6.5 The “Recording" tab
Recorder Mode
The Camware will use free RAM space on your computer. The recorded
images will be temporally saved as 16bit multi TIFF. In [Sequence] mode the
recording stops when RAM space is full. In [Ring Buffer] mode the camera
will stop only by a stop command, hence overwriting previous images. For
longer recording periods an appropriate RAID system is necessary, see also
the 'Direct Record To File' option on page 36.
Acquire Mode
The acquire mode gives you the ability to enable or disable the recording by
an external signal. If set to [Auto] all images are accepted and all images
taken are saved. A signal at the acq enbl input (see chapter 6.6) is ignored
for this function.
If set to [External], the camera will only record images, if the external signal
enables recording.
This sensor timing scheme is paused by the signal at the acq enbl input.
The acq enbl input is sampled at the beginning of the image generation,
which can be seen at the rising edge of the busy stat output. If the acq
enbl input is high (low, when inverted) when an image is acquired, it
causes an idle state until the acq enbl input is low (high, when inverted).
In trigger mode [External Exp. Start], the acq enbl input works like a gate
for the trigger signal. A trigger edge (rising, falling when exp trig is
inverted) is accepted only when the acq enbl signal is high (low, when
inverted).
