CCD Camera Form Buttons Help

Buttons on left side

"shot" - take full frame, full resolution depth (12 bits).

"shot> 3D" - pass current image frame to the main 3D / 2D processing form. The image might be either Full Frame or ROI.

"Live on" - toggle live CCD camera operation ON and OFF.

"Colors" - This operation is only enabled in live mode. Use this to color the frame with Look Up Table (LUT) palette.

"Close" - Shot the camera OFF.
