Read Rate
When in a read rate mode, the reader will output a number preceding the symbol
data. This number will represent either the number of decoded scans per second or
the percentage of successful decoder per total number of scans.
Make a note of the decode rate. It will be a useful reference when calculating the number
of decodes. (See
"Formulas for Number of Decodes"
on page A-20.)
Read Rate by ESP
You can access
Read Rate
from the
Utilities menu. To start or end a read rate test,
right-click
Read Rate
and select
Start
or
Stop
.

, then right-click and select
Decodes/Sec
.
Read Rate by Serial Command
Enter Single Symbol Decodes/Second Test
Sending
<C>
instructs the reader to transmit the decodes per second and symbol data
(if any). The decode rate can vary dramatically due to the angle and location of the
symbol in relation to the scan line. This test is very useful in aligning and positioning
the scanning device during installation.
Enter Single Symbol Percent Test
Sending
<Cp>
instructs the reader to transmit the percentage of decodes and any
scanned symbol data.
Extended Read Rate
Sending
<Ce>
instructs the reader to transmit the decodes per second along with the
transitions, scan position, and raster position.
Note: The
<Ce>
command has no immediate effect if not preceded by
<C>
or
<Cs>
.
End Read Rate Test
Sending
<J>
ends both the
Percent test and the Decodes/Second test for both single
and multi-symbol. Sending a
<J>
will end the read cycle.
