Dual Camera Switching
Number of External Camera Captures
Rapid Capture Mode Examples
Since examples 1 and 2 are in Rapid Capture mode, the cameras will continue to switch
until the Number Of Captures setting has been met.
Example # 1
Time Between Captures = 0, Active camera: Dual
Capture mode: Rapid, Number of captures = 7
Number of internal camera captures = 5
Number of external camera captures = 3
Note: The third capture for the external camera does not occur because the total number of captures (7)
has been met.
Note: In this mode, the first capture from an external camera (#6 is the above example) could be delayed
for up to 33mS until the external camera synchronizes with the reader.
Example # 2
Time Between Captures = 0, Active Camera: Dual
Capture Mode: Rapid, Number of captures = 8
Number of internal camera captures = 2
Number of external camera captures = 3
Note: Since the total number of captures is greater than the combined number of captures of both cam-
eras, capture source will oscillate between the two cameras until the total number (8) has been met.
Usage:
Useful where two cameras can expect different symbols within a given read
cycle.
Definition:
The number of captures taken by the external camera before switching to
the external camera.
