Important: The Quadrus EZ does not control the timing of external cameras. Captures
from external cameras are streamed into the Quadrus EZ. To be sure to receive a complete
first capture, allow an extra 33mS delay before the first external capture.
Usage:
External and Dual options are useful where in applications where the
reader cannot be located near the symbol or where both the internal and
external cameras are required for products such as circuit boards that might
have two symbols in different locations.
Definition:
The Quadrus EZ has its own internal camera complete with illumination and
led sensor circuitry for capturing static or moving symbols at various camera
settings including shutter, contrast, etc.
The Quadrus EZ can also accept images from a remote (external) camera
using the RS-170 communications protocol.
