AsyncMode Property

Applies To
Vision Sequence

Description
Defines whether to return from VRun command after exposure of the image and before sequence processing executes.

Usage

VGet  Sequence.AsyncMode, var
VSet  Sequence.AsyncMode, value

Sequence

Name of a sequence or string variable containing a sequence name.

var

Boolean variable that will contain the value of the property.

value

Boolean value or expression for the new value of the property.

Values

• 0 - False: Causes VRun to return after the image acquisition and the sequence processing is completed.
• -1 - True: Causes VRun to return after the image exposure is completed in the camera.

Default: True

Remarks
The AsyncMode property lets you choose whether VRun should return after acquiring the image and before sequence processing. When AsyncMode is "True", VRun acquires the image and returns to SPEL+. The sequence is then processed by the vision system. This may reduce the cycle time since it allows you to move the robot while the vision sequence is processing. If VRun, VGet, VSet, or any other vision commands are called for the same sequence, they will wait for the previous sequence to be processed before executing.
