1. A system for configuring one or more camera assemblies in a symbol decoding vision system that scans an object containing one or more symbols comprising:
a mobile device having a camera and a processor arranged to acquire an image of a symbol associated with the object and an image of features on a reference;
a decoder associated with the mobile device that decodes the symbol associated with the object to derive properties and identifies features in the reference to derive a relative resolution of the symbol associated with the object;
a resizing tool that allows a location and 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 approximate dimensions of the symbol associated with the object when located adjacent to the display screen; and
a mapping process that translates the dimensions of the image of the symbol associated with the object to physical dimensions.
