List files are a way to represent surface or image sequences. They are stored as ASCII format text files containing the filename of previously stored files on each line.
Creating Lists
To create a list file, use the File | New menu command and select either image
or surface list. An editor window will appear where file names may be typed in or added
automatically using the File | Add File(s) menu option or the 
button. Individual files may be opened in a new window by double-clicking the file name in the editor.
Using Lists
Minimum Version
Full Version
Once a list file is created or opened, operations can be performed on the sequence. Available operations:
| Combine | Average | The average, or mean, of the population at each pixel location is calculated. Choose whether to propagate non-valid pixels to the average. If non-valid pixels are not propagated, aberrations to subtract are specified and overlay statistics can be generated. |
| Combine | Median | The median, (max + min )/2, of the population at each pixel location is calculated. |
| Combine | Modulation | The modulation image,  , of the
population at each pixel location is calculated. |
| Combine | Add and Subtract | |
| Combine | Maximum and Minimum | |
| Combine | Stitch | Choose the Zernike order or aberrations to remove. Overlay statistics can be generated for surfaces. As each data set is overlaid, pixel statistics are optionally gathered. See overlay statistics. |
| Analysis | Phase | Phase analysis is described here. |
| View | Animate | Display a movie of image frames or surface representation. |
