Direct Part Marking Applications
For  Data Matrix family codes the 
Decoding Complexity
 parameter is available 
when Processing Mode is set to Standard and selects the decoding algorithm 
based on the printing/marking technique used to create the symbol and on the 
overall printing/marking quality.
The possible selections pr
ogress from Low to Very High where Low can improve 
decoding time for good print/mark quality and/or relatively normal size codes. 
This is the default setting. Very High can improve the decode rate for low print/
mark quality and/or small size codes. This algorithm is much more aggressive 
but in general it may have longer decoding times than the lower complexity 
algorithms. To minimize decoding time it is better to select the lowest value that 
still guarantees good decoding.
For  QR codes the 
Decoding Method
 parameter allows the Dot Peen Decoding 
algorithm to be selected, which improves the decode rate for low quality Direct 
Part Mark codes and in general for Direct Part Mark codes with dot peening type 
module shapes.
