Barcode Capture Settings

Defined in framework ScanditBarcodeCapture

SDCBarcodeCaptureSettings
@interface SDCBarcodeCaptureSettings : NSObject <NSCopying>

Added in version 6.0.0

Holds all the barcode recognition related settings, such as enabled symbologies and location selection. For the settings to take effect, they must be applied to a barcode capture instance using SDCBarcodeCapture.applySettings:completionHandler:.

By default, all types of barcodes (symbologies) are disabled. To scan barcodes, you need to manually enable all the symbologies you want to scan in your application.

The following lines of code show how to enable SDCSymbologyCode128 and apply the settings to barcode capture.

let settings = BarcodeCaptureSettings()
settings.set(symbology: .code128, enabled: true)
barcodeCapture.apply(settings, completionHandler: nil)
+ settings
+ (instancetype)settings

Added in version 6.0.0

Creates new default settings instance. Recognition is setup for recognizing codes in the full image. Symbologies are all disabled. Before passing the settings to the SDCBarcodeCapture instance, make sure to enable the symbologies required by your application.

- initWithCapturePresets:
- (instancetype)initWithCapturePresets:(SDCCapturePreset)capturePresets

Added in version 6.19.0

Constructs new barcode capture settings based on the provided presets, enabling relevant symbologies and optimizations. See SDCCapturePreset for more information on how to use capture presets.

- settingsForSymbology:
- (nonnull SDCSymbologySettings *)settingsForSymbology:(SDCSymbology)symbology

Added in version 6.0.0

Get SDCSymbologySettings specific for the given SDCSymbology.

Note that modifying the returned object doesn’t automatically apply the changes to SDCBarcodeCapture. After you made changes to the symbology settings, call SDCBarcodeCapture.applySettings:completionHandler: with these SDCBarcodeCaptureSettings to apply them.

- setValue:forProperty:
- (void)setValue:(id)value
     forProperty:(NSString *)property

Added in version 6.0.0

Sets a property to the provided value. Use this method to set properties that are not yet part of a stable API. Properties set through this method may or may not be used or change in a future release.

- valueForProperty:
- (nullable id)valueForProperty:(NSString *)property

Added in version 6.0.0

Retrieves the value of a previously set property. In case the property does not exist, -1 is returned.

codeDuplicateFilter
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSTimeInterval codeDuplicateFilter

Added in version 6.0.0

Determines the time interval in which codes with the same symbology/data are filtered out as duplicates. By default, when the same code (data, symbology) is scanned in consecutive frames, it is reported again as a new scan. Use this property to change the interval or completely turn off duplicate filtering:

  • Setting this property to value smaller than zero, means that the same code will not be reported again until the scanning has been stopped.

  • Setting this property to a value of zero means that the same code will be reported every time it is found.

  • Setting this property to a value larger than zero indicates the time that must pass between the same code to be reported again.

The filtering is reset any time the capture mode is disabled (SDCDataCaptureMode.enabled is set to false) as this is when the session is cleaned and restarts from zero.

enabledSymbologies
@property (nonatomic, nonnull, readonly) NSSet<NSNumber *> *enabledSymbologies

Added in version 6.0.0

Returns the set of enabled symbologies.

- setSymbology:enabled:
- (void)setSymbology:(SDCSymbology)symbology
             enabled:(BOOL)enabled

Added in version 6.0.0

Provides a convenient shortcut to enable/disable decoding of a particular symbology without having to go through SDCSymbologySettings.

Some 1d barcode symbologies allow you to encode variable-length data. By default, the Scandit Data Capture SDK only scans barcodes in a certain length range.

If your application requires scanning of one of these symbologies, and the length is falling outside the default range, you may need to adjust the active symbol counts for the symbology in addition to enabling it.

- enableSymbologies:
- (void)enableSymbologies:(nonnull NSSet<NSNumber *> *)symbologies

Added in version 6.0.0

Provides a convenient shortcut to enable decoding of particular symbologies without having to go through SDCSymbologySettings. By default, all symbologies are turned off and symbologies need to be explicitly enabled.

- enableSymbologiesForCompositeTypes:
- (void)enableSymbologiesForCompositeTypes:(SDCCompositeType)types

Added in version 6.6.0

Enables all symbologies needed for the given composite types. To enable composite codes scanning it is also needed to enable the composite types through enabledCompositeTypes. By default, all symbologies are turned off and symbologies need to be explicitly enabled.

enabledCompositeTypes
@property (nonatomic, assign) SDCCompositeType enabledCompositeTypes

Added in version 6.6.0

The enabled composite types. To enable composite codes scanning it is also needed to enable the symbologies that make up the specific type of composite code through enableSymbologiesForCompositeTypes:.

locationSelection
@property (nonatomic, strong, nullable) id<SDCLocationSelection> locationSelection

Added in version 6.0.0

Defines the strategy with which to select one out of many visible barcodes. See Location Selection Guide. By default, this property is nil and code selection is disabled.

- setArucoDictionary:
- (void)setArucoDictionary:(SDCArucoDictionary *)dictionary

Added in version 6.19.0

Sets the SDCArucoDictionary to be used while scanning ArUco codes. When the symbology is enabled the dictionary SDCArucoDictionaryPreset_5X5_1000 is loaded as default.

batterySavingMode
@property (nonatomic, assign) SDCBatterySavingMode batterySavingMode

Added in version 6.22.0

The battery saving mode to use with BarcodeCapture. Default to Off, optimized for the fastest scanning experience.
