Capturing the display presentation in a video file

The Screen Recording function allows you to record and save the echo presentation as a video file.

Before you start video recording you must specify where to save the files. Use the Screen Recording page to define where the video files are saved. This page is located in the Output dialog box. This dialog box is opened from the Operation menu.

Everything that happens in the presentation is recorded. This includes echoes, menus, dialog boxes and cursor movements. Each screen recording you make is saved in .mp4 format on the Processor Unit hard disk. The file name reflects the current date and time.

Note:

Video data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your Processor Unit is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage device.

Procedure

Observe Screen Recording on the top bar.
Select Screen Recording on the top bar to start the recording.
Select Screen Recording on the top bar one more time to stop the recording.
