in memory
A slide tray is usually loaded with slides starting at location
number one and continuing on around the tray in sequence until
the last location is loaded. When the slide tray is full, a slide must
be removed before another slide can be put in. The Processor
memory is loaded with images in a similar way. The first image is
placed in the first frame of Processor memory. The second image
is placed in the next frame and so on until image number 1637 is
placed in the last location. When the Processor memory is full,
the Processor will erase the image in the first frame and insert a
new picture in its place. This process continues frame by frame
around the circle. The result is that the Processor memory always
holds the most recent 1637 images.
The record mode specifies the procedure used to store frames
into memory during a recording. The three record modes are:
REC (Record), REC STOP (Record Stop)
and REC TRIG (Record Trigger).
