- Last minute update to the DCFG V2.03 program. 8 Feb 1992
- by Michael Day
-
-
- I added some quick and dirty disk access code to the basic
- DCFG program to allow you to save and restore images to/from
- disk. It is rude and crude, but gets the job done.
- It can even save and restore movies!
-
- Someone needs to work on this to make it better. Please!
- For starters, make it more efficient. Only use the actual
- data that was collected rather than the whole mess.
-
- A compression scheme would be nice too. I did a PKARC
- compression on a 10 frame movie file which compressed the
- file from 155K down to 16K. So that could make a significant
- improvement.
-
- The commands for working with the disk stuff are
-
- F = save a single frame
- M = save continuous frames until a key is pressed
- R = reshow last frame(s) (useful for multiple frames)
- S = stop frame update (pause)
- 0-9 = show movie/frame by indicated number
-
-
- Only ten movie/frame files are currently allowed.
- Also, if you ask it to display a non-existing file,
- the program bombs you back to DOS. Hey, if you don't like
- it, fix it! I'm lazy, and this was a very quick hack job.
-
- I've also included sample captured frames so that you can
- see what the results look like before building the circuit.
- To see the pictures, load the program then press a number
- key (0 through 9).
-
- Note, when you display a movie/frame, the real-time update
- will be stopped until you press a key.
-
-
- Have fun!
