  • Page 53 Term used on the required CDRH warning labels to describe the laser exit window. ASTRA™ Automatically Switched Reading Area™ is a Datalogic technology based on a multi-laser architecture and a fixed mounted optic system which concentrates the multiple laser emissions in a single laser beam. As each laser emitter is focused on a specific range of the reading area, a sophisticated electronic controller selects the best focused laser emitter with respect to the code to read.
