Saving and Naming an Image
Whenever an image is saved, the image ID number is increased progressively
from 1 to 255. The image file name, when first saved, consists of a four
character year, a two character month, a two character day, a week day, a two
character hour, a two character minute, a two character second, and a three
digit image ID number.
You can rename the file using SmartView installed on a personal computer.
However, the original time and date stamp imbedded in the image file remains
unchanged.
Connecting the Camera to a Computer
You can connect your Camera to a personal computer (PC) installed with
SmartView™ software and transfer images saved in the Camera’s memory to
the PC. Then, use SmartView to add annotations, references, and comments to
your InSight images, as well as change image color palettes and rename,
analyze, organize, and print images.
Note
If the PC you are using has both RS-232 and USB options, connect
the Camera to the PC using the RS-232 port and cable. If the PC has
only a USB port, use a combination of the RS-232/USB cable and
RS-232 cable. The procedures for both options are described on the
following pages.
Using an RS-232 Port Connection
To connect the Camera to a PC using the PC RS-232 port:
1.
Connect the RS-232 cable to the PC and Camera.
2.
Be sure SmartView is installed on your PC then open the application.
