Setup Measurement

Measurement region

One barcode is read in a single measurement region. When the measurement region contains multiple barcodes, the result of the first barcode to be read is output.

Draw the measurement region, then execute AUTO setting. The barcode type and some of the decode conditions are automatically set.

Additional Functions Instructions

This document describes the additional functions of the ZFX-C1_/C2_-CD. Other functions are the same as those for the ZFX-C1_/C2_. Also read the User's Manual (Z264) for the ZFX-C1_/C2_.

Functions original to the ZFX-C1_/C2_-CD are as follows:

•Three measurement items: Barcode, 2D Code, Multi Colors

•Auto functions

Inspection by Individual Application

Barcode

This function reads and verifies barcodes. Read results and verification results can also be output. Measurement items to be executed from this measurement item onwards can also be specified according to the verification results. This allows you to specify a measurement flow matched to the code type. Nine barcode types can be read.

JAN/EAN/UPC, Code39, Codabar(NW-7), ITF(Interleaved 2 of 5), Code 93, Code128/GS1-128, GS1 DataBar*(Truncated, Stacked, Omni-directional, Stacked Omni-directional, Limited, Expanded, Expanded Stacked), Pharmacode, GS1-128 Composite Code(CC-A,CC-B,CC-C) *GS1 DataBar was formerly known as RSS.

Reading will end in error if the barcode type is incorrectly set. Set the barcode type before starting reading. When AUTO setting is executed, the captured barcode is read, and the following items can be set:

•Code type p.6

•Direction (for Pharma only) p.6

•Reverse decode (for Pharma only) p.6

Region settings

This function sets the measurement region.

Item Description

Measurement region Sets the region to be measured.

Registering the master data for verification

Master data are used for verification. After reading process, the read text string can be verified against the preregistered master data. 32 sets of master data can be registered as text string. Also, processing to be executed from this measurement item onwards can also be branched according to the verification results when measurement control function is ON.

X MENU mode - [Setup] - [Item] - [Master data]

Item Description

Master data There are two modes for registering master data, auto setting and manual setting.

Auto setting: The actual barcode is used to register the master data. When the [AUTO] button is pressed, the barcode is read and the result is registered as the master data. Text string up to 32 characters long are registered. Control codes also can be registered. Manual setting: Text string up to 32 characters long can be registered as master data via the software keyboard. Check available characters in the ASCII table. 2-byte characters, 1-byte kana characters and control codes cannot be entered. The following characters can be used as wildcards: *: Wildcard for zero or more characters ?: Wildcard for one character

ASCII code table p.3

Rename This is the text string displayed as the verification result on the result display screen.

First meas. Item No. This is the Start No. of measurement items to be executed, when the measurement

control is set to ON and the read text string match the master data.

Last meas. Item No. This is the End No. of measurement items to be executed, when the measurement control

is set to ON and the read text string match the master data.

Measurement control p.5

Important

When the manual registration screen is displayed after execution of AUTO setting, unavailable characters in manual registration (control codes, 2-byte characters, 1-byte kana characters, etc.) are displayed as "?".

The following table shows the ASCII codes that can be used for manual registration of master data and also for registering characters of Limits.

Threshold

This function sets the judgment conditions.

Item Description

Num. of characters Sets the range of number of characters to be judged as OK.

Range: 0 to 1024

Characters The read text string is judged as OK when it is the same as the characters in this menu.

Up to 32 characters can be set. Check available characters in the ASCII table. 2-byte characters, 1-byte kana characters and control codes cannot be entered. The following characters can be used as wildcards: *: Wildcard for zero or more characters ?: Wildcard for one character

•The output order

The read results can be output on the serial interface. When the calculation results are output at the same time,

the calculation results are output first, followed by the read results (text string).

•Code conversion

The following character codes need to be converted for output. The texts after conversion are output.

Example: Output of read results together with two expressions Read result: ABC [Expression] - [Data0]: 123 [Expression] - [Data1]: 456

The output order is as follows: 123,456 (delimiter) ABC (delimiter)

Measurement control function

This function enables control of the next measurement item to be executed based on the verification results with the master data. The overall judgment result does not reflect the measurement items that are not executed. Example: Measurement of product A and product B are branched according to the verification results.
