# What are the trigger delay and timeout values?

In the Trigger Settings group, you can set the Delay Type to Time and specify the start and end of how many milliseconds to wait before starting an image acquisition once the reader receives a trigger. Using a delay can be useful when you know the reader receives a trigger before the symbol is completely under the field of view. Only the Single, Burst, and Continuous trigger types support a trigger delay.

Single and Burst modes have Start Delay Time, but no End Delay Time. Continuous mode has all delay types available.

The Timeout value specifies a fixed amount of time the reader will attempt to decode any symbol it detects. If the reader is unable to decode the symbol within this timeout period, it returns a NoRead status as if the image contained no detectable symbol. If no timeout is specified, the performance may suffer, as the reader will attempt to decode any code candidates in the current image before moving on to the next.
