Property
CCDCamera.SequenceBaseFilename (BSTR)
Syntax
CCDCamera.SequenceBaseFilename [= BSTR]
Remarks
Assigning a non-empty string to this property overrides the base file name and/or the destination path used by autosaves subsequently activated by StartSequence. If the supplied value contains no slashes or backslashes, it specifies a base name which overrides that saved as part of the autosave sequence definition. Otherwise, the part up to the final slash will override any Image Save Path set on the Expose tab, and the part after it is the base name. If either part is an empty string, the override is removed and the value in the sequence definition or user interface is used.
For example, setting SequenceBaseFilename to "C:\Temp\Dark" causes autosaved images to be saved in "C:\Temp\" with base file name "Dark".
When this property is retrieved, it returns both the destination path and the current base name, separated by a backslash. However, once StartSequence has been used to initiate a sequence, the result reflects the values actually used, even if one or both parts have not been overridden.
The new base file name and destination path take effect only when StartSequence starts the next autosave sequence. If one is currently running, it will continue to use the parameters in effect when it started.
