Trigger Mode

Continuous Read

Continuous Read is useful in testing symbol readability or scanner functions. It is not recommended for normal operations.

In Continuous Read, trigger input options are disabled, the scanner is always in the read cycle, and it will attempt to decode and transmit data for every symbol. If a single symbol stays within read range for multiple read cycles, its data will be transmitted repeatedly until it leaves the read range.

The scanner sends replies to serial commands that require responses when symbol data is transmitted, or read cycle timeout is enabled and a timeout occurs. Depending on the combination of enabled symbologies and the Threshold Mode setting, the scanner may take longer than the timeout to process symbol data.

Note: When to Output and No Read options have no affect on Continuous Read.
