FAQ
N1 to DCX Conversion
What are N1 files?
N1 is the file extension of products from Envisat, a large Earth observation satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA). The letters in the name stand for the satellite itself: N1 for Envisat-1, while products from the older ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites in the same family use E1 and E2. A file of this type contains the measurements of one instrument for one pass over the Earth, for example a radar image from ASAR, a color image of the ocean and land from the MERIS spectrometer, or sea surface temperature from AATSR. It also contains a description of the product and its quality. Many such files still lie in scientific archives, and they are used for research on oceans, ice, vegetation, and the atmosphere.
What are DCX files?
DCX files are multi-page images consisting of raster graphics, usually used to create fax files and functioning as a header that introduces a series of ensuing PCX files. DCX is a bitmap format and was initially developed together with the PCX format by Zsoft Corp. and was associated with PC Paintbrush. This graphics editing software was popular in the late 1980s on computers using the MS-DOS operating system, and later on it was adapted for Windows too.
