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!
