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.
