Hi,

Did you try setting AIM_TYPE_PRESENTATION?  The MK500 has a sensor which detects movement, from the help file:

Symbol.Barcode Assembly > Symbol.Barcode Namespace : AIM_TYPE Enumeration

AIM_TYPE_PRESENTATION
Presentaion aim type; Appears idle until motion is detected in front of imager window at which time illumination is turned on along with the aiming pattern and a decode is attempted. Currently only the MK500 imager device supports this feature and works only when the soft trigger is enabled.
