Honeywell MS5145 Eclipse - barcode scanner

Honeywell's MS5145 Eclipse is a low cost laser-based alternative to CCD scanners. Its compact form factor and high end feature set simplify its use in a variety of applications at the press of a button. Eclipse is a single-line hand-held laser scanner. Equipped with Honeywell's patented CodeGate technology Eclipse can be used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to easily target the desired bar code and complete data transmission with the press of a single button. This makes Eclipse a perfect selection for menu scanning point-of-sale document processing and inventory control. With Honeywell's state-of-the-art scanning technology the MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. CodeSense is a unique feature employed by Eclipse in the absence of infrared object detection. It provides the user with a pulsing laser line for bar code detection. When a bar code is detected the laser line switches to a constant state to allow for scanning via CodeGate.
