Claim:
1. A bar code reading device comprising: a CMOS image sensor array comprising a plurality of pixels in a two-dimensional array, wherein the CMOS image sensor array is operable, in a global shutter mode, to collect image data from a target, wherein, in the global shutter mode, all or substantially all of the plurality of pixels in the CMOS image sensor array are simultaneously exposed in response to an exposure control timing pulse so as to enable the collection of image data in the form of a one dimensional bar code and to enable the collection of image data in the form of a two dimensional bar code; a processor; at least one illumination light source configured to illuminate at least a portion of the target in response to an illumination control timing pulse, wherein the processor is configured to coordinate the exposure control timing pulse and the illumination control timing pulse, such that the illumination control timing pulse is transmitted to the at least one illumination light source as a result of the exposure control timing pulse; a non-transitory memory including computer program instructions configured to, when executed, cause the bar code reading device to:
