Viewing and Editing Point and Area Scans

After acquiring a point or area scan, you may wish to view the associated acquisition, change the filename (if the file as been moved or renamed), or change the comment. You can do so either by double-clicking on the point or area on the image, or by double-clicking the point or area from the Project Window (you may also, simply select it here and hit the Enter key). This will bring up the Edit Point/Area Acquisition Dialog.

When making changes in the Edit Point/Area Acquisition Dialog, you can make changes without re-acquiring by hitting the Enter key or clicking the Apply button.

Changing the Comment

You can change the comment associated with this point or area at any time, regardless of whether you have acquired data. The comment is displayed on the image and in the Project Window. Also, if you have AugerScan 3, the comment is displayed in the Point/Area drop-down list in AugerScan. Note: if you have already acquired a point or area, you can change the comment in AugerMap, but this will not affect the comment as it is displayed in the AugerScan acquisition file).

Viewing the AugerScan Acquisition

To view the acquisition associated with this point or line, simply click the View button. Note that the View button is not displayed if this acquisition has not yet acquired data.

Changing the Acquisition Filename

If you have moved the file associated with this point or area, or have changed the filename, you need to notify AugerScan of this change (the current filename and full path is displayed under the comment). To do so, click the Change button. This will display the standard Windows File dialog. You can choose any AugerScan file to associate with this point or area, but it is up to you to ensure that it is the correct acquisition. The Change button is not displayed if this acquisition has not yet acquired data.
