File>Open Data – is used to load a new data set for post-processing.
File>Save Data Set – opens a dialog with output options before saving the processed data
set.
File>Create Tecplot Data – to save the processed data set in a format compatible with
TecPlot. Style files for TecPlot are also generated.
Image>PreProcess – opens a menu with image pre-processing options (Short-cut key:
CTRL+I).
Image>Edit Mask – starts the mask editor program PIVmask.
Image>Zoom out, Image>Zoom in – increases or reduces the magnification of the image
on the screen. If the image no longer fits the screen scroll bars on the edges allow image
panning (Short-cut keys: +,–).
Image>Brighter – increases the image brightness on the screen (Short-cut key: B).
Image>Darker – decreases the image brightness on the screen (Short-cut key: D).
Image>Auto-scale – sets default intensity on image
Image>Change LUT – changes the display look-up table (LUT). Each click of the icon
picks the next or previous LUT in a circular list. When scalar data (e.g. vorticity) is
displayed in place of the PIV image, the accompanying LUT is changed. (Short-cut key: L).

within the data set. The vector closest to the mouse cursor is selected.
PIV>Statistics – presents a summary of statistics of the computed data set including the
number of data points, number of outliers, various mean values and standard deviations as
well as the maxima and minima.
