Hi Dietmar,

you have two options.

16-bit RGB Image (Red = Heightmap, Green = Intensity, Blue = Stamps)  
16-bit Grey Scale Image (Images are stiched below each other).

There should be an XML file in the GenTL installation folder where you can configure which mode is selected. File is called `Go2GenTL.xml`.

More information about the image files of the Gocator and how to set up the GenTL can be found in the manual of the Gocator (page 502ff).

Hope that helps. Call me if anything is unclear.

Regards,  
Theo
