12 Enclosure Specifications The imaging engine was specifically designed for integration into custom housings for OEM applications. The imaging engine’s performance will be adversely a ffected or permanently damaged when mounted in an unsuitable enclosure. Warning: The limited warranty (on page 49) is void if the following considerations are not [...]

13 Output Window Properties An improperly placed window has a serious potential to reduce the imaging engine’s performance. Careful consideration must be made when designing the out put window’s distance and angle relative to the imaging engine’s camera aperture. Follow these guidelines when designing the output window. • The output window [...]

14 Optical Clearance Specifications The window size and enclosure design must provide unobstructed cleara nce for the illumination and targeting areas shown below in figures 14 and 15 to avoid optical int erference that decreases the engine's performance. IS4910 Figure 14. IS4910 Optical Clearance Specifications IS4911 Figure 15. IS4911 Optica[...]

15 System Considerations In order to ensure proper operation of the decode engine’s electrical system; care must be taken to ensure the following requirements are met. Power Supply* The decode engine is powered from the host device via the VI N and GND pins of the ZIF connector on the decode board. This voltage must be maintained within the sp ec[...]

16 Theor y of Operation Overview The IS4920 decode imaging engine series is ideal for integration into dat a terminals and other small devices. The high-quality images produced by the imaging engine can be used for decoding bar codes, image upload, signature capture, document lifting and reading OCR fonts. The decode engine consists of two main sys[...]

17 Host Interface Signals The host interface signals are described in the table below. Pin# TTL RS232 USB Description 1 232INV NC Input: TTL RS232 polarity control with 32k ohm pull-up. Connect to ground for UART to UART signal polarity. Pull up to Vin for standard TTL RS232 polarity. 2 V in V in Power: Supply voltage input (3V to 5.5V) 3 GND GND G[...]

18 Since many host systems and applications have unique fo rmats and protocol requirements, the decode engin e supports a wide range of configurable features. These featu res may be selected by scanning a corresponding configuration bar code from the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or Area Imaging Bar code Supplemental Configuration Gui[...]

19 The nTrig signal not only wakes the engine up, but also immediately a ctivates and turns the engine into the Operating Mode. Either nWake or nTrig signals can be used to restart the TTL RS232 scanning engine when the engine is in Power-down Mode, which is indicated by the asserted (high) PWRDWN signal. The PWDWN pin is used to indicate when the [...]

20 Power Mode Descriptions Boot Mode The engine is booting up. PWRDWN Pin State: Asserted (HIGH). Transition to Boot Mode: • The TTL RS232 engine is turned to Boot Mode from Power Down Mode when the power is applied AND upon reception of the nTrig or nWake signals. • The USB engine enters Boot Mode upon completion of USB enumeration. • The en[...]

21 Sleep Mode The engine is sleeping, but is fully powered. The CPU is in sleep mode. The image sensor is in standby mode, the wakeup from the Sleep Mode requires the image sensor reprogramming (which is done automatically in the engine software). PWRDWN Pin State: De-asserted (LOW). Transition to Sleep Mode: • The engine is turned to Sleep Mode [...]

22 Serial Configuration The IS4920 series can be configured by scanning configuration bar code s † or by serial commands sent from the host device. With serial configuration, each comm and sent to the engine is the ASCII representation of each numeral in the configuration bar code (see Figure 19). The entire numeric string is framed with an ASCII[...]

23 Example 2: The following sample illustrates the serial command sequence for configuring the engine for the factory default settings, disabling Code 128 scanning, and ad ding a “G” as a configurable prefix. Commands for features that require sequences of multiple b ar codes for activation (i.e. prefixes, suffixes, and timeout features) should[...]

24 Operational T iming The following section describes the t iming associated with the various operating modes of the decode engine assembly including Power Up, Power Down, and Operating (from Idle or Sleep). The waveforms shown in this section assume VIN = 3.3V, nGoodRead pulled up with 10K resistor to VIN, and nBeeper pulled u p with 10K resistor[...]

25 The TTL version of the decode engine does not have an on b oard microcontroller to control the power to the decode platform and imaging engine. As such, the TTL version can only enter Boot Mode in response to signals from the host (nTrig or nWake). When VIN is initially applied with the nWake and nTrig signals held high, the unit will be in the [...]

26 Notes: In Figure 21 , the nGoodRead, nBeeper, and PWRDWN signals are high while in the Power Down Mode. The RTS Signal will be high in Power Down Mode regardless of the RTS polarity software configuration. Also, the RTS signal may have the incorrect polarity when the device first enters Boot Mode (Figure 23) or right before the unit enters Power[...]

27 Decode Timing Engine image acquisition or decoding can occur from either the Idle Mode or the Sleep Mode. The process is initiated by asserting the nTrig signal (or serial command when in the Idle Mode). Once the trigger signal is received, the image sensor is reset and image acquisition begins. During image acquisition, the illumination LEDs ar[...]
