Abstract

An data reader is disclosed that includes an imager switch that couples a plurality of imagers to a single imager interface of a processor. The imager switch includes a plurality of imager interfaces to couple to a plurality of imagers, a processor interface to couple to an imager interface of a processing device, switching logic, and detection logic. The switching logic receives input from the plurality of imager interfaces and forwards data received at a presently selected imager interface to the processor interface. The detection logic detects that a desired set of image data (e.g., a complete image frame or a portion of an image frame) is received at the presently selected imager interface and automatically, dynamically, and/or intelligently changes the presently selected imager interface of the image data switching logic from a first imager interface to a second imager interface.
