    9 READING FEATURES 9.1 FOCUS ADJUSTMENT The DS6300 provides a manual adjustment of the optics to optimize the reading performance by choosing the best focus between two extreme positions. The focus adjustment is continuous and not by step; thus, allowing an optimum adjustment around the selected position.
  • Page 96 DS6300 REFERENCE MANUAL Display Visualization The first line of the display shows the read code and Good Read percentage. Possible suspending commas at the end of the code mean that the code is too long to be displayed. The second line of the display indicates the value of the focus position according to the table below.

    When On-Line operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External Trigger/PS (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone. In the following case, the signal is passed to the DS6300 through the CBX100/CBX500, which also passes power to the system from the power supply (i.e. PWR-120).
  • Page 118 In this case no External Trigger is used and the CBX100/CBX500 only passes power to the reader. The DS6300 Fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet or Profibus) are connected to a remote Host. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or always be active if working in Automatic operating mode.
