1. An imaging system comprising:
a first imager having a first field-of-view extending along a first imaging axis;
a second imager having a second field-of-view extending along a second imaging axis, the second imaging axis being offset from the first imaging axis; and
an aiming assembly configured to selectively output light having at least one of a first pattern or a second pattern, the light having the first pattern intersects the first imaging axis and the light having the second pattern intersects the second imaging axis,
the aiming assembly defining a first light pathway that is common to the light for the first pattern and the second pattern and defining second and third light pathways that are separate and distinct from each other, the light travels from the first light pathway along the second light pathway to selectively output the first pattern and travels from the first light pathway along the third light pathway to selectively output the second pattern.
