Read Cycle/Trigger
Chapter Contents
Read cycles and triggering modes are at the heart of bar code scanning. After you’ve
established communications and completed basic read rate testing, you will need to
address the spatial and timing parameters associated with your application. In a typi-
cal operation a bar coded item moves along a line past a scanner. A trigger or timer
activates a read cycle during which the scanner actively searches for symbols. You will
need to decide how to initiate the read cycle and how and when to end it. This section
addresses these issues.
Note: The characters NULL <> and , can only be entered through embedded menus,
not through ESP or serial commands.
Note: You can learn the current setting of any parameter by inserting a question
mark after the number, as in <K100?> To see all “K” commands, send <K?>.
