Imaging Commands

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.

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 a trigger command is sent, 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.
