Programming Codes 7.17 OPERATING SETTINGS Imager mode 7.17.1 You can set the best reading performance of your VEGA by adjusting certain imager parameters. To choose the best reading performance, depends on the environment, your used application and type of bar codes. Area mode for decode 1D and 2D bar codes.
Scantech-ID VEGA Area Imager Scanning Triggering 7.17.2 <Level> A reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on) when beam is activated and stops when beam is deactivated. Continuous scanning When the scanner is turned on a continuous reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on).
Programming Codes Level + Flashing This mode allows you the switch between level and flashing mode. When the scanner is turned on it is in flashing mode (see flashing mode for explanation). You can automatically switch to level mode by activating the beam line. After a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the timeout the scan engine switches back to flashing mode.
Scantech-ID VEGA Area Imager Good Read Mode 7.17.4 When active, the scan engine stops the reading session after a successful decoding. - NOTE: this parameter is NOT used with continuous and continuous + flashing modes. <Active> Not Active Buzzer Beep Tone 7.17.5...
