Send a Serial Trigger to the Reader

Sends a Serial Trigger to the camera.

Set Window of Interest

Allows you to define the Window of Interest directly in the Image Area interface.

Note: When using an SXGA reader with Auto Photometry enabled, the Window of Interest cannot be set to a width less than 640.

Auto Photometry On

Turns Auto Photometry on. The camera's Auto Photometry settings defined in the Acquire section of the Setup interface are applied to the image when Auto Photometry is on.

When the reader is in Triggered mode and Auto Photometry is on, the best Exposure and Gain settings are determined for the next captured image. Auto Photometry functions differently in Triggered mode than in Continuous mode or Presentation mode: when Auto Photometry is on in Triggered mode, it is only a one-time setting. Exposure and Gain are not adjusted dynamically with each trigger as they would be in Continuous mode or Presentation mode.

When the reader is in Continuous mode or Presentation mode and you click the Auto Photometry button, the reader maintains optimal self-adjusting photometry and focus parameters until you click the button again to turn Auto Photometry off. Symbol data is decoded and symbol information is transmitted repeatedly as long as the symbol is within the reader's field of view and read range.

Auto Photometry Off

Turns Auto Photometry off.

Autofocus On

Turns Autofocus on. The camera's Autofocus settings defined in the Acquire section of the Setup interface are applied to the image when Autofocus is on.

Train

Performs a full symbol calibration to find the best Focus, Exposure, and Gain, and saves relevant information regarding the decoded target symbol to allow greater decodability of similar symbols.

You will see the Determine parameter ranges... and Training Complete messages shown in the examples below during the Train operation.

Note: The Train operation will un-optimize the system once an image is processed, but you can optimize the system again after a Train operation.

1 Overview

Note: The Train button only appears in the Device Control Toolbar when the Read Cycle is configured to look for only 1 symbol.

When the Read Cycle is looking for 2 or more symbols, the Train button appears.

Optimize

Saves relevant information about the target symbol, allowing the subsequent symbols to be processed more quickly and consistently.

The reader has three optimization states: un-optimized, optimizing, and optimized.

When the reader is in the un-optimized state and the Optimize button is clicked, the reader enters the optimizing state until a symbol is decoded or until the Optimize button is clicked again to deactivate the optimizing state. When a symbol is decoded during the optimizing state, the reader enters the optimized state.

Note: A Train operation can reduce decode performance. It will un-optimize the system when an image is processed. You can re-optimize the system after a Train operation.
