Imatest Master version 22.1.2+ provides a utility to migrate the settings for blemish and uniformity in the INI file to the new Flat Field settings.
If you have been using Uniformity, or Blemish in pre-22.1 Imatest versions, and you wish to migrate your current settings to Flat field settings, you should use this procedure.
If you wish to use the default Flat field settings, no action is required.
Instructions
This migration utility can be run from the new Imatest main window, or from the Classic UI. Directions for running the utility both ways are given below.
Migrating when using the New main window interface
Choose any image file
Choose Flat Field Interactive module
Click the “Analyze” button
On the Flatfield analysis window, choose “INI File Settings” -> “Update from pre-22.1 INI”, and confirm that you want to migrate settings. Prior to migration, a backup is taken of the current INI file.
Migrating when using Classic Imatest interface
Select Flat Field Interactive module
Press “Cancel” when asked to select an image
On the Flatfield analysis window, choose “INI File Settings” -> “Update from pre-22.1 INI”, and confirm that you want to migrate settings. Prior to migration, a backup is taken of the current INI file.
More about this migration utility:
Settings will be migrated over from the previous Uniformity and Blemish sections, to create the Flatfield settings. In the case of conflicting settings, Blemish settings will be given priority.
The migrated settings will be saved in the current INI file. As part of settings migration, a log file will be created that lists which settings were migrated, and if there were any conflicts. The backup and log files will be located in the folder where your ini file is located.
You will receive a message at the end of migration that gives the exact name and location of the log and backup files.
