3. Basic operations
3-11.  Frame memories
Still images can be stored in the unit’s four internal frame memories for use.
The still images are transferred to the frame memories through the AUX bus and an SD memory card. 
Conversely, the images in the frame memories can be transferred to an SD memory card.
Images in the frame memories can be used as bus images by assigning FMEM1 to FMEM4 using the crosspoint 
assignment function.
Data for images stored in the frame memory can be retained even when the power is turned off, by saving them in 
the flash memory area built into the mainframe.
