Aimer Delay
The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the
imager before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time
between when the trigger is activated and when the picture is taken.
During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but the LEDs
won’t turn on until the delay time is over.
User-Specified Aimer Delay
If you want to set your own length for the duration of the delay,
scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (0
- 4,000 ms) from the back cover of this manual, then scan Save.
Aimer Modes
Interlaced, the illumination and aiming timing is automatically
synchronized to the imager exposure period by the Image Engine.
The engine turns illumination on while the image is being exposed,
and it turns the aiming off at all other times. The interlaced mode
provides the lowest overall current draw and is recommended for
most applications. It also provides the brightest aimer in most
applications. The Image Engine software automatically maintains
an approximate 25% aimer duty cycle, even when the imager
exposure time is at its maximum in dark operating environments.
Concurrent is provided for backwards compatibility with the
4X00 Image Engine series, and is not recommended for most
applications. In concurrent mode, the illumination LEDs are on
continuously, while the aimer LEDs turn off during the imager
exposure period, and on while the imager is not exposing.
Concurrent mode is used to eliminate any flicker of the
illumination LEDs that may be objectionable to the user,
especially when running the engine at 12 MHz. The illumination
LED current is reduced compared to interlaced mode to limit
engine peak current. The image engine software automatically
maintains an approximate 25% aimer duty cycle, even when the
imager exposure time is at its maximum in dark operating
