AMICS File Structure

currently amics stores the measured data in two distinct data structures, with all the tabulated data stored within a sqlite database format with a file extension of mre while all the spatial data, i e bse image, secondary channel image, segment image and x ray points table, are stored as binary files for each filed meaurements these binary files are loacted in the subfolder named files the naming convention for the binary files containing the bse image will always be amicsmeasurefield \<n> fld binary files containing the segmentation image will always be amicsmeasurefield \<n> fld segdata, and binary files for the x ray point table are stores in files name amicsmeasurefield \<n> fld xrays in all cases the \<n> variable will be a field index number starting from 1 and incrementing up to the last field number in addition to these base data storage files, the orginal data folder will contain a text file, with the same prefix as the mre file name this text file will contain a summary log collected during the anlaysis, which allows users to trace back any issues which might have occurred during the anlaysis there will also be a copy of the tabulated data since last modification (generally when amics process is closed), which will have the same prefix and the main mre file, but will has the additiional prefix of cached this file is a useful backup in case as an emergency there is a need to return back to before changes were made to the data if a measurement result needs to be tranferred to another location or personal, it is important to include all these files and folder, while also retaining the folder structure note as of amics version 5 1 0 , all tabulated data will also be stored in a json datastring saved in the folder specified in settings the json file can be directly ingested by amics reports for visualization on dashboards and for the automated report generator in process settings if 'export format" is set to "reports json" , process will export data as json files to the selected folder after reclassification note as of amics version 5 1 0 , process can export all tabulated, image, and particle images into a compressed binary format amics reports will ingest this data, allowing it to visualize spatial data the binary file will be saved in the folder defined in the process settings "folder pm" and "folder non pm"
