Read Rate
By ESP
You can access Read Rate from the Utilities menu in the Read Rate tab.
To see the number of decodes per second, click the Decodes/sec radio button and click
the Start button.

To end a read rate routine, click the Stop button (same as the Start button).
Read Rate by Serial Command
Enter 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 field of view. This test is very useful in aligning and positioning the reader
during setup.
Enter Percent Test
Sending <Cp> instructs the reader to transmit the percentage of decodes and any read
symbol data.
Enable PDF Information
Sending <a1> will cause PDF417 data to be prefaced with information consisting of error
correction level (ECC Level n), number of rows (n Rows), number of columns
(n Columns), number of informative code words (n Info Code Words) and the number of
data characters (n Data Bytes).
This feature can be disabled by re-sending <a1> .
End Read Rate Test
Sending <J> ends both the Percent test and the Decodes/Second test.
