Quick Setup pane and again trigger the reader using the Trigger hotkey. Notice now
that all five codes are read (Fig. 20). Notice that on the Multicode tab that more than one type of
code can be decoded in the field of view at one time. Additionally the reporting of the read codes
can be sorted in different manners, including by type of code or by position (see bottom of Fig. 19).
That is the basics of tuning and the idea is that right out of the box, without much work or even much
understanding of the system, you can have the system optimized to read your codes. Now let’s look
at tuning in a bit more detail that can help customize the system according to your needs. The first
step will be to reset the reader configuration. This clears anything we have set previously that might
affect the next steps of the lab exercises. Start by clicking on the
System menu and then the Reset
Configuration button (Fig. 21); confirm the reset by clicking OK (Fig. 22).
