Throughout the photometric reduction process, Phoranso utilizes a fixed-name Memory folder to store intermediate files. These files allow users to resume photometry for one or more Science folders at any moment, without requiring Phoranso to reprocess images that have already undergone the photometric pipeline.  


Using the Plot Light curves from Memory feature, it is possible to extract light curves from the Memory folder and display them in the exact same way as clicking the Show Light Curves button in the Photometry dialog box.


Selecting Plot Light curves from Memory allows the user to navigate to an existing Memory folder and open the corresponding .prt file. This action opens the Select Target stars dialog box, which displays all variables for which light curve data are available.


From this list, choose one or more target stars and click the OK button. You can use the Sort button to sort all target stars alphabetically, or select all target stars at once using the Select all button.


Upon clicking OK, Phoranso will display Light curve windows for each selected target star. If only one target star is present in the Memory file, the selection step will be bypassed and Phoranso will immediately display the corresponding Light curve window.
