Getting Started
Introduction
The 5X10/80 series of products is designed for integration into a wide range of
OEM devices. The engine’s compact mechanical design can drop into many
existing applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate
the benefits of image-based scanning into a variety of devices, including
handheld computers (PDTs), medical instrumentation, diagnostic equipment,
and robotics.
Two different decoding configurations provide OEMs the flexibility required to
address various application-specific needs. The 5X10, with linear and PDF417
decoding, delivers "laser-like" reading on linear codes, and point-and-shoot on
stacked codes. The 5X80 full-featured decoder incorporates Honeywell
comprehensive list of decoding capabilities. A Software Developers Kit provides
a simple software interface (APIs) to help ease integration. For software updates
