Re: Recording with the Camera

What motion screen capture utility would you recommend? Is the "image write" function something you need to write code for, or how would you do this? What do you mean by FTP? [Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this area, but any details would be great
I usually use Camstudio--it's free and gets a fairly good frame rate
"Image write" is one of the more obscure FRC vision functions that lets you store an Image object acquired from the camera to a file on flash(you can read more about it in the vision api docs)

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. which, as you might expect, is a system for transferring files between computers. the cRIO can act as an FTP server, meaning that it allows a remote computer to accsess it's internal flash memory. This means that if you use the image write function to record frames, you can use FTP to retrieve the images from the cRIO's memory and animate them.
