Recording settings contain the following features:
• Saved images file format: available formats include .jpg, .bmp, .tif, .png and .webm
• Saved images dynamic range: available options depend on Camera settings (larger
dynamic range increases the size of the saved files)
• Save guidelines to images: guideline information will be “burnt” to the images
• Save timestamps to images: time information will be “burnt” to the images
• Recorder root folder: specify the desired root folder for the recorded images
• Image file and folder naming conventions: select the desired options
• Automatically delete old files: can be used for managing disk space if needed
• Capture options:
o Max. frames to capture: specify number of frames to capture
▪ For unlimited recording, set “Max. frames to capture” to “0”
o Save every Nth frame (1 = save all frames)
▪ This feature can be applied in order to save disk space
o Capture to RAM buffer (if selected, images will be saved in RAM memory;
otherwise images will be saved on hard disk under Recorder root folder)
▪ Capture until max. frames limit, then stop
• This option captures a predefined number of images to RAM
and then stops automatically
▪ Capture continuously to a ring buffer of …sec
• This option continuously captures images to RAM memory and
keeps the most recent images within the specified duration in
memory, until stopped
▪ Buffer T1 sec continuously, then capture T2 sec after trigger
• This 2-part ring buffer option enables capturing images for a
specified duration before and after a dedicated trigger. Trigger
can come from operator or from external source (see separate
guide for external control for more details)
• This option also enables automatic save and restart
o Do not update display while recording: selecting this option frees PC resources
if needed
5.2.9 Recording images
Recording is started by pressing “REC” button (see Fig. 5.10C). This will start recording
according to the recording settings (see Section 5.2.8). If “Max. frames to capture” under
recording settings is nonzero, the recording will stop automatically after the specified number
of frames has been captured. Otherwise the recording has to be stopped by pressing the
“REC” button again or the recording continues until the destination (either hard disk or RAM)
is full (except in the case of ring buffer recording).
5.2.10 Viewing and saving recorded images
Recorded images can be viewed by selecting the recording destination (either a folder on hard
disk or RAM) as source (see Fig. 5.10B). The corresponding screen view is shown in Fig.
5.23 below (in Fig. 5.23 the source is RAM).
