Tuning
By tuning, your DataMan 260 reader automatically selects the best settings for the given reading situation, based on
parameters of illumination, camera and decoder properties, and focal distance. Tuning autodiscriminates all enabled
symbologies (both 1-D and 2-D). If multiple symbols are found in the field of view, tuning locks on the first one found. Use
this feature to create an optimum setting to read your codes.
