Capture Mode
Number of Captures
Note: When processing in Rapid Capture mode and Dual Capture mode, the number of
captures set for each camera will be limited by the number of captures set here. For example,
if Number Of Captures is set to 4, and the individual camera captures are set for 2 and 3
respectively, the last capture will be omitted.
Rapid Capture Mode
Definition:
Capture Mode relates to the way that multiple captures are processed by
the Quadrus EZ.
Serial Cmd: < K241,capture mode ,number of captures,rapid capture mode>
Default: Rapid Capture
Options: 0 = Rapid Capture 1 = Continuous Capture
Usage:
Used to increase the opportunities for good reads and to “extend” the field
of view in dynamic applications.
Definition:
Sets the total number of captures that are processed during a read cycle in
the Rapid Capture mode when Switching Mode is set to Number of
Captures.
Serial Cmd: < K241 ,capture mode, number of captures ,rapid capture mode>
Default: 8
Options: 0 to 8
Usage:
Rapid Capture is useful in fast moving applications in which symbols are
only in the field of view a short time or precise timing between captures is
relevant or when dual camera mode is enabled. A single capture with Last
Frame ending the read cycle is the same as “single shot.”
Definition:
In Rapid Capture, decoding occurs independent of and simultaneous with
capturing, thus allowing precise timing (
Diagram B ) or no delay ( Diagram
A ) at all between captures. The downside is that the number of captures is
limited to 8 so that processing buffers are not overloaded.
Serial Cmd: < K241, capture mode,number of captures, rapid capture mode >
Default: Timed Capture
Options: 0 = Timed Capture 1 = Triggered Capture
