The 'Framegrabber' menu
The framegrabber menu is used for setting the data storage and greyscale histogram display
parameters, and for grabbing a frame and creating an image file from the live image.
Clicking 'Display framebuffer' or 'Display
histogram' under 'Configuration' will display the
frame currently captured by the camera, or the
histogram of that frame, respectively.
'Show framebuffer as:' allows the current frame
to be shown either as a greyscale, false-color
or RGB image (only LOGLUX

i5 CL camera),
but the image data are not manipulated.
'Grabbing mode' is only available with the
LOGLUX

i5 CL color version.
Under 'Grab image as:' the greyscale values of
the grabbed frame can be choose between
greyscale or bayer formated (colour) image
datas.
'Grab image as:’ is only available with the
LOGLUX

i5 CL color version.
In 'Grabber setup' user can enter a time-out for
image
capture via framegrabber within
milliseconds. This option is primarily important
for controlled picture capturing via external
triggering signal.
'Save as:' allows the user to save the live
image as an image file or video sequence
(button 'Image' or 'Sequence') to a data
medium. When storing it as a video sequence,
the user has the choice between a continuous
stream of frames (option 'Continous Stream') or
a given number of successive frames
('Sequence length'). In both cases, the file
stream (AVI or raw data format) storage
process can be cancelled by repeatedly
clicking the 'Sequence' button which now reads
‚Stop‘.
