  • Page 104 Read Cycle Continuous Read 1 Output Usage: Continuous Read 1 Output can be useful in applications where it is not feasible to use a trigger and all succeeding symbols contain different information. It is also effective in applications where the objects are presented by hand.
  • Page 105 Trigger Mode and Filter Duration External Level Initiate Read Cycle: Object #1, moving in front of the detector beam, causes a change in the trigger state, which initiates the read cycle. End Read Cycle: The same object, moving out of the detector beam, causes another change in the trigger state, which ends the read cycle.
  • Page 106 Read Cycle Serial Data Usage: Serial Data is effective in a highly controlled environment where the host knows precisely when the object is in the field of view. It is also useful in determining if a No-Read has occurred. Definition: In Serial Data, the reader accepts an ASCII character from the host or controlling device as a trigger to start a read cycle.
  • Page 107 Trigger Mode and Filter Duration Leading Edge Trigger Filter Usage: Used to ignore spurious triggers when Trigger Mode is set to External Edge or External Level. Definition: To consider a change in state on the trigger input, the level must be stable for the trigger filter duration.

  • Page 110: Start Trigger Character (Non-Delimited)

    Read Cycle Start Trigger Character (Non-Delimited) Usage: Useful in applications where different characters are required to start a read cycle. Definition: A single ASCII host serial trigger character that starts the read cycle and is not enclosed by delimiters such as < and >. Non-delimited Start characters can be defined and will function according to the trigger event.

  • Page 111: Stop Trigger Character (Non-Delimited)

    Stop Trigger Character (Non-Delimited) Stop Trigger Character (Non-Delimited) Usage: Useful in applications where different characters are required to end a read cycle. Definition: A single ASCII host serial trigger character that ends the read cycle and is not enclosed by delimiters such as < and >. Non-delimited Stop characters can be defined and will function according to the trigger event.

  • Page 112: End Of Read Cycle

    Read Cycle End of Read Cycle Definition: The read cycle is the time during which the reader will attempt to capture and decode a symbol. A read cycle can be ended by a timeout, a new trigger, or by the last frame in a capture sequence or a combination of the above.
  • Page 113 End of Read Cycle New Trigger Usage: New Trigger is an effective way to end a read cycle when objects move past the reader at irregular intervals (not timing-dependent). Definition: New Trigger ends the current read cycle and initiates a new one when a new trigger occurs.

  • Page 114: Capture Mode

    Read Cycle Capture Mode Definition: Capture Mode relates to the way that images are captured and processed. <K241,capture mode,number of captures,rapid capture mode,number of Serial Cmd: continuous captures,images per read cycle limit,read cycle history> Default: Continuous Capture Options: 0 = Rapid Capture 1 = Continuous Capture Rapid Capture Definition:...
  • Page 115 Capture Mode Number of Captures Usage: Number of Captures is used to specify the number of captures to be processed in Rapid Capture Mode. Definition: Sets the total number of captures that are processed during a read cycle in Rapid Capture Mode. This feature is used in conjunction with Capture Timing parameters to specify the capture sequence of a rapid capture read cycle.
  • Page 116 Read Cycle Timed Capture Usage: Timed Rapid Capture is useful in fast-moving applications in which symbols are only in the field of view for a short time and precise timing is required. Definition: In Timed Rapid Capture, decoding occurs independent of and simultaneous with capturing, thus allowing precise timing or no delay at all between captures.
  • Page 117 Capture Mode Triggered Capture Usage: Useful in applications where each decode must be treated as a discrete event, regardless of symbol data. Definition: The first trigger event starts the read cycle, and subsequent triggers will continue until the predetermined Number of Captures is met, or until the predetermined End of Read Cycle condition is met-- whichever occurs first.
  • Page 118 Read Cycle Number of Continuous Captures Definition: Specifies the number of captures to process in Continuous Capture mode. Serial Cmd: <K241,capture mode,number of captures,rapid capture mode,number of continuous captures,images per read cycle limit,read cycle history> Default: Options: 1 and 255 Images per Read Cycle Limit Definition: Specifies the number of captures to process in a read cycle.

  • Page 119: Capture Timing

    Capture Timing Capture Timing Note: Capture Timing applies only to Rapid Capture Mode. Time Before First Capture Usage: In almost any moving line application, a time delay is needed to ensure that a symbol will be in the reader’s field of view at the beginning of the capture sequence.
  • Page 120 Read Cycle Time Between Captures Usage: This is useful in applications where more than one symbol can appear during a single read cycle (multisymbol), or where line speeds are slow enough that captured frames might overlap or miss a symbol. Definition: A time delay can be inserted between individual frame captures in Rapid Capture Mode.

  • Page 121: Image Processing Timeout

    Image Processing Timeout Image Processing Timeout Usage: Useful in higher speed applications where image processing time is long enough that not all captures have an opportunity to be processed. Definition: Specifies the maximum amount of time to process a captured image. When the timeout expires, the image processing is aborted.

  • Page 122: Image Storage

    Read Cycle Image Storage Image Storage Type Definition: Allows the user to store images from separate read cycles and to retrieve them later. The number of available slots for storage depends on the mode of operation. If the reader is in Rapid Capture Mode, the number of images that can be stored is equivalent to the maximum number of the rapid count (the current rapid count setting).
  • Page 123 Image Storage Image Storage Example The following example assumes that the reader is in a rapid capture mode of 3 captures. Number of Symbols: Frame # 1: No-Read Frame # 2: No-Read Frame # 3: Good Read, Symbol # 1 Read Cycle Result: Good Read Stored Frame:...

  • Page 293: Dynamic Setup

    Dynamic Setup Dynamic Setup Dynamic Setup is used to calculate image capture timing during a read cycle. Without proper timing, the reader will not be able to decode all symbols in a read cycle. An external trigger is used to activate image captures so the user can make timing adjustments as capture events occur.

  • Page 294: Pixel Binning

    Camera and IP Setup Pixel Binning Definition: In addition to windowing the image sensor, smaller resolutions can be obtained by down sampling the entire captured image by using pixel binning. Pixel binning can increase the signal to noise ratio and produce a more pleasing output image with reduced artifacts.

  • Page 295: Camera Settings

    Camera Settings Camera Settings Camera Settings are typically obtained during the calibration process, and do not necessarily need to be modified directly by the user. QSXGA, SXGA, and WVGA Exposure Usage: Faster exposures reduce blurring in faster applications. Slower exposures are useful in slower applications and lower contrast applications.
