FAQ
FPL to CAL Conversion
What are FPL files?
FPL is a front panel layout file created by front panel design software, used to draw the faceplates of electronic devices, instruments, amplifiers, and enclosures. A file of this type describes a flat panel with its outline, drilled holes, cut-outs for displays, switches, and connectors, and printed labels or scales around controls. The design is a technical drawing with exact dimensions, meant to be printed as a template, sent to a CNC milling or engraving machine, or ordered from a panel manufacturing service. Files with the FPL extension are used by hobbyists, laboratories, and small manufacturers who build their own equipment. The extension is shared with other, unrelated formats, such as playlists and flight plans.
What are CAL files?
A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
