I am finalising a translation into English on a computer-based event recording system. More than once I have come up against the term "bande graphique" and have changed my mind 4 times on how to translate this. Can someone make it up for me?
"Pour récupérer et analyser une bande graphique du système XXX, vous devez d'abord interroger le serveur XXX...
"Le fichier de la bande graphique" (they are recording incidents..)
Sorry not to have more to offer but the term crops up in laconic phrases of this type only and there are no images tol put me on the right track

strip chart
Well, it seems to me from your description as if this is literally a 'strip', and it is clearly some kind of graph, so maybe 'chart' would do?
This puts me in mind of the tachograph discs used in lorries, coaches etc., that similarly record (simplified!) data for the duration of a trip.
I hope that may be able to send your research of in the right direction, at least!

image file
Or possibly even just "video file".
It literally means "graphic track" or "graphic recording". I'm pretty certain that this term originally referred to the reel-to-reel films, where the pictures were on one reel and the sound on another ("soundtrack"), although now, obviously, it is all done digitally...

I have found "band chart" but am very suspicious. I have contacted the client but he is in Korea...
