| Grid(s) | grid list, input | GRIDS | ||
| Options | ||||
| Multiple | choice | MULTIPLE | If multiple grids are supplied: export each grid to a separate file or all grids to one multi-band file. Notice: Storing multiple bands in one file might not be supported by the selected format. For single files the grid name is used as file name. | Available Choices: [0] single files [1] one file Default: 1 |
| Folder | file path | FOLDER | The folder location to which single files will be stored. | |
| Extension | text | EXTENSION | ||
| File | file path | FILE | The GDAL dataset to be created. | |
