Elphel393 series cameras support recording in two modes: normal recording to a file system and fast recording to a raw disk or disk partition without any file system on it. ==Prerequisites== ==Prerequisites== -To record video to a brand new HDD it has to be partitioned and formatted first.+Disk should be prepared before it can be used in either of the two modes of recording. Normal recording assumes there is at least one partition with a file system. Follow [[HDD_Format | this guide]] from step 1 to step 4 to prepare a partition for normal recording if your disk is not partitioned yet. Fast recording mode requires at least one partition without file system. Follow [[HDD_Format | this guide]] from step 1 to step 3 to prepare such partition. As alternative, the whole disk can be used as a fast recording buffer and no actions with disk required in this case given that the disk in not partitioned. -To do so follow [[HDD_Format | this guide]] from Steps 1 - 4.+==Interface==  +===Main window===  +Open the following link in your browser to start ''camogmgui''  + http://192.168.0.9/camogmgui.php  +[[File:Camogmgui main.png|center|alt=Main window]]  +The main window of the program consists of several areas (marked in red on the image) and two of them, preview (1) and buffers usage (2), are folded by default. The third area displays a list of files recorded in normal mode to some directory on the mounted disk. This list is empty right after start and you need to press ''Reload'' button to refresh the list. ''Create folder'' button makes new subdirectory in the current directory and ''Set Target Folder'' sets selected directory as a location for recorded files. The group of tabs on the right side contains status information and controls for recording. The first tab of the group, ''Status'', shows status of all ports and some recording statistics. Some fields on this tab are empty right after start but they will be updated as soon as recording has started. By default, the update period during recording is one second. -Camogmgui will takes care of the remaining step 5 and 6 (mounting the HDD) itself.+===Preview===  +[[File:Camogmgui preview.png|center|alt=Preview panel]]  +The ''Live-Preview'' link opens a thumbnail of a captured image and some controls for preview capturing. Preview image can be updated manually each time the ''Update'' button is pressed or automatically within a predefined period of time if ''Auto Update'' check box is checked. The ''Size'' buttons allows you to adjust the image size. Preview is displayed for a single channel selected by ''Port'' radio buttons.  +   +===Buffers usage===  +[[File:Camogmgui buffers.png|center|alt=Buffers usage]]  +The ''Show Buffers'' link opens several bars indicating the usage of in-camera memory buffers. Each bar corresponds to a single sensor port and shows free space left in buffer and the space occupied by images which have not been recorded yet. The status of these bars is updated along with the content of the ''Status'' tab. Click on any bar to fold these indicators back to link. The ''HELP'' link below bars leads to this page.  +   +===File names tab===  +[[File:Camogmgui filenames.png|right|alt=File names tab]]  +The ''Filenames'' tab controls file naming scheme for recorded files. There are three schemes available:  +* Unix time stamps. The name of a file is created from image time stamp and channel number extracted from Exif. The example of such naming scheme is shown on the screenshot of main window. This is a default scheme.  +* Prompt user for file name after recording  +* Advanced naming scheme. This scheme assembles file names using several predefined fields.  +The settings on this tab are ineffective in fast recording mode.  +<br style="clear:both" />  +   +===Format tab===  +[[File:Camogmgui format norm.png|right|alt=Normal recording mode]]  +[[File:Camogmgui format fast.png|right|alt=Fast recording mode]]  +The ''Format'' tab controls recording mode and path for resulting files. The group of radio buttons named ''Format'' selects resulting file format. ''Use fast recording'' check box switches ''camogm'' to fast recording mode and disables ''Format'' and ''Directory'' settings because they are ineffective in this mode. The ''Directory'' text field sets full path to a directory where files are saved. Note, that this is a path in camera system, not on your PC. The ''Devices'' panel shows a list of disks or partitions available for recording. The contents of this panel depends on the mode of operation: in normal recording mode, the list of mountable partitions is shown, and in fast recording mode the list of partitions or disks without file system is presented. The group of controls below devices list allows you to enable or disable ''camogm'' debug output, save this output to a file and adjust its level of verbosity. Do not forget to press ''OK'' button before recording to apply the settings.  +<br style="clear:both" />  +   +===Advanced tab===  +[[File:Camogmgui advanced.png|right|alt=Advanced tab]]  +The ''Advanced'' tab controls how video files are recorded. The settings on this tab allows you to limit the size and duration of single video file. When either limit is reached, ''camogm'' starts recording to a new file. The settings on this tab are ineffective in fast recording mode.  +<br style="clear:both" /> ==Plans for Future Releases== ==Plans for Future Releases== Mikhail
