- | * Green indicates the track has been recorded with data that has sector structures, no bad sectors, and low noise. | + | |
- | * Yellow means that it does see sector structures, but it is also seeing a bunch of noise and/or bad sectors. | + | |

The flux image makes an initial first pass reading of the disk. This initial pass helps the Flux Imager get its bearing as to what's on the disk. While making the first pass the flux image counts the current track in the middle of the screen (shown as 3C in the image below, or 60 in decimal) and displays the elapsed time to read the disk on the left-hand side. The current track count is represented as a hexadecimal number. The below image shows the first pass as it's nearing completion. | The flux image makes an initial first pass reading of the disk.

Here are some example flux recordings so you can see how the visualization differs between various floppy data formats. In addition, note that the metadata fields change depending on what is selected in the Platform pulldown. This is to help you identify dependencies frequently encountered on each computing platform. | Here are some example flux recordings so you can see how the visualization differs between various floppy data formats.
