It is as follows to sum up principle of work of the present utility model:
1, after the start, part of data acquisition enters waiting status (waiting for the appearance of external interrupt).At this moment, also do not begin data acquisition, program mask external interrupt INT1, promptly storage key is invalid.When not pressing the collection key, output terminal 3 ends of R-S trigger are high level.
2, press the collection key, 1 end of R-S trigger becomes 1 by 0, and output terminal 3 becomes 0 by 1, produces down and jumps the edge, causes external interrupt INT0.Following jumping is along producing, so need not pin the collection key always, clicking looses one's grip gets final product, and button is upspring automatically, and output becomes 1 by 0.
3, CPU response is interrupted, and starts the A/D conversion, begin to carry out once gather, the operation of processing and video data.Be finished, program activates external interrupt INT1, shows and can carry out storage operation.
4, if need to carry out storage operation, press storage key, cause external interrupt INT1, carry out the operation of storage, be finished program mask external interrupt INT1.
If do not carry out storage operation.Can proceed acquisition operations.
It is same priority that INT0 and INT1 are set in the program, means that collection and storage operation can not interrupt mutually.
It should be noted last that: above embodiment is the unrestricted the technical solution of the utility model in order to explanation only, although the utility model is had been described in detail with reference to the foregoing description, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that: still can make amendment or be equal to replacement the utility model, and not breaking away from any modification or partial replacement of spirit and scope of the present utility model, it all should be encompassed in the middle of the claim scope of the present utility model.
