MS-860 Industrial Raster Reader User’s Manual
Scan Status
When enabled the location of the symbol within the scan line is appended to the symbol
data output, with a separator. The scan position is formatted with a leading identifier of
“
SP
” plus two zero-padded three digit numbers (corresponding to the first and last bar
of the symbol for most symbologies), separated by a colon in the form of:
SPXXX:YYY
The scan position values correspond to the configurable laser on/off position values in
the
<K700>
command.
XXX
is the position of the first bar of the symbol
YYY
is the position of the last bar, the ranges being 0 to 100.
Note: the scan width data is calculated from the beginning of the full scan width, not
the partial or auto-framed width.
Example
Assume a symbol with the data “HELLO” is read when its first bar is at 20% of the scan
width. The width of the symbol is 13% of the scan line
The data output would be “HELLO SP020:033” assuming no other outputs or formatting
is enabled.
Usage:
Locates the decoded symbol in the scan position.
Definition:
Locates the decoded symbol in the scan position
(SP).
The scan position is a 3-digit number from 0 to
100 indicating the nearest point from the upper
or lower extremity of the symbol to the nearest
edge of the entire scan width.
