Timeout

Usage:

Typically used with Serial Data or External Edge and Continuous Read 1 Output. It is effective in highly controlled applications when the maximum length of time between objects can be predicted. It assures that a read cycle ends before the next symbol appears, giving the system extra time to decode and transmit the data to the host.

Definition:

Timeout ends the read cycle, causing the reader to stop reading symbols and send the symbol data or No Read message when the time set in Timeout elapses (times out), if When to Output is set to End of Read Cycle. If in Continuous Read 1 Output, a timeout initiates a new read cycle and allows the same symbol to be read again. With External Edge, Serial Data, or Serial Data or External Edge enabled, a timeout ends the read cycle and symbol data or a No Read message is sent to the host. With External Level enabled, the read cycle does not end until the falling edge trigger occurs or a timeout occurs. The next read cycle does not begin until the next rising edge trigger.
