 The code that acquires frames operates in a separate thread of execution (much like a separate program). Each thread (or program) on a computer has a priority. In fact, if you start the Windows task manager (right click the Task bar at the bottom of the screen) you'll see, under the processes tab, that you can view and set the "priority" of any program. Normal Priority is usually fine for most threads (and programs). The code that acquires frames operates in a separate thread of execution (much like a separate program).

 Use the browse button to select a good location in which to store your cen files. We highly recommend that you use a separate folder for each subject and for each session that the subject completes. The default path is the Capture2D™ application folder, which isn't writable on Windows 7 and isn't a smart place to store data (fix coming soon). The program will remember the previously selected a folder and will use this path the next time that Capture2D is opened from the desktop. If you open Capture2D through AMASS it will use the same file path that is being used by AMASS. Also be sure to give your files good names (i.e., cal.cen for calibration trial, jump.cen for a trial that involves jumping, etc.). Use the browse button to select a good location in which to store your cen files.
