Imaging Commands

The imager can be used as a digital camera for capturing, manipulating, and transferring images.

Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent image capture. Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings. If you wish to change a default setting, you must use the serial default command (see Imaging Default Commands on page 12-23). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes the new default setting for the imager.

Image Snap - IMGSNP

An image is taken whenever the trigger is pressed, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. Image Snap is the command processor for image capture, or taking a picture.

The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the following command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound once the snap is complete:

IMGSNP Modifiers

P - Imaging Style: Sets the Image Snap style.

0P Decoding Style. This is similar to the current format for decoding, however, this processing allows a few frames to be taken until the exposure parameters are met. Then the last frame is available for further use.

1P Photo Style (default). This attempts to mimic a simple digital camera, and results in a visually optimized image.

2P Manual Style. This is an advanced style, and should not normally be used. It allows you the most freedom to set up the imager, and has no auto-exposure.

B - Beeper: Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.

0B No beep (default)

1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured, notifying the user that the imager can be moved.

E - Exposure: This allows you to set the exposure time. Units are 127 microseconds. Exposure is used in Manual Style only. (Default = 7874)

nE Range: 1 - 7874
