Saving Image Files
This section describes the procedure for saving recorded images (Figs. 5-28, 5-29, and 5-
30).
Factory settings save images to the "Image" folder on the C: drive. To save images on a
different drive, change the "C" or other drive name indicated in the
"ImagePath=C:¥Image" in the "HPVX.ini" file, located in the same folder as the
"HPVX.exe" file, to the desired drive. (Do not change anything else in the HPVX.ini file.)
When images are recorded for the first time on a particular day, image files are
automatically saved in the "Image" folder, in a subfolder named based on the current date
("2012_01_09" for a folder created on January 9, 2012, for example).
In addition, dedicated 16-bit format image files are automatically created inside the
"YYYY_MM_DD" folder. These files are named based on the name of the camera used
for recording and the time the images were recorded, in the form "(camera
name)_HH_MM_SS.dat" (where, "Cam1_12_34_56.dat" indicates an image file recorded
at 12:34:56 using camera "Cam1," for example).
Also, if an image file format other than DAT is selected, as described in "Selecting the
format for saving recording data" in 5.4.1 Setting Recording Parameters, a folder named
"BMP," "JPEG," "AVI8, "AVI24," "TIFF," or "TIFF16" is automatically created at the
same directory level as where the image file is saved and image data is saved in that
folder, separated into individual folder named in the form "(camera name)_HH_MM_SS"
folders. (See Fig. 5-28.)
Fig. 5-28 Hierarchical Structure of Data Files
If the available space on the drive where images are save drops below 200 MB, clicking
the [REC] button will display a confirmation dialog box. (See "Recording" in 5.4.1 Setting
Recording Parameters.)
If the message appears, free up at least 200 MB of space on the drive for saving the image
data or change the destination to a different drive with at least 200 MB of space available.
The free space required for each recording using respective file formats is indicated in
Table 5-1.
