FAQ
FPL to FITS 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 FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
