Trigger
Continuous Read 1 Output
Caution: In automated environments, Continuous Read 1 Output is not recommended
because there is no one to verify that a symbol was missed.
Note: If Trigger Mode is set to Continuous Read 1 Output, Number of Symbols will
default to 1 (if set to any number greater than 1).
Usage:
Continuous Read 1 Output can be useful in applications where it is not
feasible to use a trigger and all symbols contain different information. It is
also effective in applications where the objects are presented by hand.
Definition:
In Continuous Read 1 Output the reader self-triggers whenever it
decodes a new symbol or a timeout occurs.
If End Of Read Cycle is set to Timeout and the symbol doesn't change,
the output is repeated at the end of each timeout period. For example, if
Timeout is set to one second, the reader sends the symbol data immediately
and repeats the output at intervals of one second for as long as the symbol
continues to be captured.
If End Of Read Cycle is set to New Trigger, the reader will send the current
symbol data immediately, but send it only once. A new symbol appearing in
the reader’s range will be read and sent immediately provided it is not
identical to the previous symbol read.
