Imaging Commands
The imager can be used as a digital camera for capturing, manipulating,
and transferring images.
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to
the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent
image capture. Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its
imaging default settings. If you wish to change a default setting, you
must use the serial default command (see
Imaging Default
Commands on page 11-24). When the serial default command is used,
that selection becomes the new default setting for the imager.
Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken whenever the trigger of the imager is pressed, or when
the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. Image Snap is the
command processor for image capture, or taking a picture.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used
to change the look of the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with
numbers and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifi-
ers may be appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can
use the following command to snap an image, increase the gain, and
have the beeper sound once the snap is complete:
