data

FPS (max.)
Max possible frame rate
Shows the max achievable frame rate for the current shutter. This is more or less only a theoretical value because the real frame rate depends on camera, bandwidth and so on. On triggered cameras (e.g. TIS DMK*) the real frame rate will be determined by the fps setting.  If capture is started the current files size in MBytes will be shown.

FPS (curr.)
Current frame rate
The current frame rate. In FireCapture this frame rate depends heavily on computer power and the currently running pre-processing tasks. On slower computers you may try using the Boost function (see Settings) for increasing frame rate. 

Time / Buffer

Elapse time / Free buffers
Shows the elapsed time in seconds since capture has been started or if you're using the RAM buffer option the number of available free buffers.

Captured
Number of frames captures
Shows the number of frames captured since capture has been started.

Saved
Number of frames saved
Shows the number of frames saved to disk since capture has been started. Because saving runs in an own process this number may be out of sync with the number of captured frames especially on slow computers. To avoid running into out of memory you may tune performance like reducing preview framerate or increasing save thread priority using the Settings dialog.
