Scanner portal application

This section explains how to use multiple optical readers to implement a scanner portal
application.
In a scanner portal application, there is a large field of view that is covered by several
individual readers. The fields of view of the readers overlap. To prevent the same code being
output more than once, the individual readers (slaves) send their read result to a master
reader. The master reader synchronizes the individual results and prevents the output of
