gap
Summary: Specify period for timer based snapshots
Syntax: gap <time-interval>
Description: The gap command can be used to very roughly specify interval delay
between successive snapshots for timer-based image capture. <timer-
interval> is the interval specified in seconds ranging from 1 second to
16000 seconds (~4½ hours). If no image has been captured for <timer-
interval> seconds then an automatic snapshot will be performed.
Examples: gap 20
GAP 192
gap 2
#
Summary: comment
Syntax: # <comment-string>
Description: The # command can be used to insert comments into the BOOT.BAT
file without incurring syntax errors. <comment-string> is simply a line
of text which will be echoed to the debug console. The line must have
the „#‟ character as the first character on the line and is otherwise
ignored by the SenseCam command line parser.
Examples: # This is a plain old comment which will be ignored by the parser
# The next command is a comment too
# … just as the last line was a comment
trig
Summary: Set trigger mode
Syntax: trig <trigger-bitmask>
Description: The trig command can be used to specify the active trigger
mechanisms during SenseCam operation. This can be used to enable
or disable specific sensor input. The <trigger-bitmask> supplied must
be the inclusive OR of one or more of the following bits:
0x0002 Sensor-based (PIR, light & accelerometer) triggers
0x0100 Manual button-based trigger
0x0200 Timer-based trigger
0x0400 PIR trigger
0x0800 Light level trigger
0x1000 Accelerometer trigger
Note: if the „enable sensor based triggers‟ (0x0002) bit is not set then
the PIR, light level and accelerometer sensing trigger settings are
ignored and only the manual button and timer based trigger settings are
used.
Important: the bitmask parameter may be specified in decimal or
hexadecimal. For hexadecimal values it is important to prefix the
bitmask with the „0x‟ string.
