Camera Log Files

Each camera stores it's images in a single directory that includes a log file containing a line of information per image. Log files have the same prefix as the image files, but include 'lg' in their name.

An example line from a log would be:

  2095  14:40:13.050  1536  1024    10.000    2804

2095
The image number.
14:40:13.050
Trigger time (i.e. not frame exposure time)
1536
The width of the image.
1024
The height of the image.
10.000
The exposure time, ms (only relevant for standalone cameras).
2804
The quality value for the image.

Log files, and the corresponding images, can be viewed with the SST Browser program. Please see the Browser manual for details.
