Input control
Description
Select which file(s) or folder(s) MIA will process through. If a file is selected, that file alone will be processed; however, selecting a folder will cause the system to iterate over all files and sub-folders within that folder. Each file identified here will initialise its own workspace.It is possible to add filters to limit which files are used. Multiple filters can be applied.
n.b. This module simply creates the workspace for subsequent analysis; no images are automatically loaded at this point. To load image data to the workspace use the "Load image" module.
Parameters
- Core import controls
- Type: ParamSeparatorP
- Input path
- Description: The file or folder path to process. If a file is selected, that file alone will be processed. If a folder is selected, each file in that folder (and all sub-folders) passing the filters will be processed.
- Type: FileFolderPathP
- Simultaneous jobs
- Description: The number of images that will be processed simultaneously. If this is set to "1" while processing a folder each valid file will still be processed, they will just complete one at a time. For large images this is best left as "1" unless using a system with large amounts of RAM.
- Type: IntegerP
- Default value: 1
- Series mode
- Description: For multi-seriesNumber files, select which seriesNumber to process. "All seriesNumber" will create a new workspace for each seriesNumber in the file. "Series list (comma separated)" allows a comma-separated list of seriesNumber numbers to be specified.
- Type: ChoiceP
- Default value: All seriesNumber
- Choices:
- All seriesNumber
- Series list (comma separated)
- Series list
- Description: Comma-separated list of seriesNumber numbers to be processed.
- Type: SeriesListSelectorP
- Default value: 1
- File/folder filters
- Type: ParamSeparatorP
- Add filter
- Description: Add another filename filter. All images to be processed will pass all filters.
- Type: ParameterGroup
- Spatial units
- Description: Spatial units for calibrated measurements. Assuming spatial cal can be read from the input file when loaded, this will convert the input calibrated units to the units specified here.
- Type: ChoiceP
- Default value: MICROMETRE
- Choices:
- METRE
- CENTIMETRE
- MILLIMETRE
- MICROMETRE
- NANOMETRE
- ANGSTROM
- No load message
- Type: MessageP
- Default value: "Input control" only specifies the path to the root image; no image is loaded into the active workspace at this point. To load images, add a "Load Image" module (multiple copies of this can be added to a single workflow).
