V440-F C-Mount Code Reader User Manual

The following four-step process determines the optimal lens focal length, field of view, and camera standoff to 
read the intended code successfully. 

Step 1: Determine the minimum element size of the code (usually expressed in mils).

For a 1D barcode, this is the size of the thinnest bar of the code. For a 2D code, this is the size of a single square 
element in the code. The element size is usually known by the customer.

Step 2: Use the guidelines below to determine the approximate PPE (Pixels Per Element) required to read 
the code successfully.
Pixels Per Element (PPE) 

is defined as the number of pixels that span the smallest feature of the code. A certain 

minimum number of pixels is required to read successfully. For 1D codes, PPE refers to the number of image 
pixels across the narrowest bar in the barcode. For 2D codes, PPE refers to the number of image pixels across a 
single cell within the 2D code.
The following are general guidelines for typical PPE requirements based on the code type and application. It is 
acceptable to have too many Pixels Per Element. It can however slow down the read time.

Step 3: Based on the suggested PPE from the above table, use the table below to determine the ideal 
field of view that delivers the required PPE.

The 

Readability Table

 below shows, for all common code sizes, the maximum field of view that will result in the 

required PPE. Results for
