Read Cycle Setup

Read Cycle Setup

Setting up read cycle and triggering parameters will involve a series of decisions based on
your particular application, as follows:
1. Select the number of symbols to be read in a single cycle. The MS-4X can read multiple
symbols in a single image frame.
2. Decide on the trigger type to be used: if serial, choose a serial character; if external,
choose either Level or Edge.
3. Designate how the read cycle should end (Timeout, New Trigger, Last Frame).
4. Select Capture Mode, Continuous Mode, or Rapid Mode.
5. Select Number of Captures (if in Rapid Capture Mode).
6. Set the Time Before First Capture and Time Between Captures, if any.
Note: The imager's camera captures images at a rate of about 16/second (based on a
1280 x 1024 image). The capture rate increases as frame sizes decrease.
Note: If you need to set up your MS-4X for use with EZ Trax software, see
Imager for EZ Trax.
