Interleaved 2 of 5
Symbol Length #1 (Interleaved 2 of 5)
Usage: With Industrial 2/5, two symbol lengths can be defined. When using only
one symbol length in an application, setting Symbol Length #2 to 0
(zero) to ensure data integrity is recommended.
Definition: Specifies a number of characters that the reader will recognize, including
start and stop and check digit characters. The reader ignores any symbol
smaller than the specified length. Because Industrial 2/5 is a continuous
symbol, it is prone to substitution errors. Hence, a symbol length must be
defined and a bar symbol must contain an even number of digits.
Note: If Range Mode is set to Enable, the settings for Symbol Length
#1 and Symbol Length #2 will define the range of symbol lengths that
can be decoded.

Default: 6
Options: 0 to 32
Rules:
Both Symbol Length #1 and Symbol Length #2 must be sent at the
same time for the command to take effect.
To set for any length, Length #1 and Length #2 must both equal zero.
To set for minimum length, both Length #1 and Length #2 must be
equal to each other and be any number other than zero.
To set for a fixed length, Length #1 and Length #2 must not be equal
to each other and must both be greater than zero.
