1.3 Description of the BPS 8 functions
The BPS 8 uses visible red laser light to determine its position relative to the barcode tape.
This essentially takes place in three steps:
1. Reading a code on the barcode tape
2. Determining the position of the read code in the scanning area of the scanning beam
3. Calculating the position to within a millimetre using the code information and the code
position relative to the device's centre.
The position value is then output via the interface.
