1. A method for operating a fixed industrial scanner system, the fixed industrial scanner system including a computing device executing an application and an imaging device communicatively coupled to the computing device, the method comprising:
configuring, via the application, a machine vision job, the configuring the machine vision job including configuring a barcode reading tool, the configuring the barcode reading tool including setting a plurality of banks of imaging parameters, each of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters being different from each other of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters;
transmitting, from the computing device to the imaging device, the machine vision job; and
executing the machine vision job on the imaging device, wherein, during an execution of the barcode reading tool, the machine vision job causes the imaging device to:
(a) capture an image with the imaging device operating pursuant to one of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters;
(b) attempt to decode a barcode within the image;
(c) responsive to successfully decoding the barcode within the image, successfully ending the barcode reader tool; and
(d) responsive to unsuccessfully decoding the barcode within the image, repeating (a)-(d) with another one of the one of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters,
wherein successfully decoding the barcode within the image includes decoding the barcode with a barcode quality metric (BQM) greater than a threshold BQM, and wherein unsuccessfully decoding the barcode within the image includes decoding the barcode with a BQM below the threshold BQM.
