6.3 Data Transfer Modes
After each scan, the temperature values are transferred through the serial or the Ethernet interface to a computer.
This computer will require either DataTemp software or custom software for data analysis. The data transfer can
be achieved through one of two methods (selected by the user):
•
Snapshot mode (discontinuous mode): The lines are scanned at the set sampling rate and are
subsequently stored in the internal memory of the linescanner (capacity: 700 lines). After completing the
snapshot, all lines are transferred through the digital interface. When measuring discrete objects, it may be
advantageous to use the trigger input of the linescanner to initiate the image capture. The trigger signal can
be generated by a voltage/switch indicating the approach of an object from the production process into the
linescanner field-of-view, see section 5.10
•
Image mode (continuous mode): One line is scanned and transferred through the digital interface
immediately. The duration of the data transfer is determined by the maximum interface speed. These factors
determine whether every line is transferred.
6.4 Scanner as Stand-Alone Device
The scanner is equipped with internal sectors supporting three analog outputs and the alarm relay. To configure
the scanner as stand-alone device without having a computer software running follow the steps given below:
1.
Launch the DTDP Configurator.
Configure the scanner's standard settings like scan speed and pixel count.
2.
Configure the internal sectors on the Configurator's <Device Sector> page.
3.
4.
Please note, the software sectors under the <Sector> page are not supported with a scanner in the stand-
alone mode.
5.
The DTDP software sends a <PS> command automatically to the scanner if at least one scanner internal
sector is detected.
6.
Launch the DTDP software one times to transfer all the parameters into the scanner. Afterwards, the
DTDP software can be exit and the scanner runs as stand-alone device.
