Initiating Calibration
Calibration Progress Output to Terminal
When initiated by serial command or EZ button, the autocalibration operation will output
progress and process information to a terminal if the system is configured to do so.
Terminal
Depending upon how the calibration options are configured, the autocalibration process
can have up to 5 steps (Quick Focus, Search Pass, Focus Pass, Medium Pass, Fine-Tune
Pass). Calibration data is shown in a simple table format under 8 category headings, each
of which are defined below.

Calibration Progress Output Examples (Terminal)
Quick Focus
This mode is only run if Quick Focus calibration mode is enabled. Quick Focus calibration
mode is designed to quickly locate the focus setting for an object at the center of the
imager's field of view. There is no terminal output for this operation.
Search Pass
The purpose of Search Pass is to decode a symbol in as few configurations as possible
during calibration. This process is designed to quickly identify symbology type, and any
image processing parameters that are already calibrated, as well as determining focus
position.
