Operation of the FastCamera USB is presumed to alternate between three main and one
optional state:

Continuous capture

is the mode when all incoming video data are stored into the

circular buffer located in the camera memory. The preview images of the captured
video are down-sampled from their actual resolution to 640x480 pixels and
displayed in the

Preview Display

window.

Erasing

camera

memory will restart this

mode from the beginning of the memory buffer. Asserting the internal or internal

Trigger

will push the camera to switch out of this state and into the

Triggered
