More Information
Summary:Devices, systems, and methods for providing illumination during operation of an indicia reader are described herein. An example system includes at least one imaging assembly; controller; and processor configured to: (a) initiate a ranging operation; (b) based on the ranging operation, determine a range value associated with a distance between the imaging assembly and an object in the field of view (FOV); (c) initiate a ramping operation comprising: (i) initiate a ramping sequence for the imaging assembly which captures plurality of images comprising image data of an environment appearing in the FOV using an associated plurality of focus parameters; and (ii) energizing an illumination assembly to provide illumination of the FOV during the ramping operation, the illumination intensity determined from the range value, the illumination intensity maintained substantially constant during at least a majority of the ramping operation; and (c) terminating the ramping operation based upon a termination signal.
