  • Page 86 Environmental Parameters regard the device Identity and Position in a Network (Master/Slave RS232, MUX32, Ethernet) and are not influenced by the "Send Default Configuration" and "Send Configuration" commands. This allows individual devices to be configured differently without affecting their recognized position in the network. The following is a list of the Environmental Parameters: READING SYSTEM LAYOUT - Device Network Setting...

    MATRIX-2000™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8.4.4 Multi Image Acquisition Settings When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisition Settings (up to 10), can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings functions cyclically and therefore automatically improves system flexibility and readiness.

    SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8.4.6 Region Of Interest Windowing In order to satisfy very high throughput applications, higher frame rates can be achieved using the powerful Region Of Interest Windowing parameters in the Calibration parameter setup menu. Region Of Interest Windowing allows defining a region or window within the reader FOV. The Top, Bottom, Left and Right parameters allow to precisely define the image window to be processed, visualized and saved.

    8.4.7 Direct Part Marking Applications Decoding Method: Direct Marking For Data Matrix and QR code the Decoding Method parameter selects the decoding algorithm according to the printing/marking technique used to create the symbol and on the overall printing/marking quality. The Direct Marking selection improves the decode rate for low quality Direct Part Mark codes and in general for Direct Part Mark codes with dot peening type module shapes.
  • Page 95 Image Filter Sets the filter to be applied to the image before being processed. This parameter can be used to successfully decode particular ink-spread printed codes (ex. direct part mark codes). A different filter can be applied to each Image Acquisition Setting. The Erode Filter enlarges the image dark zones to increase readability.

    MAINTENANCE 9 MAINTENANCE 9.1 CLEANING Clean the reading window (see Figure A, 1) periodically for continued correct operation of the reader. Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance. Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments. Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.
