Line scanner
Scanner which deflects its focused laser beam very quickly using a polygon mirror
wheel with mirrors parallel to the axis. This means that it creates a light point in the
reading level, which repeatedly runs on a straight line and is visible to the human eye as
a “static” scan line due to the relative inertia.
Line scanner with oscillating mirror
Line scanner which additionally deflects its laser beam at right angles to the scan direc‐
tion using an oscillating mirror on both sides of a central position. This means that the
device can also scan larger areas and room contents for bar codes. In this case, in
addition to the simple deflection with maximum oscillation amplitudes, adjustable func‐
tional processes of the oscillating mirror are also possible.
Master/slave configuration
Special arrangement and switching connection of several devices to a read station (e.g.,
multi-side reading) with the aid of the CAN interface. Using the master, the connection
to the host functions like a single device.
Multiple reading
Optional number of readings which must provide identical internal reading results for
one and the same bar code before the device issues the reading result.
Aperture angle α
Angle, within the limits of which the device (via the optics) can detect codes. In front of
the reading window a V-shaped area is formed in a radial manner at right angles to the
conveyor direction (reading from above), and the code to be read must be in this area.
Parameter value set
Data set, which is used to initialize and activate the implemented functions in the
device. This is transmitted from the device to the SOPAS ET configuration software or
vice versa using an upload (only all parameter values) or download.
Grid scanner
Scanner which deflects its focused laser beam very quickly using a polygon mirror
wheel with mirrors tilted against each other around the axis. This means that it creates
a quickly moving light point in the reading level in several rows one above the other. The
light point repeatedly moves in a straight line on each row. Several “static” scan lines
are visible to the human eye across all rows due to the relative inertia.
Send time
Output time of the reading result in relation to the start of the read cycle and the
assessment conditions that are met.
SMART620 decoder
Specially developed decoder for reading bar codes with poor or contaminated printing.
SOPAS ET
PC configuration software, can be run under Windows 2000, XP and Vista. Is used for
online communication with the device in the dialog (configuration, display of reading
results, diagnosis) and the prepared offline configuration of stand-alone devices or the
