- Description
- The PCS file format is associated with Pfaff sewing and embroidery machines. It is specifically designed to store embroidery design data that can be read and utilized by Pfaff-branded machines. A PCS file contains instructions on stitches, thread colors, and other design elements necessary for the machine to accurately recreate the embroidery pattern on fabric. This file format allows for the transfer and storage of embroidery designs, enabling users to share, edit, and manage their embroidery projects efficiently.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
