The 'Framegrabber' menu

The framegrabber menu is used for setting the data storage and greyscale histogram display parameters, and for grabbing a frame and creating an image file from the live image.

Clicking 'Display framebuffer' or 'Display histogram' under 'Configuration' will display the frame currently captured by the camera, or the histogram of that frame, respectively.

'Show framebuffer as:' allows the current frame to be shown either as a greyscale, false-color

or RGB image (only LOGLUX® i5 CL camera), but the image data are not manipulated. 'Grabbing mode' is only available with the

LOGLUX® i5 CL color version.

Under 'Grab image as:' the greyscale values of the grabbed frame can be choose between greyscale or bayer formated (colour) image datas.

'Grab image as:’ is only available with the

LOGLUX® i5 CL color version.

In 'Grabber setup' user can enter a time-out for image capture via framegrabber within milliseconds. This option is primarily important for controlled picture capturing via external triggering signal.

'Save as:' allows the user to save the live image as an image file or video sequence (button 'Image' or 'Sequence') to a data medium. When storing it as a video sequence, the user has the choice between a continuous stream of frames (option 'Continous Stream') or a given number of successive frames ('Sequence length'). In both cases, the file stream (AVI or raw data format) storage process can be cancelled by repeatedly clicking the 'Sequence' button which now reads ‚Stop‘.
