Training Tools

Some FrontRunner™ tools, such as the Data Matrix tool, can be trained,
that is, told what to expect when reading. For example, if you train a Data
Matrix tool to read a Data Matrix with 8 rows and 32 columns, the Data
Matrix tool will fail when it tries to read something other than a Data Matrix
with 8 rows and 32 columns. Training the Data Matrix tool sets the
parameters of the tool to specific values. This generally enables the tool
to read a larger portion of a given population of a single type of Data
Matrix symbol more quickly and robustly by concentrating on symbols that
have specific parameter values. However, if the application requires
reading a wide variety of symbologies, it is necessary to run without
training.
For this tutorial, you saw a red Train button and red boxes in front of each
Data Matrix tool. Even though we didn't train the six Data Matrix tools,
they each read their respective Data Matrices without problems.
