OPERATION
Model 5550 Universal Film Data Decoder Manual
The setup menu is used to configure the basic operational modes of the
5550 such as selecting negative or print film stock, setting the intensity
levels, etc. The following sections give detailed descriptions of each of the
menu items.
3.2.1. Selecting the Film Type
type
used to select whether you are using negative or print film. This
setting allows the 5550 to adjust for the image reversal on the
film.
Select negative if you are using camera negative film.
Select print if you are using print film.
3.2.2. Controlling the Intensity of the KeyKode Sensor Light Source
The model 5550 controls the brightness of the illuminating LED in order to
accommodate for the various exposure densities of the keykode on the
film. The LED intensity control can be either manually controlled by the
user or automatically controlled by the 5550. There are two menu items
that are used to control the LED intensity.
kk intensity Is used to display/set the intensity of the KeyKode light
source. Normally you will require a higher intensity for darker
exposures, and a lower intensity for lighter exposures. The
value shown ranges from a lower limit (below which the sensor
will not detect anything) and 999.
kk intens Is used to select whether you want to set the Keykode light
source intensity manually or have the 5550 use one of its
automatic intensity modes. When you are in one of the three
automatic intensity modes, this menu item will show the current
value of the Keykode intensity.
Select man to adjust the intensity manually.
Select auto for the normal automatic mode. In this mode the
5550 is constantly adjusting the LED intensity to achieve
optimal reading.
Select extd for the extended automatic mode. In extended auto
mode, the 5550 can recover the optimal setting over a wider
range of intensities.
Select hunt for the hunt mode. In hunt mode, the 5550 will
search through its entire intensity range when it can not recover
any keykode.
