These values must be set before you make a recording, see Figure 3-7. The Pre- and Post-Event
windows show the number of frames that precede and follow Frame 0. Select the Rising Edge or
Falling Edge box depending on whether the
incoming Trigger signal is a positive-going or
negative-going signal.
3.6 Viewing Camera Properties
You can view the parameters of your PCI
video system by placing the mouse pointer
into a camera window during live or playback
functions, and click the right mouse button.
This brings up the Camera Properties dialog
box with the following information. See
Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-7 The Set Trigger Dialog Box.
·
Model number. The number 500, 1000, etc. denotes the maximum frame rate for the
system.
·
System Serial Number. Always make sure that the serial numbers for components in a
system are the same. Redlake Imaging products are checked out as a system and
exchanging component parts will degrade the picture quality.
·
Color/Mono. This indicates whether the system presents a monochrome or color picture.
This determines the settings for the host computer monitor, see Section 2-3.
·
Max Record Rate. Refer to Appendix A to
see the record times for your system.
·
Memory Installed. Refer to Appendix A for
performance details for your system.
·
Drive and Board version. This information is
not useful for an operator.
·
Description. This indicates the current status
for the system. Normally the message says:
”The Camera is working properly.” Contact
Redlake MASD, Inc. or your supplier if this
field shows any other message.

3.7 Recording an Event
Click on the REC button and
the REC button flashes to
indicate that the system is
recording the live image from
the camera. The display goes
blank but the image from the
camera can be seen on a
monitor connected to the
Composite Out connector.
The system continues to
record until you click on the
Stop
[ ]
button, or a Trigger
signal from an external source
stops the recording sequence.
The display shows the last
frame recorded. See Figure
3-9.
