6.4.5 AutoSave
If the Auto Save mode is activated, frames will be stored to hard disk in the raw data format
automatically after the end of a triggered circular recording sequence. After completion of storing the
frames, a new recording sequence will be started. Autosaving will be ending when the user stops the
recording sequence (by pressing the F12-key or clicking on the stop button) or if the disk runs out of
space.
Parameters for Auto Save could be adjusted in the form Auto Save. You may start the form by clicking
on the checkbox “Show Form Auto Save” in the Recording Settings form.
The number of frames before the trigger point of time and the number of frames from the trigger point
of time on could be adjusted as well as the file name for the saved frames. The selected file name will
be extended by a time stamp, that holds the instant of time, when autosaving started:
Saving on disk:
After the recording into frame grabber stopped(-either trigger or key) the squence from the “Autosave”
form will be saved on disk. The name of the file, that contains the automatically saved frames, has the
following format:

The base name is declared in form Auto Save, e.g. in the screen shot above “auto”, the delimter is the
sign “_”, YYMMDD means year, month, day and HHMMSS means hour, minutes, seconds.
