The following diagram shows the functional principle and data flow of ibaCapture.

The plant or the process delivers various data.

• Measured data for ibaPDA (process signals)

• Image data from video cameras

Image data from video cameras is recorded by ibaCapture and saved in video directories. Measured data is saved by ibaPDA in measuring files (*.dat) as usual. Synchronization with ibaCapture Server takes place concurrently to the measurement by means of control and synchronization telegrams. This way a temporal relation between signal values and video data can be ensured.

ibaAnalyzer can access both measured data and video to display the information in a synchronized fashion. For analyzing and viewing recorded video in ibaAnalyzer, network access to the ibaCapture Server is required.
