General Procedures

To start working with ZSA you need to import a model. Additionally, importing a model implies that you need to know the dimensions of the model and its bitrate.

Note: PVM models can be converted into RAW models with the tool included in the software. Some of the models provided by the Links section have this format.



After clicking on Import->RAW you will be able to select a file and inform about the features of the model as can be seen in the picture.



ZSA will abort the loading if the file is not big enough to fit the dimensions specified. By the other hand if there are bytes remaining to be loaded in the file those will be ignored


Image Loading

If the model has been loaded you will see the histogram in the main window

Together with the visualitzation of the models the data conversion is one of the features of ZSA.

ZSA allows you to convert your work into either RAW or VTK formats while exporting



RAW: You can resample your model by exporting to a RAW file. 8 bits models will be upsampled to 16 and, 16 bits models will be downsampled to 8 bits.

VTK: By the other hand ZSA keeps the look to the open standard formats as VTK.
