The viewing angle has a toler
ance of  1° depending on the reading distance.
FOV
x
 = 2 [ (d + d

) 
* 
tan (

where:
FOV
x
 = horizontal, vertical or diagonal FOV
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
