Continuous Read 1 Output

Continuous Read 1 Output can be useful in applications where it is not feasible to use a trigger and all succeeding symbols contain different information. It is also effective in applications where the objects are presented by hand.

In Continuous Read 1 Output the imager self-triggers whenever it decodes a new symbol or a timeout occurs.

If End of Read Cycle Mode is set to Timeout and the symbol doesn't change, the output is repeated at the end of each timeout period. For example, if Timeout is set to one second, the imager sends the symbol data immediately and repeats the output at intervals of one second for as long as the symbol remains in the field of view.

If End of Read Cycle Mode is set to New Trigger, the imager will send the current symbol data immediately, but only once. A new symbol appearing in the imager's range will be read and sent immediately, provided it is not identical to the previous symbol.

Caution: In automated environments, Continuous Read 1 Output is not recommended because there is typically no reliable way to verify that a symbol was missed.

Note: If Trigger Mode is set to Continuous Read 1 Output, the imager will behave as if Number of Symbols were set to 1, regardless of the user-defined configuration.
