Plot This area controls which figures to plot. Figures are listed on the left. Plot settings are saved between runs. The boxes<br />

adjacent to "Cycles per" control the x-axis display for MTF plots. You can choose between Cycles per pixel (the default), Cycles per<br />

inch, or Cycles per mm. If you choose Cycles per inch or mm, you must enter a number for the pixel size— either in pixels per inch,<br />

pixels per mm, or microns per pixel. If pixel size is omitted, the x-axis will be displayed in Cycles per pixel. For the second plot you can<br />

choose between LW/PH and LP/PH (Line Pairs per Picture Height).<br />

Display options affects the appearance of plots.<br />

Secondary readout (defaults to MTF30, the spatial frequency for 30% contrast; MTF50 is the primary readout.) Can be set<br />

for MTFnn or MTFnnP at any contrast level or to MTF at a specified spatial frequency in cycles/pixel, line pairs/inch or line<br />

pairs/mm. For example, you might select MTF at the half-Nyquist frequency, 0.25 cycles/pixel. Details.<br />

MTF plot freq selects the maximum display frequency for MTF plots. The default is 2x Nyquist (1 cycle/pixel). This works well<br />

for high quality digital cameras, not for imaging systems where the edge is spread over several pixels. In such cases, a lower<br />

maximum frequency produces a more readable plot. 1x Nyquist (0.5 cycle/pixel), 0.5x Nyquist (0.25 cycle/pixel), and 0.2x<br />

Nyquist (0.1 cycle/pixel) are available.<br />

Edge plot selects the contents of the upper (edge) plot. Three displays are available. 1. Edge profile (linear) is the edge<br />

profile with gamma-encoding removed (the default). 2. Line spread function (LSF) is the derivative of the linear edge profile.<br />

3. Edge pixel profile is proportional to the edge profile in pixels, which includes the effects of gamma encoding. The edge can<br />

be cropped (default) or the entire edge can be displayed.<br />
