Waveform Mapping

This tool maps the corresponding waveforms onto the points in the F5-file. Therefore, beside the F5-file itself, also the waveform-files (".wfm" or a "wff5.f5-file" exported from RXP) need to be specified. Please note that the ".wfm.idx" file needs to be in the same folder as the ".wfm", but only the ".wfm" has to be added to the input list. The F5-files and waveform-files don't have to be in the same folder, but the basename of the waveform-file (the filename before the dot or in case of a wff5-file the filename before the '_wff5.f5') must be part of the F5-file's basename, otherwise the app cannot match them. E.g. "123456_654321_Channel_G.wfm" would match both, "123456_654321_Channel_G_1.f5" and "workingcopy_123456_654321_Channel_G_0.f5"

Options:

• add MTA zone:
this will add the multiple-time-around zone to the file.
• add waveform direction vector:
this adds a field with the direction of the laser shot to the points. This field is required to visualize the waveforms and other modules, so we recommend to activate this option.
• t_ref:
is only needed to compensate a wrong calibration of the reference time (time interval between laser emission and start of echo recording)
• shift timestamps:
This value (in seconds) is added to the F5-file's timestamp. Needed if the timestamps of the pointfile and trajectory file are in different time representations (e.g. dayseconds and weekseconds).

The ratio of waveforms found per point is recorded in the logfile and saved as attribute "Waveforms found ratio" on the corresponding fragments of the field "Waveforms.DirectionDelta" in the F5-file. Please note that a value of 1.0 can only be reached in rare cases as not 100% of all waveforms are saved to the RXP by the scanner. Values above 0.95 are usually the maximum that can be achieved. If you encounter values smaller than 0.1 then your scanner might be calibrated wrongly. In this case please contact your scanner's manufacturer and ask for the correct reference time. Use this reference time via the t_ref option (see above).
