Adding image channels to a PCIDSK file

In the Add Image Channels window, you can add 8-bit, 16-bit signed, 16-bit unsigned, or 32-bit real, 16-bit signed complex, and 32-bit real complex data channels to a PCIDSK file.

Note: To add one or more channels, the file must be writable (unlocked).

You can only add channels to a PCIDSK file. If the PCIDSK file is band-interleaved or file-interleaved, new channels are added at the end of the file. If the file is pixel-interleaved, new bands are added such that all the bands of a particular type are kept together, and ordered by size. For example, adding an 8-bit band to a pixel-interleaved file with an existing 16U band results in the new channel being designated as channel 1, and the old channel being designated as channel 2.

Note: When adding channels to a PCIDSK file, make sure that there is sufficient space on the hard disk where the PCIDSK file is located; that is, the size of the file will increase according to the number of channels added.
