    Plus BCR User's Manual Output 1 Main Menu > System > Discrete I/O > Output 1 Output 1 can be configured for Pass, Fail, Read, No Read, Match, No Match, Missed Trigger, or System Error. • A Read condition is when the configured number of barcodes are found in a scan. These barcodes must be error- free.

  • Page 29: Reboot Sensor

    Plus BCR User's Manual Fail Hold Time Main Menu > System > Display Settings > Fail Hold Time The Fail Hold Time determines how long a failed image is displayed on the LCD so that you can see what failed. The sensor will continue to process any triggers and the inspection will continue normally.

  • Page 30: Imager Menu

    The Firmware Update screen is used to load the latest sensor firmware. The Firmware Update screen lists the firmware versions it finds in the BANNER\FIRMWARE folder on the USB flash drive. When you receive a firmware update from Banner Engineering, be sure to put it in the BANNER\FIRMWARE folder on the USB flash drive.

  • Page 31: Gain

    Plus BCR User's Manual 3.3.3 Gain Main Menu > Imager > Gain Gain is an electronic boost to the image signal. Increasing Gain by using the '-' and '+' keys or moving the slider to the right increases image brightness without increasing exposure time. Note that Gain brightens both the light pixels and dark pixels and may reduce the image quality.
  • Page 32 Plus BCR User's Manual Continuous Mode In Continuous mode, the sensor uses internal timing to continuously capture images. For each captured image, the sensor scans through the configured barcode types looking for the specified number of barcodes. If the specified number of barcodes is found, a Read event occurs.

  • Page 33: Focus

    Plus BCR User's Manual NOTE: A No Read condition will not occur in External - Gated mode while the external trigger is active. Command Mode In Command mode, the sensor captures images when Trigger commands are received. The various trigger command modes described above can also be set through a command channel.

The Inspection Menu provides options to set inspection parameters on currently running inspection and manage stored inspections.
  • Page 37 Plus BCR User's Manual DataMatrix Settings Decoder Mode The Decoder Mode determines which decode algorithm to use and how imperfections in barcode images are handled. When you select Fast from the drop-down list, the sensor uses an algorithm that is tailored for speed. The algorithm does NOT correct for barcode image imperfections.
  • Page 38 Plus BCR User's Manual Use filters to improve decode rates in conditions in which the barcodes are blurred or have nonuniform module sizes. Select one or more Out‐of‐focus filters to improve the decode rate of out‐of-focus barcodes. Select the Non Uniform filter to improve the decode rate of barcodes with non‐uniformly sized data modules.
  • Page 39 Plus BCR User's Manual Checksum Verify When checksum is enabled, the sensor uses a checksum to verify the integrity of the barcode being read. Relaxed Quietzone The Quietzone is a blank margin on either side of a barcode that indicates where the barcode begins and ends. If this Quietzone isn't big enough, the sensor can have trouble decoding the barcode.
  • Page 40 Plus BCR User's Manual Relaxed Quietzone The Quietzone is a blank margin on either side of a barcode that indicates where the barcode begins and ends. If this Quietzone isn't big enough, the sensor can have trouble decoding the barcode. Enabling Relaxed Quietzone creates a greater tolerance with respect to the quiet zone required before and after the barcode.
  • Page 41 Plus BCR User's Manual Compare Data The Compare Data screen allows you to specify data against which you can compare a read barcode. Note that, if the Barcode Count is greater than 1, only the first barcode data can be compared or used in a remote teach operation. To see which barcode is the first one, turn on annotations.
