Stereotactic Frame File

You must write a file for the stereotactic frame that you are going to use.  Example files are under the directory frames.d in the program resource directory.  The format of the file is documented in the example files.  See the ASCII file standard in the Program Resources Files Chapter.  The comments do not have to be present in the file but help to document what is in the file.  An example stereotactic frame file follows here:

 

/* file format version: */ 1

/* name of the system: */ <*example frame file*>

/* Number of rods = */ 9

 

/* Following below will be the diameter of each rod, and its end points.  The rods will be numbered by the below order.

 

                     All in Centimeters

Diameter  x       y      z        x       y       z */
