Trigger Modes

The iVu BCR has four trigger modes that determine how the sensor captures and processes images:

External-Single

Continuous

External-Gated

Command

External-Single Mode

In External-Single mode, the sensor depends on an external trigger. For each trigger, the sensor captures an image and

executes one scan through the configured barcode types looking for the specified number of barcodes. This trigger mode

uses the Scan Time Limit parameter (Main Menu > Inspection > Scan Time Limit) to limit the amount of time the

sensor will attempt to scan for barcodes on an image.

Continuous Mode

In Continuous mode, the sensor uses internal timing to continuously capture images. For each captured image, the sensor

scans through the configured barcode types looking for the specified number of barcodes. If the specified number of

barcodes is found, a Read event occurs. If the specified number of barcodes is not found, the sensor captures another

image and repeats the scan. There are two parameters that are used to fine-tune how Continuous Scan mode operates:

Same Code Reject Time (set at the bottom of Main Menu > Imager > Trigger)—time in seconds that must

elapse before the scanner will report a previously scanned symbol again. A different symbol will be read

immediately.

Scan Time Limit (Main Menu > Inspection > Scan Time Limit)—limits the amount of time the sensor will

attempt to scan for barcodes on an image.

NOTE: A No Read condition will not occur in Continuous mode as another image capture and scan

automatically follows.

External-Gated Mode

External-Gated mode is similar to Continuous mode. While an external trigger input signal is active, the sensor continues

to capture images and run barcode scans until a successful Read occurs or the External Trigger input signal becomes

inactive. The External - Gated mode uses the Scan Time Limit parameter (Main Menu > Inspection > Scan Time Limit)

to limit the amount of time the sensor will attempt to decode barcodes on an image.

NOTE: A No Read condition will not occur in External - Gated mode while the external trigger is active.

Command Mode

In Command mode, the sensor captures images when Trigger commands are received. The sensor wil be receiving trigger

commands through the command channel.
