Page 7: Introduction
Introduction In-Sight 1010 The compact, stand-alone In-Sight 1010 vision sensor reads 2D matrix codes and 1D bar codes, and communicates the information to local and remote locations. Advanced recognition algorithms provide reliable reading of codes that have been poorly formed, degraded, or vary in position or orientation from part to part. -
