Save to CF/USB (Save to SD/USB)

Select the check box if you want to record images from a video camera and to external storage.

Save in

Select a location to save a movie file from [CF] (or [SD]), and [USB].

File Size

Specify the size of each movie file to be saved. The range is from 1 to 512MB. Any pictures that exceed the specified file size are automatically saved in the next file. The file uses the name based on the timestamp (year, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds) when the file is created.

Number of Files

Specify the number of video files to save in a folder. The settings range from 1 to 100.

User set string

Specify the character string to be included in the folder and file names for the saved video files. You can specify up to two single-byte alphanumeric characters.

Direct

Specify the string by entering it here.

Indirect

Specify the address used for saving the file and for specifying the strings as user set strings. You can change any file name on the connection device. Use a sequence of 3 Words from the specified address.

Turn ON bit 0 to save the codes in the following address as "user set string".

Save the string codes. The procedure for saving text codes differs depending on the connection devices.

Once Bit 0 in the [Control] Address is set to ON, Bit 0 in the [Status] Address is turned ON.
Specifying user set strings while saving to external storage will result in an error and bit 15 turning ON.

  • Bit 0 and bit 15 of the [Status] address are turned OFF when bit 0 of the [Control] address is turned OFF.

  • If a 32-bit device is specified, only the bottom 16 bits are used.

  • If you copy a value of system variable #H_LocalName to [User Set String] using D-Script and set [Control] ON, the folder of Display unit name will be created. When saving multiple Displays' videos, you can easily determine which Display's data is in a folder.

Control Word Address

Specify the address for controlling save operations. Use a sequence of 3 Words from the specified address.

Turn ON bit 0 to start monitoring. Turn OFF the bit to stop recording.
