Capture Mode - Microscan QX Hawk User Manual

Parameters

Capture Mode

Capture mode specifies how multiple captures are taken and managed throughout a read
cycle.
Rapid Capture
In a rapid capture mode one or multiple captures can taken at an interval specified by the
time delay between captures parameter. In this mode the only limiting time factor is the
integration and transfer timing.
Continuous Capture
In continuous capture mode captures are continually taken throughout the read cycle in a
multi-buffered format so that we start processing the first image while we are capturing the
second. Continuous capture mode will override the pre-processing field; this improves
performance in the multi-buffered format. This mode operation as laser scanners have
historically operated, with captures spanning the entire read cycle duration until an exit
condition occurs such as qualification or timeout.
Number of Captures
Specifies the number of captures to process in the rapid capture mode. This parameter is
used in conjunction with the time delay between captures parameters to specify the capture
sequence of a rapid capture read cycle.
Rapid Capture Mode
Timed Capture
Capture events are controlled by the timing values entered in the "Capture Time" command.
