Orientation Value

Usage:
Instructs the Imager to ignore symbols not in the specified orientation.
Definition:
Sets the orientation of the symbol, in degrees clockwise from the default 0 orientation.
For Data Matrix symbols, sets the finder "L" pattern, with the example to the right showing the default 0 orientation.
For QR Code, sets the locator pattern (three squares), with the example to the right showing the default 0 orientation.
The other position settings will rotate clockwise from the defaults.
Serial Cmd:
<K718,finder pattern status,symbol size mode,symbol size 1,symbol size 2,symbol size tolerance,dimension mode,dimension 1,dimension 2,dimension tolerance,orientation mode,orientation value>
Default:
0
Options:
0 to 359
   

Note: A symbol's orientation can miss the precise Orientation Value by several degrees and still be qualified. To be certain of the extent of the allowable tolerance, you should experiment with symbols in various orientations. In no case can they be more than 45° from the assigned orientation value and still be qualified.
