Night Mode example
Tapping the Screenshot button will save an image of what you see displayed on the screen to the SD card inserted in MFD Touch. If the screenshot saves successfully, the LEDs will illuminate yellow in sequence from left to right (the progress of writing to the SD card). You will hear an audible confirmation notification when the screen capture is complete.
If MFD Touch was unsuccessful in saving the screenshot (if it did not have an inserted SD card or the card was full), it will display a NO SD CARD message at the top of the screen. The LEDs will flash red 2 times, and you will hear an audible error notification.
Ccaptured images will be saved as a 1.5 MB bitmap image, oriented at 90° to the original screen image, with the prefix 'screenshot'.
