Read Rate

Read Rate Commands
Enter Decodes / Second Test
Sending <C> instructs the imager to transmit the decodes per second and symbol data
(if any). The decode rate can vary dramatically due to the angle and location of the symbol
in relation to the field of view. This test is very useful in aligning and positioning the imager
during setup.
Enter Decode Percent Test
Sending <Cp> instructs the imager to transmit the percentage of decodes and any
decoded symbol data.
End Decodes / Second and Decode Percent Tests
Sending <J> ends both the Percent test and the Decodes/Second test.
Read Rate Process
The read rate process is expected to operate very similar to a normal read cycle. The
differences are:
• The K222 "number of symbols" parameter does not take effect. Every unique decode is
recorded and output at the end of a read rate test cycle.
• The K221 "good decodes to read" parameter does not take effect. Only one decode is
required to be recorded and output.
• System time is recorded at the beginning and end of the test, and an exact number of
scan frames are captured and processed.
