Database Mode

Database Mode

Switch Mode
Definition: Selects the event that causes the reader to load the next database entry to
current, active settings. When Frame Count/Time expires and Image Process
Looping is enabled, the next database entry with modifications to camera
settings will be used.
Note: The image capture event always occurs when the first database entry
is used.
Note: The Switch Mode setting has no effect on Rapid Capture Mode,
which always operates in Number of Image Frames mode with a frame
count of 1.
Serial Cmd: <K256,switch mode,frame count/time,image process looping,image dimensions>
Default: 1
Options: 0 = Time
Time
When Switch Mode is set to Time, the reader will load the next database entry to current,
active settings after a predefined time interval. The timer will start upon use of a database
entry. If the timer expires during an image capture event, the timer will not start again until
that database entry has been incremented and the new database entry has been loaded
to current, active settings.
Number of Image Frames
When Switch Mode is set to Number of Image Frames, the database entry is incremented
after the predetermined number of image capture events has occurred.
Frame Count/Time
Definition: Indicates the Number of Image Frames that must be captured or the
amount of Time that must transpire before the reader will load the next
database index entry.

Default: 1 (frames/ms)
Options: 1 to 65535
