About the Session Log
The session log dynamically records every action you perform in the Image Acquisition
Tool. The corresponding command-line functionality for actions on a videoinput object
or videosource object is reflected in the log. The title displays the name of the device, as
shown in the Hardware Browser.
You cannot directly edit in the Session Log pane. You can save the contents to a
MATLAB code file or copy it to another destination, and then edit the contents.
Each device format has its own session log, independent of any other formats. If you
switch to a different device or format, the contents of the session log will reflect the
currently selected device. If you switch back to a previous node in the Hardware
Browser, the session log for that device will remain in the same state it was in before
you switched nodes.
Saving the Session Log
To save the contents to a MATLAB code file:
1
Click the Save the current session log to a file button in the Session Log toolbar.
You can also right-click in the log pane and select Save.
