Calculation of the number of scans
The maximum possible number of scans for a bar code depends on the transporting speed
v.
Figures 10-3
and
display one calculation example each for the possible number of
scans at ladder and fencing positionings of the bar code bars.
Recommended minimum value n = 5
Specified values:
Number of scans n = ?
Transporting speed v = 1.5 m/s
Bar length l
S
= 20 mm
Scanning frequency f = 500 Hz
Coding 100 % readable

Recommended minimum value n = 5
Specified values:
Number of scans n = ?
Transporting speed v = 2 m/s
Code length with idle zone l
C
= 150 mm
Reading area height l
LH
= 400 mm
Scanning frequency f = 500 Hz
