Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for sharing an image sensor data stream with an active alignment subsystem are provided. An example device includes an image sensor coupled to a first processor. The first processor is coupled to a multiplexer and the image sensor. The first processor is configured to receive an image stream from the image sensor, transmit the image stream to a second processor via the multiplexer operating in a first state, and transmit the image stream to at least one test port of the data capture device via the multiplexer operating in a second state. The multiplexer is configured to connect the second processor to the first processor when operating in the first state, and connect the at least one test port to the first processor when operating in the second state. Responsive to receiving an enable signal, the multiplexer operates in the second state, else the first state.
