Page 18 Types and Features of Measurement Methods The image read by the Camera is a 256-gradation image. This is converted to a binary image made up of black and white pixels. The F160 focusses on the white areas only and performs measurement.
Page 19 OCR for 1 Character Use an OCR for 1 character measurement to recognize alphanumeric charac- ters and special symbols. The F160 provides a dictionary, so no models need to be registered. The F160 recognizes two candidates, 1st candidate and 2nd candidate, from the dictionary, that are most similar to the character image in the measurement region.
Page 20 Section 1-2 Types and Features of Measurement Methods The F160 outputs the number of the index for the model that most resembles the image. If there is no model that resembles the image, NG is output. Once that data has been received by the external device, the product can be classi- fied at the next processing stage.
Page 21 Section 1-2 Types and Features of Measurement Methods The difference in density is compared, so there will be little influence on the measurement if the overall image is dark due to deteriorated lighting.

When the settings have been completed, it is useful to use Startup Mode when actually operating the F160. Startup Mode is used to set the startup conditions (display screen) when the F160 is next started. For example, set the F160 to start in Run Mode. This will allow measurements to be started immediately and will make day-to-day operations easier.
