Required/Optional: Required

The value for this keyword is the file containing the PHOCUS dataset to be read. A typical mapping file fragment specifying an input PHOCUS dataset looks like:

PHOCUS_DATASET /usr/data/phocus/db84.pdt

Workbench Parameter: Destination PHOCUS PHODAT File(s)

XSCALE

Required/Optional: Required

The scaling factor to apply to all X coordinates as they are stored in the phocus file. This factor will also be stored.

Workbench Parameter: X Scaling Factor

YSCALE

Required/Optional: Required

The scaling factor to apply to all Y coordinates as they are stored in the phocus file. This factor will also be stored.

Workbench Parameter: Y Scaling Factor

ZSCALE

Required/Optional: Required

The scaling factor to apply to all Z coordinates as they are stored in the phocus file. This factor will also be stored.

Workbench Parameter: Z Scaling Factor

XOFFSET

Required/Optional: Required

The offset to apply to all X coordinates as they are stored in the phocus file. This factor will also be stored.

Workbench Parameter: X Offset

YOFFSET

Required/Optional: Required

The offset to apply to all Y coordinates as they are stored in the phocus file. This factor will also be stored.

Workbench Parameter: Y Offset

ZOFFSET

Required/Optional: Required

The offset to apply to all Z coordinates as they are stored in the phocus file. This factor will also be stored.

Workbench Parameter: Z Offset

ZIGNORE

Required/Optional: Required

This flag indicates whether or not Z values will be ignored when the phocus file is output.

Valid values are 0 or 1 — 0 indicates that the values will NOT be ignored, whereas 1 indicates they will be ignored.

Workbench Parameter: Ignore Z Values
