4) Imager Field of View & Resolution
The LH2’s dual eld optical system may be modied based on your scanning environment.
The LH2’s mega pixel imager may be set to the following two modes:
SXGA Mode: In standard SXGA mode (default), the 1.3 Million Pixel imager is divided
into near eld and far eld decode zones. In each zone the resolution is 1024 x 640 pixels
(see gure 3.2). In this mode of operation, the highest resolution, and therefore, widest
working range on symbols of all densities is achieved. The trade-off is the amount of
time the reader spends processing the image. This time can be reduced by optimization
functions.
If only the near eld is used (small, high density symbols), the far eld image can be
ignored. If only the far eld is used (large, lower density symbols), the near eld can be
ignored. Further optimization may be obtained by “windowing” the eld to a smaller area.
Each focal area may be narrowed by enabling the windowing feature found in Appendix
A.
VGA Mode: In VGA mode (optional selection), the 1.3 Million Pixels are sampled on a 4-
to-1 basis. This greatly reduces the amount of time necessary for the transfer of the image
to the CPU and the resulting processing time (gure 3.3). The trade-off for this increased
speed is a reduction in resolution and working range.
NOTE: In the following section the LH2 can ONLY be programmed
by scanning the bar codes. For detail serial commands read the
Appendix A - Optimization Matrix section.
