    • If you have calibrated the image and enable the Save Image Calibration checkbox, only the PNG - Portable Network format is available in the File Format list.
    • If you select AVI - AVI Movie File from the File Format list, select a filter and a frame rate for the movie.
    • If you select JP2 - JPEG 2000 File Format from the File Format list, enable the Lossless checkbox if you want lossless compression, and specify a compression ratio.

Tips  
  • You can save a collection of images using the All Images or From, To, Step options.
    • All Images saves each image in the Image Browser with the specified filename and a number describing its position in the Image Browser.
    • The From, To, Step option saves images starting with the From parameter and ending with the To parameter. Step specifies if you want to repetitively skip images in the Image Browser. For example, if you set From=2, To=10, and Step=2, Vision Assistant saves the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth images from the Image Browser.
