.
ImageInterfacePolarityChan1=0
ImageInterfacePolarityChan2=0
ImageInterfacePolarityChan3=0
These keywords specify whether the analog signal obtained from the image interface is inverted or not. A normal signal (ImageInterfacePolarityChan1=0) is inverted, that is black = 255 and white = 0. If ImageInterfacePolarityChan1 is set to a non-zero number, then the analog signal is treated as non-inverted, that is black = 0 and white = 255.
ImageInterfaceImageIxIy=1.0
This parameter is used to specify the aspect ratio of X over Y, for the normal beam scan generated by the imaging interface. A value of one is the default and would specify a square beam scan. A value greater or less than one would specify a rectangular beam scan. Normally the SX100/SXFive Video interface is a 4/3 ratio (or 1.333), so for example 1024 x 768.
ImageInterfaceCalNumberOfBeamCalibrations=1
This new field specifies the number of beam scan calibrations that are utilized by the software to calibrate the beam scan images. The minimum (default) is 1, the maximum is 32.
Basically the beam scan calibration is based on the current keV and magnification and returns the X or Y scan width or height and the scan rotation. If only one beam scan calibration is specified, the application always utilizes that value adjusted for the current magnification assuming a linear 1:1 relationship in magnification.
If more than one beam scan calibration is specified, the values must be separated by commas and enclosed in double quotations as shown here:
ImageInterfaceCalNumberOfBeamCalibrations=2
ImageInterfaceCalKeV="15.0,15.0"
ImageInterfaceCalMag="400.0,800.0"
ImageInterfaceCalXMicrons="805.0,402.5"
ImageInterfaceCalYMicrons="803.0, 401.5"
ImageInterfaceCalScanRotation="0.0,0.1"
The program will search for matching keV calibrations. If none are found it will use the first beam scan calibration. If only one is found to match the specified keV, it will perform a linear extrapolation based on a 1:1 relationship in magnification.
Otherwise, if multiple calibrations are found the program will find the two nearest neighbor beam scan calibrations for the specified keV and interpolate them.
ImageInterfaceCalKeV=”15.0”
This parameter specifies the operating voltage in kilovolts used for the ImageInterfaceCalXMicrons and ImageInterfaceYMicrons calibration. The default is 15 and the minimum is 1 and maximum is 50.
ImageInterfaceCalMag=”400.0”
This parameter specifies the magnification used for the ImageInterfaceCalXMicrons and ImageInterfaceYMicrons calibration. The default is 400 and the minimum is 10 and maximum is 10000.
ImageInterfaceCalXMicrons=”805.0”
ImageInterfaceCalYMicrons=”803.0”
These parameters specify the actual X and Y beam scan size at the kilovolt and magnification parameters specified above. These parameters are used the calculate the stage position of the beam deflection. The default ImageInterfaceCalXmicrons is 800 and the default ImageInterfaceCalYmicrons is 800 and the minimum is 10 and maximum is 10000.
ImageInterfaceCalScanRotation="0.0"
This parameter specifies the returned or interpolated scan rotation for then specified keV and magnification. The default is 0 and the minimum is 0 and maximum is less than 360.
ImageInterfaceBeamXPolarity=0
ImageInterfaceBeamYPolarity=0
ImageInterfaceStageXPolarity=0
ImageInterfaceStageYPolarity=0
ImageInterfaceDisplayXPolarity=0
ImageInterfaceDisplayYPolarity=0
These six parameters specify the polarity of the image display, beam deflection and stage registration coordinate systems. That is, the display polarity for the orientation of the displayed image, the beam polarity for the beam deflection polarity and the stage polarity for the stage registration polarity. The default is zero for normal (graphical) registration using lower left as minimum and upper right as maximum (SX100/SXFive default). JEOL microprobes use a reversed Cartesian reference system. Any non-zero value will re-orient the beam, stage or display registration.
Typical Settings for Image Orientation based on Imaging Interface Type:
ImageInterfaceType= 0 Demonstration Mode (usually JEOL orientation)
ImageInterfaceBeamXPolarity=1 ; depends on emulation
ImageInterfaceBeamYPolarity=0 ; depends on emulation
ImageInterfaceStageXPolarity=1 ; depends on emulation
ImageInterfaceStageYPolarity=1 ; depends on emulation

ImagePaletteNumber=1
The default palette used for image display can be specified here. The options are:
0 Use grayscale palette (calculated)
1 Use palette file "THERMAL.FC"
2 Use palette file "RAINBOW.FC"
3 Use palette file "BLUERED.FC"
4 Use palette file "CUSTOM.FC"
Note that the CUSTOM.FC file is not supplied but is calculated if missing. However this file, once generated, can be modified by using the False Color dialog in MicroImage to any palette desired by the user. The other false color palette files should not be modified by the user.
ImageDisplaySizeInCentimeters=38.0
This parameter specifies the size of the display image in Probe for EPMA. It is utilized to calculate magnification only for the SX100/SXFive instrument which does not utilize magnification but rather a “field of view parameter” (FOV) which is normally scaled to a display size of 38cm (15 inches) by default (100x = 3800um FOV).
ImageAutoBrightnessContrastSEGain=350
ImageAutoBrightnessContrastSEOffset=480
ImageAutoBrightnessContrastBSEGain=350
ImageAutoBrightnessContrastBSEOffset=480
These parameters are used to set starting values for the automatic brightness/contrast video adjustment. The default values are 350 for the contrast (gain) and 480 for the offset (brightness) for the SX100/SXFive.
Lower the Offset value to automatically increase the PM value (gain).
ImageAlternateScaleBarUnits=0
Specify the alternate scale bar unit label for the image display dialog. The default is zero for no alternate scale bar unit display. Specify values 1 through 8 for other units (in addition to um or microns).
1 = nm, 2 = um, 3 = mm, 4 = cm, 5 = meters, 6 = microinches, 7 = milliinches, 8 = inches
ImageShiftMinimumMag=1267
This is the minimum magnification for which the image shift values can be set and applies only to the Cameca Sx100/SXFive instruments. It is actually the magnification which the first scan coil changes to the second scan coil.
The default is 1267, but should be edited for the actual value, e.g., 1301.
ImageMosaicSizeX="10.0"
ImageMosaicSizeY="10.0"
ImageMosaicMag! = "400."
These fields are to specify the initial area of the mosaic imaging area and the beam scan magnification for acquisition of BSE, SE, etc. image mosaics over large areas in the Stage.exe application.
The units for the stage size is in stage units (mm for JEOL and um for Cameca). The defaults are 10 mm for JEOL and 10,000 um (10 mm) for Cameca.
ImageRGB1_R=”Fe”
ImageRGB1_G=”Mg”
ImageRGB1_B=”Ca”
These keywords define the default RGB elements for creating RGB mixed images from raw or quant data in CalcImage. The defaults are Red for Fe, Green for Mg and Blue for Ca.
