FOV CALCULATION
Use the data in the following table to calculate the FOV for your application, referring to
Figure 86 and the formula below.

7 mm F/4 11 mm 38° 29° 48° 40 mm
12 mm F/5 4 mm 24° 18° 30° 40 mm
The viewing angle has a tolerance of ± 1° depending on the reading distance.
FOVx = 2 [ (d + d0)

tan (ax/2) ]
where:
FOV
x
= horizontal, vertical or diagonal FOV
α
x
= horizontal, vertical or diagonal viewing angles.
d = reading distance (in mm) from window surface to code surface
d
0
= offset (in mm) from center of lens to external window surface
