Auto Save - Pco pixelfly usb User Manual

6.8.1 AUTO SAVE

Auto Save helps to save your recorded images or sequences in an
easy way. There is no need to save each image/sequence separately
from each connected camera. Therefore this function is very useful if
you use more than one camera. Once configured Auto Save allows
acquiring and saving as many images/sequences as you will need
during your experiment. This function can store RAW (e.g. TIFF) and
Export (e.g. AVI, JPG) files.
Standard file save see File Menu 6.9.2.
Explanations will be displayed in the Info Text window at the bottom
of the menu.
Enable Auto Save by clicking on the check box.
The text will change to Unconfigured! (red
background).
Right-click on the Unconfigured! field and click on
Configure 'Auto Save'.The Auto Save Options
dialog will be displayed.
First, configure the General Auto Save Settings - Global
Auto Save Mode: two different modes are available, Save manually
and Save unattendedly.
The Save manually mode allows to store RAW images and export
images after a recording session, when you hit the SHIFT and A
keys. This gives you the possibility to cut the image sequence in the
Recorder Toolbar before saving.
The Save unattendedly mode enables to download all RAW images
and to export the complete image sequences of all cameras
immediately after an active recording is stopped.
