4–Read Cycle/Trig-
New Trigger
Note: When New Trigger is enabled and if not in External Level mode, Laser On/
Off will have no effect. When noreads occur, the laser will remain on.
Timeout or New Trigger
Usage: Typically used with Serial or Edge and Continuous One.
It is effective in highly controlled applications when the maximum
length of time between objects can be predicted. It assures that a read
cycle ends before the next bar coded object appears, giving the system
extra time to decode and transmit the data to the host.
Definition: New Trigger ends the current read cycle and initiates a new one when
a new trigger occurs. New Trigger refers only to a “rising edge” trig-
ger.
With either External Edge, Serial, or Serial or Edge enabled, an
edge or serial trigger ends a read cycle and initiates the next read
cycle.
In the case of External Level, a falling edge trigger ends the read
cycle but the next read cycle does not begin until the occurrence of the
next rising edge trigger.
Usage: New Trigger is an effective way to end a read cycle when objects
move past the scanner at irregular intervals (not timing dependent).
Definition: Timeout or New Trigger
is identical to Timeout, except that a time-
out or a new trigger (whichever occurs first) ends the read cycle.
Usage: Useful in applications that require an alternative way to end the read
cycle. For example, if an assembly line should stop completely or the
intervals between objects are highly irregular.
