Cross-Platform File Exchange
It is possible to move image data between Discovery Series software applications on
different platforms. There are different protocols depending on the platform (PC or
Macintosh) you are transferring from and to.
M.1 Macintosh to PC
To transfer a file from a Discovery Series application running on a Macintosh to a
Discovery Series application running on a PC, you need to tag the file name with the
suffix appropriate to the image file type (e.g., 2-D scan).
For 2-D scans, use the suffix: .gsc
For Filtered images, use the suffix: .gim
For Gaussian images, use the suffix: .gsp
For calstrip scans, use the suffix: .csc
For matchsets, use the suffix: .ms
For high-level matchsets, use the suffix: .hms
M.2 PC to Macintosh
PC versions of Discovery Series files can be read directly by Macintosh applications,
with no required modifications.
