Read Cycle Setup
Read Cycle Setup
Setting up read cycle and triggering parameters will involve a series of decisions based on
your particular application, as follows:
1. Select the number of symbols to be read in a single cycle. The MS-4Xi can read multiple
symbols in a single image frame.
2. Decide on the trigger type to be used: if serial, choose a serial character; if external,
choose either Level or Edge .
3. Designate how the read cycle should end ( Timeout , New Trigger , Last Frame ).
4. Select Capture Mode , Continuous Mode , or Rapid Mode .
5. Select Number of Captures (if in Rapid Capture Mode ).
6. Set the Time Before First Capture and Time Between Captures , if any.
Note: The imager’s camera captures images at a rate of about 16/second (based on a
1280 x 1024 image). The capture rate increases as frame sizes decrease.
Note: If you need to set up your MS-4Xi for use with EZ Trax software, see Setting Up the
Imager for EZ Trax .
