Set Up Your Capture > Capture Options > Timer Setup > Capture Timer Options

Capture Timer Options

The Capture Timer options allow you to set the program to capture screens at predefined times. This is useful, for example, for batch processes that operate on a regular basis and for which screen shots are necessary. Select Tools > Timer Setup and the Timer Setup dialog box opens. To access the Capture Timer options, select the Capture Timer tab.

Note: In timed capture mode, the hide and repeat hotkeys operate. Input and Output options for Capture Timer captures must be set so that the captures can occur unattended. If SnagIt detects a combination of capture options that cannot be used, the status display will indicate "Timer unavailable" and the timer will not start.

Capture Timer Tab Options

The following table summarizes the description and use of each option on the Capture Timer tab.

Option	Description & Use
Enable Timer-Activated Capture	Select this option to enable timer-activated captures to begin after the next capture you perform.
Discard identical captures	Select this option to remove redundant captures (for example, when the screen does not change during some periods).
Frequency	Set the timed capture frequency in Hours, Minutes or Seconds (whole numbers only; no decimals). Hours, minutes and seconds cannot be combined (select one only).
OK	Select OK to save changes and exit this dialog box.
Cancel	Select Cancel to exit this dialog box without saving changes.
Apply	Select Apply to save changes without exiting the dialog box.
Help	Select Help to access help for these options.
