An automatic data collection device is provided for reading barcodes, matrix codes, stacked codes, or other machine-readable symbol. The data collection device generates an aiming beam that serves a dual purpose of target locating and data acquisition, such as data acquisition using imaging methods. The aiming beam defines the field of view of the data collection device for imaging. The illumination pattern provided by the aiming beam for imaging can have its shape, size, and/or intensity adaptively changed depending on conditions.

Functional aiming system for an automatic data collection device, such as an image acquisition device

A selectively mountable optical assembly having an optics body, at least one optical element, and a mounting base. Coupling structure allows the optics body to be selectively coupled to the mounting base such that a flange on the optics body is selectively aligned with the mounting base when in an engaged position.

An optical assembly includes a first tubular member having a pitched bearing surface proximate one end; a second tubular member having a pitched bearing surface proximate one end; a coupling tubular member fixedly coupled to the second tubular member and rotatably and slideably coupled to the first tubular member; and an optical element received in at least one of the first, the second or the coupling tubular members. At least a portion of the pitched bearing surface of the first tubular member is in engaging contact with at least a portion of the pitched bearing surface of the second tubular member. Rotating the first tubular member with respect to the second tubular member smoothly varies a distance between the first and second tubular members and allows a large, smooth adjustment with little effort. Rotation in a single direction returns the distances to an initial starting point.

Method, apparatus, and article for adjusting optical device

An optoelectronic device for acquiring images of planes, such as bar codes, includes a deflector for deflecting an incident beam emitted by a light source such as an oscillating or rotating cyclic polygonial deflector or mirror. A driver osscilates or rotates the deflector in such a way that the incident beam describes, during each cycle, angular scanning adapted to generate at least one elementary scanning line on the plane. A closed loop control circuit controls the driver and is connected, on the one hand, to the clock in order to receive the transfer signal &PHgr; and, on the other hand, to the driver and adapted to synchronize the beginning of each scanning cycle in phase and frequency with the signal &PHgr; emitted by the clock.
