Acquire images from eSCL scanner synchronously

In This Topic

VintaSoft Twain .NET SDK allows to acquire images from eSCL image scanner synchronously (in a modal loop).

Here are steps, which should be done for synchronous acquisition of images from eSCL device:

Open eSCL device manager.
Open eSCL device.
Set the scanning settings.
Start the synchronous acquisition of images from eSCL device by calling EsclDevice.AcquireImageSync or EsclDevice.AcquireImageSyncAsFileStream method.
Break loop if EsclDevice.AcquireImageSync method returns null.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to synchronously acquire images from eSCL device and save acquired images to a PDF document:

/// <summary>
/// Synchronously acquire images from eSCL device.
/// </summary>
public void SynchronouslyAcquireImagesFromEsclDevice()
{
    // create eSCL device manager
    using (Vintasoft.EsclImageScanning.EsclDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.EsclImageScanning.EsclDeviceManager())
    {
        // open eSCL device manager
        deviceManager.Open();

        // wait while the eSCL device manager searches for eSCL devices
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(deviceManager.DeviceSearchTimeout);
        // get count of eSCL devices
        int deviceCount = deviceManager.Devices.Count;
        if (deviceCount == 0)
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Devices are not found.");
            return;
        }

        // select the first eSCL device
        Vintasoft.EsclImageScanning.EsclDevice device = deviceManager.Devices[0];

        // open eSCL device
        device.Open();

        int imageIndex = 0;
        Vintasoft.EsclImageScanning.EsclAcquiredImage acquiredImage = null;
        do
        {
            try
            {
                // acquire image from eSCL device
                acquiredImage = device.AcquireImageSync();
                // if image is received
                if (acquiredImage != null)
                {
                    imageIndex++;
                    string filename = string.Format("scannedImage-{0}.png", imageIndex);
                    if (System.IO.File.Exists(filename))
                        System.IO.File.Delete(filename);

                    acquiredImage.Save(filename);

                    System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Acquired image is saved to a file '{0}'.", filename));
                }
                // if image is not received
                else
                {
                    System.Console.WriteLine("Scan is completed.");
                    break;
                }
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Scan is failed: {0}", ex.Message));
                break;
            }
        }
        // while image is acquired
        while (acquiredImage != null);

        // close eSCL device
        device.Close();

        // close eSCL device manager
        deviceManager.Close();
    }

    System.Console.ReadLine();
