The save_data_demo is intended for archiving frames. It provides a “passthrough” option that disables all processing in the acquisition mechanism; that is, packed data remains packed and TurboDrive encoded frames remained compressed. The program can also enable/disable TurboDrive compression and metadata.

When acquiring frames, the frame number is displayed in the console window.

The “@” command saves the next frame acquired to file, therefore this command should be followed by a snap [1-9] or continuous grab command [G] (when the grab is stopped using the [S] command, the first frame of the grab is saved).

The program saves frames and sequences using the custom “.gevbuf” format in the archive_data example directory; the filename is displayed in the console:

.

To save a sequence of frames, use the “C” command to start and stop the sequence capture. When a capture is started, frames will continue to be added (while starting/stopping acquisition) to the sequence until the capture is stopped.
