Claim 14:
15. A method for communicating at least one of updated configuration information and hardware setup recommendations for a symbol decoding vision system comprising the steps of:
acquiring an image of an object containing one or more symbols with a mobile device having a camera and a processor, arranged to acquire an image of a symbol associated with the object and to acquire an image of features on a reference, and an interface display screen that displays the image of the symbol associated with the object and allows manipulation of the symbol associated with the object;
decoding the symbol associated with the object to derive properties and identifying features on the reference to derive a relative resolution of the symbol associated with the object;
determining physical dimensions of the symbol associated with the object;
translating the information into configuration data;
resizing physical dimensions of the displayed image of the symbol associated with the object on the interface display screen so that the dimensions of the image of the symbol associated with the object can be set to an approximate dimensions of the symbol associated with the object when located adjacent to the display screen;
translating the dimensions of the image of the symbol associated with the object to physical dimensions; and
translating the physical dimensions into configuration data and transmitting the configuration data to the symbol decoding vision system.
