Adding a New Module

You can create a new module file by duplicating an existing one. A module can also be created and activated through the Data Layer, see Adding and removing modules.

On ctrlX OS

  1. Click the three dots to the right of the file name.

  2. Select Copy. The copy file window opens.

  3. Enter a new file name. It becomes the module’s name on the Data Layer, without .json and in lower case.

    You can also rename the file later: click the three dots to the right of the file name and select Rename.

  4. Click Copy to confirm. The new module configuration file is created.

  5. Edit the new file, for example to name its own TIFF file. See Module Configuration File.

  6. Add the name of the new file to the application settings (lumiscan-calibration.json):

    1. Left-click lumiscan-calibration.json. The JSON settings window opens on the right.
