Start Snapshot
Start snapshot is to be used in combination with the ‘Grab’ tool for image acquisition in
applications where speed is of great importance. Start snapshot indicates the start of a
block of instructions executed in parallel with the image acquisition. The ‘Grab’ tool con-
cludes the parallel processing and makes sure that both processes are completed before
execution of any step following ‘Grab’ starts. When using ‘Grab’ in combination with Start
snapshot, the
Destination bank
parameter is set in the Start snapshot tool and the pa-
rameter in the ‘Grab’ tool is simply ignored.
Note that the execution time of ‘Grab’ in run mode is longer than what is indicated in step
mode in the case where intermediate steps have shorter execution time than the time of
an image acquisition.
Input Parameters
01 = Destination bank
The image is placed in the image bank indicated by this
parameter sometime after the execution of Start snapshot
but before the execution of Grab has completed.
Returned Values
None
