5.7. Record Settings
The Record Settings dialog box allows the user to select the recording parameters. The
images may be acquired directly to RAM or to the selected directory on the hard disk. When
images are recorded they are streamed to HOST RAM. The maximum number of images that
can be streamed at the video rate to HOST memory depends on the maximum system
capacity and the number that the user allows. When a longer record is required, the file
storage feature needs to be enabled. In this case the system acquires to RAM followed to a
write to disk until the desired record length is achieved.
Acquisitions directory
Browse to the directory of selections for saving acquired images. This is the parent directory
for the saved images. Each time the images are recorded a new sub-directory containing the
actual image files is created.
Samples / Images
The parameter indicates the total number of samples recorded in the acquisition. If the
camera is in double exposure modes, each sample is an image pair and the number of
images is two times the number of samples. If the camera is in single exposure mode,
samples and images correspond.
Memory Limit
This parameter limits the amount of RAM memory that can be used to acquire the images. If
the "System" value is set, the application reserves 50% of the system memory.
Free memory
The progress bar indicates the amount of available memory according to the memory limit.
