Add Multiple Datasets in IDCube Format

This function is only available for data recorded or converted to the IDCube format. For other formats, the user needs to first convert the data file and the reference files into the IDCube format. The files might have different spatial (X-Y) coordinates but must have the same spectral (Z) coordinate.

Features:

Enables the users to open several datasets and treat them as a single file.

Steps:

1.    Select File —> Open Multiple IDCube Datasets and select one of the options. The available options are:

a.      Horizontally – adds files horizontally. Spatial coordinates might be different, but the spectral coordinates should be the same.

b.      Vertically – adds files vertically (up to 3 files). Spatial coordinates might be different, but the spectral coordinates should be the same.

c.      Z-axis – adds file along the spectral (Z) axis.

2.      Select Multiple IDCube Datasets (the files must be in the same folder).

If four or more files are selected, then the files are arranged in the most compact form such as 2 x 2 for four files.

When the Z-axis is selected, the files are open stacking in the Z direction. Notice that spectra of the new dataset in the SPECTRAL ANALYSIS panel reflect three files.
