Test Read Rate

Step 8 — Test Read Rate

Read Rate

indicates the number of successful decodes per second achieved by the reader.

Test Read Rate by ESP

1. Click the

Test

button to start the Read Rate test and

Stop

to end it.

If a symbol has been successfully decoded, the symbol’s data and related features will

be presented in the field below the image display window. Also, while the symbol is

being inspected, the Read Rate LEDs will indicate the corresponding Read Rate

percentage on the back of the unit.

2. To end the test, click the

Stop

button.

Note:

Read Rate can also be tested using the

Read Rate

interface in

Utilities

Test Read Rate by Serial Command

You can also start a test with the

<C>

<Cp>

command and end it with the

<J>

command.
