Capture properties

The Capture panel contains the following component sections.

Capture Info section

Property

Description

Capture Folder

Enter or browse to the location of the folder in which to store captured data.

Note: by default, at least two files are saved for each capture: the raw camera data (.x2d) and the motion capture file (.mcp)
Default: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\Evoke1.x\Captures

Capture Name

Enter a suitable name that will enable you to identify the capture. This forms the first part (root) of the capture name. If Auto-increment Name is selected (see below), Evoke automatically adds a numerical suffix to the root capture name for each subsequent capture, for example, Capture001, Capture002, Capture003, etc.
Note: If the Capture Name matches any file name within the Capture Folder, Evoke will not allow you to select Start Capture.
Default: Capture

Auto-increment Name

If selected, appends a number at the end of the root capture name for each capture in a sequence consisting of multiple captures.
Default: Selected
