AGC Sampling
6-8 MS-820 Industrial Bar Code Scanner User’s Manual
6–Scanner Setup
AGC Sampling
Disabled
Leading Edge
Continuous
Definition: AGC is the acronym for Automatic Gain Control. AGC increases the
depth of field by attempting to maintain signal strength at a constant
level regardless of the range of the bar code label.
AGC Sampling allows you to specify how automatic gain control sam-
pling will be done.
Serial Cmd: <KD gain,AGC sampling,AGC min,AGC max>
Default: Continuous
Options: 0 = Disabled 1 = Leading Edge 2 = Continuous
Definition: When AGC Sampling is set to Disabled, gain levels can only be man-
ually controlled by the Gain command.
Usage: Disabled is not recommended, but can be useful in certain applications
in which labels do not require a large depth of field.
Definition: Finds the leading edge of a symbol by looking for a 40 µs quiet zone fol-
lowed by the number of transitions, stores the highest value of the
samples, and adjusts the AGC accordingly at the end of the scan.
Usage: Leading Edge is rarely used, but in some cases can improve scan rates
when labels are skewed and the leading edge of a label is difficult to
locate.
Definition: Samples AGC throughout the scan at the rate averages the sample val-
ues, and adjusts the AGC value at the end of the scan.
Usage: Continuous is the default and the preferred mode for sampling analog
signal amplitude.
