Frame Information

Output Frame Number

Disabled

When Output Frame Number is set to Disabled, the frame number is not output as part

of the symbol data.

Enabled

When Output Frame Number is set to Enabled, the number of the frame in which the

symbol was first decoded is attached to the symbol output information. The output format

is “Fnnn”, where “nnn” is a 3-digit decimal value from 0 to 255. The frame number rolls

over to 0 once it passes 255.

If this feature is enabled, the frame information will follow the symbol data, and it will pre-

cede any symbol quality data (if symbol quality settings are enabled-- see Symbol Quality

Separator on page 8-5). The symbol quality separator is located between the end of the

already-formatted data and the “F” that precedes the frame number.

Output Coordinates

Disabled

When Output Coordinates is set to Disabled, the coordinates are not output as part of

the symbol data.

Enabled

When Output Coordinates is set to Enabled, the four sets of object coordinates for the

first successfully decoded symbol are attached to the symbol data output in the following

format:

“(nnn,mmm)”, where “nnn” is a 3-digit X-coordinate and “mmm” is a 3-digit Y-coordinate.

The validation separator is located between the end of the already formatted data and the

first coordinate point. The point with the lowest X + Y sum will be output first, followed by

the next three points in a clockwise direction.

Example:

(032,040)(287,056)(287,279)(048,271)
