If you don't intend to use the dust and scratch removal features SRD or iSRD - for example because your scanner does not support iSRD in the first place or because you are scanning black and white negatives - the workflow to create linear scans remains similar to what applied to previous versions of SilverFast.
All you need to do is scan your slides and negatives in the mode intended for positive film and select '16 Bit HDR' for grayscale scans and '48 Bit HDR' for color scans. If your scanner features an infrared light source and you'd like to get the respective data as a surplus alpha channel to use in your own dust and scratch removal techniques in Photoshop or elsewhere simply select '64 Bit HDRi' when scanning color films.
It should be noted that using '32 Bit HDRi' usually does not make much sense for monochrome film because the clusters of silver halides that typically occur in such photographic material tend to be opaque to the infrared light source just as dust and scratches would be.
Therefore the resulting alpha channel likely won't be very useful. If you wish to use either of the dust and scratch removal features you'll find that unlike in SilverFast 6. For Silverfast 8 SE that means that there is no useful way to create linear scans while using the dust and scratch removal techniques at all.
