Output Folder

The Output Folder textbox contains the path to store measurement records (see Application Output). Use the Browse button to change the output folder by browsing to your selection.

Output Filename Prefix

The Output Filename Prefix contains the prefix to use for new measurement records. For example, a prefix of “CI-110 Demo Survey_” would cause all new measurements to be saved as files with that prefix. This can be used to keep project data organized within the application and elsewhere.

Output Image Format

The Output Image Format selection specifies the image format to use for each saved image (see Application Output).

Application Output

By default CI-110 images and data will be stored under the Windows user’s Documents folder in a subfolder called CI-110. Each measurement is saved as a .ci110 file. Within the .ci110 file, there are three separate files that can be accessed by re-naming the record in the CI-110 software. The three files are:

  1. Camera Image (.png, .bmp, etc.)
  2. Measurement.XML
  3. Cache.dat

To open a file, double-click on the filename which will open the CI-110 software and load the data.

To view the .xml data in Version 6 of the software:

  1. Re-open the .ci110 file in the software.

  2. Go to File Details on the drop down measurement menu list.

  3. Change the end of the filename to .zip. It will warn that changing from .ci110 to .zip will not allow the software to search for the file when you click browse in the Browse Records tab.

  4. Click Yes on the warning.

  5. Exit the software and open the .zip file. In the .zip file there is the .xml, which has the numerical data in it, as well as the .png image file.

  6. Remember to change the extension back to .ci110 to be able to browse/search for the file in the CI-110 software.
