how is read rate calculated in Auto ID products?

[Omron Forums Support]

The scanner will sample a given number of decode attempts, then based on how many were successful, calculate the percentage that decodede. The sample rates are below. Laser scanners = 50 Imagers = 20 MS-880 / MS-890 = 100 MS-2 is a little different; there is no internal decode test. Instead, the scanner is put into continuous read, and the number of outputs is counted. The resulst are fairly unreliable, and can be changed by the number of characters in the code, and the baud rate.
