Basic Settings Methods

Method	Description
`set_mode_argument`	Sets the optional argument for a specified mode in Modes parameters.
`get_mode_argument`	Gets the optional argument for a specified mode in Modes parameters.
`get_runtime_settings`	Gets current runtime settings.
`update_runtime_settings`	Updates runtime settings with a given struct.
`reset_runtime_settings`	Resets all parameters to default values.

set_mode_argument

Sets the optional argument for a specified mode in Modes parameters.

BarcodeReader.set_mode_argument(modes_name, index, argument_name, argument_value)

Parameters

[in] modes_name <*str*> : The mode(s) parameter name to set argument.
[in] index <*int*> : The array index of modes parameter to indicate a specific mode.
[in] argument_name <*str*> : The name of the argument to set.
[in] argument_value <*str*> : The value of the argument to set.

Return Value

error <*tuple*> : error_code = error[0], error_message = error[1], if error_code != EnumErrorCode.DBR_OK, you can get the detailed error message by error_message.

Code Snippet

from dbr import *
reader = BarcodeReader()

settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
settings.binarization_modes[0] = EnumBinarizationMode.BM_LOCAL_BLOCK

try:
    reader.update_runtime_settings(settings)
    error = reader.set_mode_argument("BinarizationModes", 0, "EnableFillBinaryVacancy", "1")
    if error[0] != 0:
        print(error[1])
except BarcodeReaderError as e:
    print(e)

Remarks
Check the available modes and arguments below:

get_mode_argument

Gets argument value for the specified mode parameter.

BarcodeReader.get_mode_argument(modes_name, index, argument_name)

Parameters

[in] modes_name <*str*> : The mode(s) parameter name to get argument.
[in] index <*int*> : The array index of modes parameter to indicate a specific mode.
[in] argument_name <*str*> : The name of the argument to get.

Return Value

argument_value <*str*> : The value of the argument to get.

Exception

BarcodeReaderError : If error happens, this function will throw a BarcodeReaderError exception that can report the detailed error message.

Code Snippet

from dbr import *
reader = BarcodeReader()

settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
settings.binarization_modes[0] = EnumBinarizationMode.BM_LOCAL_BLOCK
try:
    reader.update_runtime_settings(settings)
    error = reader.set_mode_argument("BinarizationModes", 0, "EnableFillBinaryVacancy", "1")

    value = reader.get_mode_argument("BinarizationModes", 0, "EnableFillBinaryVacancy")
    print(value)
except BarcodeReaderError as e:
    print(e)

Remarks
Check the available modes and arguments below:

get_runtime_settings

Gets current settings and saves them into a PublicRuntimeSetting object.

BarcodeReader.get_runtime_settings()

Return Value

runtime_settings <*class PublicRuntimeSetting*> : a PublicRuntimeSetting object with the current runtime settings.

Code Snippet

from dbr import *
reader = BarcodeReader()

settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
print(settings.barcode_format_ids)
print(settings.expected_barcodes_count)

update_runtime_settings

Updates runtime settings with a given PublicRuntimeSetting object.

BarcodeReader.update_runtime_settings(settings)

Parameters

[in] settings <*class PublicRuntimeSetting*> : a PublicRuntimeSetting object.

Exception

BarcodeReaderError : If error happens, this function will throw a BarcodeReaderError exception that can report the detailed error message.

Code Snippet

from dbr import *
reader = BarcodeReader()

settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
settings.barcode_format_ids = EnumBarcodeFormat.BF_ONED
settings.expected_barcodes_count = 4
try:
    reader.update_runtime_settings(settings)
    changed_settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
    print(changed_settings.barcode_format_ids)
    print(changed_settings.expected_barcodes_count)
except BarcodeReaderError as e:
    print(e)

reset_runtime_settings

Resets all parameters to default values.

BarcodeReader.reset_runtime_settings() 

Code Snippet

from dbr import *
reader = BarcodeReader()

settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
settings.barcode_format_ids = EnumBarcodeFormat.BF_ONED
settings.expected_barcodes_count = 4
try:
    reader.update_runtime_settings(settings)
    changed_settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
    print(changed_settings.barcode_format_ids)
    print(changed_settings.expected_barcodes_count)

    reader.reset_runtime_settings()
    reset_settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
    print(reset_settings.barcode_format_ids)
