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.get_instance()
if reader != None:
    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])
        # add further process
    except BarcodeReaderError as e:
        print(e)
    reader.recycle_instance()

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.

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

        error = reader.set_mode_argument("BinarizationModes", 0, "EnableFillBinaryVacancy", "1")

        value = reader.get_mode_argument("BinarizationModes", 0, "EnableFillBinaryVacancy")
        print(value)
        # add further process
    except BarcodeReaderError as e:
        print(e)
    reader.recycle_instance()

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.get_instance()
if reader != None:
    settings = reader.get_runtime_settings()
    print(settings.barcode_format_ids)
    print(settings.expected_barcodes_count)
    # add further process
    reader.recycle_instance()

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.
