Tile Numbering

There are 12 tiles in each swath of each camera segment. Tiles are numbered 01–12, regardless of swath number or camera segment, and represented in two digits.

The complete tile number includes 5 digits to represent the location, as follows:

•

Surface—1 represents the top surface; 2 represents the bottom surface

•

Swath—1, 2, or 3

•

Camera—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6

•

Tile—01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, or 12

Example: Tile number 12508 indicates top surface, swath 2, camera 5, and tile 8.

The complete five-digit tile number is used in the file name of thumbnail images and empirical phasing files. For more information, refer to Sequencing Output Files.
