Description

DB Connect - EdgeDiffraction (3D) opens (or creates) a 3D zero-offset Edge Diffraction imaging storage database and exposes a handle that other Edge Diffraction modules in the same flow can use to write new results into or read previously computed results from. Place this module at the start of an edge-diffraction imaging workflow to point the whole flow at a single shared results database for a 3D survey. If the specified file already exists, its contents are opened automatically so earlier results are available; if it does not exist, a new empty database is created the first time the flow runs.

Parameters

Storage file

Path to the edge-diffraction database file (extension .bdb) that will store the 3D zero-offset diffraction imaging results for this project or survey area. Choose or create one dedicated file per diffraction-imaging project; every downstream Edge Diffraction module that needs to write results into, or read results from, this project should be connected to the same storage file so they all share one consistent database.

Default: none. You must supply a path before the module can run; the file is created automatically the first time it is used if it does not already exist.

Output data

GMigrationEdgeDiffractionStorageDriver3D_ZOItem

An open connection (handle) to the 3D zero-offset Edge Diffraction storage database identified by Storage file. Connect this output to the other Edge Diffraction imaging modules in the flow so they can write new migrated diffraction results into the database, or read previously computed results for display, quality control, or further analysis.
