Instructions
-
Once the Save images and parameters option is enabled, the data will be automatically stored in the data folder in the project folder by default.
After enabling the Save images and parameters option, the software will check if the Procedure “Save Images and Step Parameters” exists in the project, and it is recommended to delete the Procedure and use the Data Storage feature instead.
You can also click
to specify another directory to store the data.
When errors of the E level occur in the project, the abnormal data will be stored in the error_data folder in the data folder.
For example, the figure below shows the directory structure and the names of stored files in the data folder. In this example project, the depth maps and 2D images have been obtained by the “Capture Images from Camera” Step. The names of image files are added with timestamps, which indicate the date and time of the day when the images are captured.
-
Click
in the Expiration section to set the retention time range for the data. Once the set number of days is exceeded, new data will overwrite earlier data.
