However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout. 6.1 POINT-TO-POINT In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.2 PASS-THROUGH Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each reader transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host. When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 6.3 RS232 MASTER/SLAVE The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several readers to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 9 slaves connected together. The Slave readers use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each slave reader transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the Master.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.4 MULTIPLEXER Each reader is connected to a Multiplexer (for example MX4000) with the RS485 half-duplex main interface through a CBX connection box. Before proceeding with the connection it is necessary to select the MUX32 communication protocol and the multidrop address for each reader.
MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 6.5 ETHERNET CONNECTION (MATRIX-21XX MODELS ONLY) For Matrix-21XX models, the Ethernet connection is possible in two different layouts.

MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.2 MAXIMUM LINE SPEED CALCULATION The Exposure Time (or Shutter) parameter defines the time during which the image will be exposed to the reader sensor to be acquired. This parameter depends heavily on the environmental conditions (external lighting system, image contrast etc.). In general, a longer time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to the code movement; a shorter exposure time corresponds to a darker image.
READING FEATURES 7 The Internal Lighting Mode parameter allows to set the operating mode of the internal lighting system. The possible values are: • Disabled: the built-in LED array is turned off all the time. This option can be useful if using an external lighting system; • Always ON: the built-in LED array is turned on all the time at the lowest power level. This option is useful if the LED-array blinking (Strobed operating mode) disturbs the operator.

MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 8.4.4 Multi Image Acquisition Settings When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisition Settings (up to 10), can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings functions cyclically and therefore automatically improves system flexibility and readiness.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8.4.6 8 Region Of Interest Windowing In order to satisfy very high throughput applications, higher frame rates can be achieved using the powerful Region Of Interest Windowing parameters in the Calibration parameter setup menu. Region Of Interest Windowing allows defining a region or window within the reader FOV. The Top, Bottom, Left and Right parameters allow to precisely define the image window to be processed, visualized and saved.
MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 8.4.7 Direct Part Marking Applications Decoding Method: Direct Marking For Data Matrix and QR code the Decoding Method parameter selects the decoding algorithm according to the printing/marking technique used to create the symbol and on the overall printing/marking quality. The Direct Marking selection improves the decode rate for low quality Direct Part Mark codes and in general for Direct Part Mark codes with dot peening type module shapes.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 Image Filter Sets the filter to be applied to the image before being processed. This parameter can be used to successfully decode particular ink-spread printed codes (ex. direct part mark codes). A different filter can be applied to each Image Acquisition Setting. The Erode Filter enlarges the image dark zones to increase readability. Before - No Read After - Readable Erode The Dilate Filter enlarges the image white zones to increase readability.
MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 8.5 IMAGE CAPTURE AND DECODING By using the Capture Image and Decode Last Image functions from the VisiSet™ Main menu, you can get information about the image decodable codes in terms of Symbology, encoded Data, Position and Orientation, Decode Time and Code Quality Assessment Metrics.
