Symbol Position Output
The location and in some cases the size of a decoded symbol can be determined
dynamically. When enabled, raster height and scan locations relative to the reader are
calculated and appended to the symbol data output. In most linear symbologies, the
actual width of the symbol is added to the scan line location.
Raster Status
When enabled the location of the symbol within the raster pattern is appended to the
symbol data output, with a separator. The raster position is formatted with a leading
identifier of “
RP
” and the number is a zero padded 3 digit number in the form of
RPXXX
.
The raster location value corresponds to the configurable raster offsets in the
<K506>
command in
"Raster Setup"
on page 8-3.
Example
For example, assume a symbol with the data “HELLO” is read when the raster is at an
offset of 053, and the separator is set as a space.
The data output would be “HELLO RP053” assuming no other outputs or formatting is
enabled.
Usage:
Locates the decoded symbol in the raster position.
Definition:
Locates the decoded symbol in the
raster position (RP).
The raster position is a 3-digit
number from 0 to 255 indicating
the height of the raster line with 0
at the top when the reader is in
the upright position as shown
here.
