3.1.1 Image history

In Image history, the recorded images are displayed one after the other. The images recorded most recently are added on the left.

By comparing and assessing the recorded images, you can analyze, for example,

• whether the trigger is set correctly and the appropriate region of the reading area was recorded

• whether the codes for moving objects were represented in focus and whether the shutter time was set correctly

• how often a code was recorded per reading gate.

To find out the reason for unsuccessful readings, you may find it useful to analyze the

images without identified codes (N

O READ).

The images displayed in reduced form in Image history are displayed by clicking in the main view. The file name and storage location of the images are displayed as a tooltip (mouseover).

You can use the and buttons to switch between several sequences.

The number of displayed images depends on the operating mode and the configuration:

• Depending on the configuration of the Image selection parameter, either the last 200 individual images are displayed (one individual image per trigger) or 60 images per second are displayed in individual sequences.

• During reading to test the configuration (operating mode Setup), the last 30 images recorded are displayed.

3.1.2 Code infobox

The reading results are displayed in the Code infobox. To evaluate the readability and read quality, the code contents are displayed along with other relevant data for all known codes. Codes that have been detected several times in one image are listed one below the other.

The columns can be enlarged and their sequence changed using drag and drop.

Code content The contents of the codes are displayed in the C

ODE CONTENT column.

By assigning the code contents to the code, you can compare the read contents with the actual contents of the code.

ODE ID

C The code type of the code is displayed in the C

ODE ID column. By assigning the code type to

the code contents, you can activate/deactivate certain code types in the code configuration in order to limit multiple contents to one code type, for example.

Code contrast PCS The contrast of the codes in % is displayed in the C

ODE CONTRAST PCS column.

A high contrast simplifies identification of a code. By comparing different configurations, you can find the setting for the highest possible contrast.

• From 55% to 100%: Contrast

EXCELLENT

• From 20% to 55%: Contrast GOOD

• Less than 20%: Contrast POOR

Module width/height in px The module width and height of the codes is displayed in pixels in the M

IN PX column.

ODULE WIDTH/HEIGHT

The value can be used to evaluate the reading reliability (reserve) in relation to the image resolution. The higher the value, the more reliable the reading. A value of at least 2/2, is recommended, i.e. every code element is represented by at least 2/2 pixels.

By comparing the two values, you may be able to detect a distortion of the image or of the code.

4.1.1 Image history

In Image history, the recorded images are displayed one after the other. The images recorded most recently are added on the left.

By comparing and assessing the recorded images, you can analyze, for example,

• how often a code was recorded in total

• how often a code was recorded per reading gate

• whether the codes for moving objects were represented in focus and whether the shutter time was set correctly

To find out the reason for unsuccessful readings, you may find it useful to analyze the

images without identified codes (N

O READ).

The images displayed in reduced form in Image history are displayed by clicking in the main view. The file name and storage location of the images are displayed as a tooltip (mouseover).

You can use the and buttons to switch between several sequences.

The number of displayed images depends on the operating mode and the configuration:

• During reading to test the configuration (operating mode Setup), the last 30 images recorded are displayed.

4.1.2 Code infobox

The columns can be enlarged and their sequence changed using drag and drop.

ODE CONTENT

The contents of the codes are displayed in the CODE CONTENT column.

By assigning the code contents to the code, you can compare the read contents with the actual contents of the code.

ONLINE HELP SOPAS Chapter 5

LECTOR®620

Parameters

5.4.1.1.1 Reading distance

The Reading distance parameter is used to set the distance between the LECTOR the object. The reading distance is used to modify the depth of field of the LECTOR

620 and

620 at

the installation location.

The value can be entered manually in mm or set automatically using the Auto button.

To avoid disruptive reflections on the object surface, the LECTOR

620 should be in-

stalled at a suitable fixing bracket (see installation information).

The reading distance influences the minimum code resolution and the size of the reading area:

• If the reading distance is small, smaller codes can be read.

5.4.1.1.2 Auto

Pressing the Auto button calls up the Auto Setup wizard for automatic configuration of the reading distance.

For the reading distance to be adjusted automatically, a suitable object with contrast changes or edges (e.g. code, text, or other structures) must be placed in the reading area.

A prerequisite for automatic configuration of the reading distance is a certain basic brightness at which the structures in the image are visible.

5.4.1.2 Exposure time

The time frame for taking an image is defined in μs via the parameters for the Exposure time group.

• A short exposure time can accommodate high object speeds. As this causes the image brightness to decrease, it may be necessary to adjust the signal amplification (Exposure

time). This does, however, increase the image noise.

• A long exposure time offers a high level of brightness and therefore minimal image noise. This is the optimal setting for stationary or slow-moving objects.

5.4.1.2.1 Exposure time

The time frame for taking an image is defined in μs via the Exposure time parameter. The exposure time can be set via the slide control.

• A short exposure time can accommodate high object speeds. As this causes the image brightness to decrease, it may be necessary to adjust the signal amplification (Brightness). This does, however, increase the image noise.

• A long exposure time offers a high level of brightness and therefore minimal image noise. This is the optimal setting for stationary or slow-moving objects.

Chapter 5 ONLINE HELP SOPAS

Parameters

LECTOR®620

5.4.1.2.2 Exposure time

The time frame for taking an image is defined in μs via the Exposure time parameter. The exposure time can be entered in the input field.

• A short exposure time can accommodate high object speeds. As this causes the image brightness to decrease, it may be necessary to adjust the signal amplification (Exposure

time). This does, however, increase the image noise.

• A long exposure time offers a high level of brightness and therefore minimal image noise. This is the optimal setting for stationary or slow-moving objects.

5.4.1.3 Image settings

The image brightness and contrast settings are made via the parameters in the Image set-

tings group.

A good image that displays the code clearly is essential for a reliable reading. Optimizing the image settings results in better code identification and therefore increases the reliability of the reading.

5.4.1.3.1 Brightness

The amplification of the signal is set via the Brightness parameter. The signal amplification can be set via the slide control.

The image brightness can be adjusted by amplifying the signal in order to achieve better visibility and decodability. When setting the signal amplification, it should be noted that an overly high setting causes significant image noise and therefore makes it difficult to read the code.

For this to be avoided, the value should be increased in stages until the code can be

read successfully.

5.4.1.3.2 Brightness

The amplification of the signal is set via the Brightness parameter. The signal amplification value can be entered into the input field.

For this to be avoided, the value should be increased in stages until the code can be

read successfully.

ONLINE HELP SOPAS Chapter 5

LECTOR®620

Parameters

5.4.1.3.3 Contrast

The Contrast parameter is used to set the gamma correction in % and adapt it to the code contrast. The gamma correction can be set via the slide control.

If the optical difference between black and white code elements is minimal, the parameter should be set to a high value until the code elements can be clearly distinguished.

To monitor the contrast, the data in the Code infobox (C

ONTRAST) can be evaluated:

• 100%: Max. contrast

• 10%: Code can already be identified

5.4.1.3.4 Contrast

The Contrast parameter is used to set the gamma correction in % and adapt it to the code contrast. The percentage value for the gamma correction can be entered into the input field.

If the optical difference between black and white code elements is minimal, the parameter should be set to a high value until the code elements can be clearly distinguished.

To monitor the contrast, the data in the Code infobox (C

ONTRAST) can be evaluated:

• 100%: Max. contrast

• 10%: Code can already be identified

5.4.1.3.5 Auto

Pressing the Auto button calls up the Auto Setup wizard for automatic configuration of the brightness and contrast.

For the settings to be adjusted automatically, a suitable object with contrast changes or edges (e.g. code, text, or other structures) must be placed in the reading area.

5.4.1.4 Illumination

The parameters of the Illumination group are used to deactivate and configure the illumination elements.

Optimizing the settings leads to an optimum, high-contrast, and consistently illuminated reading area. External influences caused by sun, darkness, room lighting, etc. can therefore be minimized.

5.4.1.4.1 Internal

The Internal parameter is used to modify the internal illumination of the LECTOR

620 in line

with the application's in situ lighting situation.

• O

FF: If external illumination is used, the internal illumination can be deactivated.

• L

EFT/RED (type-dependent): This illumination type permits the maximum contrast for co-

des in the wavelength spectrum between blue and green.

Chapter 5 ONLINE HELP SOPAS

Parameters

LECTOR®620

• RIGHT/BLUE (type-dependent): This lighting type offers the maximum contrast for codes in the wavelength spectrum between green and red and can improve the reflective properties of codes on metal surfaces.

• B

OTH/RED + BLUE (type-dependent): The combination of both illumination types offers the

maximum contrast for black codes. The reading area is illuminated uniformly with increased light output. This setting is recommended for large reading distances and when the background color is unknown or subject to change.

• B

OTH/INFRARED (type-dependent): The advantage of the infrared lighting is that the light is

invisible to humans, meaning that no disruptive light sources are emitted from the device. The code contrast achieved by the lighting is dependent on the code's material properties and surface condition and must be tested.

Individual parameter values are not supported by all device types.

Optimal illumination of the reading field and an increased read rate are achieved by setting the internal lighting.

5.4.1.4.2 Aiming laser

For various operating statuses, you can use the Aiming laser parameter to mark the optimum position for the codes in the center of the reading area directly on the object using the integrated laser pointer.

As a result, you can easily position the codes manually and achieve optimum alignment.

• O

FF: Aiming laser is deactivated.

5.4.1.5 Image filters

Parameters for optimizing the camera image in the case of noise or special code markings are combined in the Image filters group.

5.4.1.5.1 Noise suppression

Image smoothing is switched on and off via the Noise suppression parameter to pick out the code clearly against the background.

Chapter 5 ONLINE HELP SOPAS

Parameters

LECTOR®620

Smoothing improves the reading properties, particularly if the image appears to be affected by noise or the code background is unstable due to a high level of amplification (Brightness).

Without noise

5.4.1.5.2 Dot size

You can use the Dot size parameter to optically enlarge the code elements in order to adapt the LECTOR

620 to hard-to-read codes (e.g. codes with gaps between the points of the L-

pattern).

: difficult to read

: ideal to read

In the case of codes that were created e.g. with inkjet printers, dot peeners, or lasers, the code elements may not be connected in some cases. In this case, the readability of the codes can be improved by enlarging the code elements.

The value should be increased step by step until the code can be read successfully.

5.4.1.6 Increase performance

The parameters for the Increase performance group can be used to ensure the readability of the codes at higher object speeds and/or to reduce the evaluation time.

ONLINE HELP SOPAS Chapter 5

LECTOR®620

Parameters

5.4.1.6.1 Setting image frequency manually

If the Setting image frequency manually parameter is activated, the image frequency can by specified by the user. If this parameter is deactivated, the reading device operates at maximum image frequency. The R

EQUEST button can be used to retrieve the current image fre-

quency of a connected device. There may be a deviation between the set image frequency and the actual image frequency used by the reading device. The device adjusts the image frequency to other settings such as the exposure time. A long exposure time significantly reduces the image frequency.

It makes sense to reduce the image frequency for slow applications in which the object containing the code moves past the reading device slowly. Reducing the image frequency increases the time for evaluating individual images. This results in increased reading reliability for each individual image. Reduced image frequency is not suitable for fast applications, as you run the risk of not detecting the code on any image.

5.4.1.6.2 Image frequency input field

The required image frequency can be entered into the input field in Hz, number of images / s. A message appears if invalid values are entered.

5.4.1.6.3 Image rotation 180°

If the Image rotation 180° parameter is activated, the image is recorded rotated around 180°.

As the image is processed from the top down, codes in the top part of the image are identified earlier. By rotating the image around 180°, you can therefore reduce the evaluation time for codes that are not positioned centrally. This is particularly true for readings at a standstill.

5.4.1.6.4 Image region of interest

You can use the Image region of interest parameter to concentrate the reading area on the required region.

A reduction in the reading area reduces the evaluation time and increases the frame rate. This enables you to achieve higher object speeds.

To change the size of the reading area, you drag and drop the red marking or enter the four percentage values.

5.4.2 Object trigger control

The Object trigger control tab contains the parameters for opening and closing the reading gate.

Chapter 5 ONLINE HELP SOPAS

Parameters

LECTOR®620

5.4.2.1 Starting/Stopping the object trigger

The Starting/Stopping the object trigger group contains the parameters for opening and closing the reading gate.

To ensure that the image is taken at the correct time and the code is securely registered, the electrical properties of the digital inputs must be adjusted to the sensors and triggers that are connected.

Depending on the application, this ensures that the appropriate image region of interest is recorded and that the settings are adjusted to the reading, whether this is in motion or stationary.

5.4.2.1.1 Trigger delay

The Trigger delay parameter is used to choose between configuration with units of length or configuration with units of time.

• T

RACK CONTROLLED: The values of the Pause, Reading gate length, Start delay, and Stop de-

lay parameters are entered in mm. In the event of a track-controlled delay, the reading gate

is not opened until the object has continued to move a predefined distance after the trigger signal.

• T

IME CONTROLLED: The values of the Pause, Reading gate length, Start delay, and Stop de-

lay parameters are entered in ms. In the event of a time-controlled delay, the reading gate

is not opened until a predefined time has elapsed after the trigger signal.

5.4.2.1.2 Start delay

You can use the Start delay parameter to influence the time for opening the reading gate. The unit can be selected in the Trigger delay parameter.

A positive value causes the reading gate to be opened later, e.g. in order to only enter codes that are at the rear of an object to therefore reduce the decoding time.

By modifying the trigger, you can adjust the image recording more accurately to the code position.

• A

UTO CYCLE: The reading gate is opened and closed automatically after a defined cycle

(using the Pulse and Pause parameters) (e.g. if the feed speed stays the same and the code position is constant or for manual code reading)

• CAN: The signal for opening and closing the reading gate is expected via the CAN interface. In a network of devices that communicate with each other via the CAN network, the signal for opening the reading gate can be distributed. For this, a suitable trigger signal is received by a device (usually the master) and distributed to the other CAN network.

• U

ger with a mouse click.

5.4.2.2 Trigger distribution

The communication from the trigger signal to network users is defined in the Trigger distri-

bution group.

In a network with several reading devices, it is often sufficient to use a photoelectric switch or connect a reading device to the control. The trigger signal is then distributed to the network users.

The Trigger distribution function allows trigger signals and the number of photoelectric swit- ches in use to be significantly reduced. This leads to a significant reduction in system complexity and cost.

thereby increasing device performance.

Adapting the settings to suit the application reduces the decoding time and increases both reading reliability and the readability of low-contrast, 1D codes.

5.7.3.1 Code contrast

To find the codes in the reading field, the image taken is searched thoroughly for structures with sufficiently large contrast variations. A code pattern is only expected within these structures.

A minimum value for these contrast variations is defined in % via the Code contrast parameter. Areas where the contrast is below the defined value are not searched for code patterns.

• To read low-contrast codes reliably regardless, a low value (e.g., 10%) must be set. This does, however, increase the decoding time, as it involves searching a larger image area.

• For high-contrast codes, the value can be increased accordingly. In this case, a correspondingly smaller image area is searched, which reduces the decoding time.

• N

ORMAL: Only non-mirrored codes can be decoded correctly.

• M

IRRORED: Only mirrored codes that have been recorded from below through a glass pane,

If the Hex – ASCII output parameter is activated, every code character is output as a hexadecimal value. If the parameter has deactivated the hexadecimal output, the code contents are output directly as ASCII characters. If the code contains control characters during the ASCII output, these are replaced by the @ character to avoid conflicts with the protocol framework.

Converting the code contents into hexadecimal values enables all characters – including control characters – to be output.

5.7.7.2 Length

Codes with a defined number of characters can be excluded from the reading process via the parameters in the Length group.

Limiting the number of codes to be read reduces the decoding time.

5.7.7.2.1 Code length

You can use the Code length parameter to restrict the permitted number of characters in a code.

• F

REE: Codes of any code length are read.

• I

NTERVAL: The Interval parameter can be used to define the minimum and maximum code

length. Only codes with a code length between these two values are read.

• F

with one of these defined code lengths are read.

5.7.7.2.2 Interval

The Interval parameter can be used to define the minimum and maximum code length. Only codes with a code length between these two values are read.

By defining a minimum and maximum code length, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

5.7.7.2.3 Fixed length

The Fixed length parameter is used to define several fixed code lengths. Only codes with one of these defined code lengths are read.

By defining certain permitted code lengths, you restrict the range of codes to be read.

This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

width

You use the Multiread parameter to define a minimum number of G reading to be output as a G

OOD READ.

OOD READ required for a

By defining a minimum number of readings, you reduce the likelihood of misinterpretations for codes with poor printing quality or a low contrast, and increase reading reliability.

5.7.13.1.2 Module width

You can use the Module width parameter to choose between the automatic and user-defined module width.

You use the User-defined module width parameter to specify in mm the smallest structure for decoding a code.

Missing start and stop characters for codes of code type Pharmacode mean that incorrect readings could occur for structures with a similar code. To increase reading reliability, the value should be tailored as accurately as possible to the smallest code element (module width) that actually occurs in the code.

5.7.13.1.3 Reverse

If the Reverse parameter is activated, the code is read in reverse direction.

As the codes of code type Pharmacode do not have a start or stop character and do not have a check digit at the end, the code contents differ depending on the reading direction. The reading direction must therefore be defined in the configuration.

5.7.13.2 Not calibratable

5.7.14.1 General

Reading processes such as the code format and symbol size are configured under the

General group.

5.7.14.1.1 Code format

You can use the Code format parameter to select the format (Data Matrix Code symbology) for data output:

• ECC200: The data is output with the standard data formatting.

• GS1: The data is output with the special GS 1 data formatting. User-specific characters can be defined for the FNC1 character (control character at the start of the code) and for the separator (control character within the code). As a result, after every

FIER for example, a line break (CR, LF) can be inserted in the data string.

APPLICATION IDENTI-

5.7.14.1.2 Max. permissible error correction

The redundancy that may be used for decoding purposes is specified as a percentage via the Max. permissible error correction parameter. With an error correction of 0 %, no redundancy is used in the code for the reading. Only good-quality codes that have been properly applied are read and identified. With an error correction of 100 %, the code detection is maximized by means of redundancy.

A high value during parameter error correction increases the read rate. Low values reduce the read rate and increase the quality of the reading results.

5.7.14.1.3 Activate ISO15415 verification

If the Activate ISO15415 verification parameter is activated, the codes are verified for compliance with the ISO/IEC 15415 standard. For this, the code contents are used to calculate values that can be output in the data strings via configuration of the output formats.

As the calculation of the values increases the decoding time, the function should only

be activated if required.

5.7.14.2 Length

Codes with a defined number of rows and columns can be excluded from the reading process via the parameters in the Length group.

Limiting the number of codes to be read reduces the decoding time.

ONLINE HELP SOPAS Chapter 5

LECTOR®620

Parameters

5.7.14.2.1 Symbol size

You can use the Symbol size parameter to restrict the permitted number of lines and columns of the codes.

The code dimensions are calculated from the symbol size and module size. For this, the symbol size is multiplied by the module size.

To reduce the decoding time, it may make sense to set the actual symbol size of the

code and thus exactly specify the expected code size.

• F

REE: All AIM/ISO/IEC-specified Data Matrix ECC200 sizes are decoded.

• F

IXED: The Fixed length 1, Fixed length 2 and Fixed length 3 parameters can be used to

select fixed symbol sizes. Only codes with one of these defined symbol sizes are read.

5.7.14.2.2 Fixed length 1

The Fixed length 1 parameter can be used to select a fixed symbol size. Only codes with this symbol size are read.

By defining certain permitted symbol sizes, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

5.7.14.2.3 Fixed length 2

The Fixed length 2 parameter can be used to select a fixed symbol size. Only codes with this symbol size are read.

By defining certain permitted symbol sizes, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

5.7.14.2.4 Fixed length 3

The Fixed length 3 parameter can be used to select a fixed symbol size. Only codes with this symbol size are read.

By defining certain permitted symbol sizes, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

Chapter 5 ONLINE HELP SOPAS

Parameters

LECTOR®620

5.7.14.2.5 Fixed length 4

A fixed symbol size can be selected using the Fixed length 4 parameter. Only codes with this symbol size are read.

Defining specific permissible symbol sizes restricts the spectrum of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

5.7.14.2.6 Fixed length 5

A fixed symbol size can be selected using the Fixed length 5 parameter. Only codes with this symbol size are read.

Defining specific permissible symbol sizes restricts the spectrum of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

5.7.14.2.7 Allow rectangular data fields

If the Symbol size parameter has value F

REE , square (e.g. 16 x 16) and rectangular (e.g. 8

x 18) symbols are identified if the Allow rectangular data fields parameter is activated.

5.7.14.3 Reducing evaluation time

The decoding time is adapted to the application on site and optimized via the parameters for the Reducing evaluation time group.

5.7.14.3.1 Code surrounded by patterns

If the Code surrounded by patterns parameter is activated, patterns/lines (e.g. strip conductors on printed circuit board) in the code environment are ignored during evaluation.

As a result, the reading concentrates on the code elements and the decoding time is reduced.

Codes with poor quality are generally ignored if the function is activated.

5.7.14.3.2 Code surrounded by text

If the Code surrounded by text parameter is activated, text (e.g. on packaging) in the code environment are ignored during evaluation.

ONLINE HELP SOPAS Chapter 5

LECTOR®620

Parameters

As a result, the reading concentrates on the code elements and the decoding time is reduced.

Codes with poor quality are generally ignored if the function is activated.

5.7.14.3.3 Decoding

The parameter Decoding defines if the reading is optimized on time or on aggressive decoding.

•

FAST: Fast decoding is recommanded when the code quality is good and the decoding time

must be very short.

•

AGGRESSIVE: Aggressive is usefull when decoding time is not that relevant, e.g. stationary

applications, but the code is of poor quality, e.g. low contrast, errors in the codes.

•

BALANCED: Balanced meets the needs of applications in between.

5.7.14.4 Increasing robustness

The settings in the Increasing robustness group are used to increase the readability of codes with poor printing quality. However, these settings reduce the reading reliability.

5.7.14.4.1 Errors in L-pattern

According to the ISO/IEC 16022 standard, the code structure (L-pattern) must be marked without gaps and must extend across the complete code height and width. If the Errors in

L-pattern parameter is active, however, codes with an incorrect code structure are also

read.

During decoding, any gaps in the code structure are ignored. For the code to still be read, there must be a quiet zone of at least 5 times the cell size around the code. This may increase the decoding time.

5.7.14.5 GS1 format

The control characters in the GS1 data matrix code format can be replaced with alternative, user-specific characters under the GS1 format group. Control characters in the GS1 data matrix are used at the start of the code to identify the code format and within the code to classify the data groups. The user-specific characters are entered as hexadecimal values via the keyboard, clipboard, or the A

DD VARIABLE OR CONSTANT button.

5.7.14.5.1 Replacing the FNC1 character

In the GS1 code format, the Replacing the FNC1 character parameter can be used to define user-specific characters for the FNC1 character (control character at the start of the code).

Parameters

5.8 Data processing

The Data processing tab contains the parameters for defining the two output formats, as well as for filtering, sorting, and controlling the data output.

These parameters are used to define the data, conditions, time, and sequence of the output on the communication interfaces.

5.8.1 Collection of data

Data is assigned to an object in the Collection of data group. Using the parameters in the

Collection of data group, object data can be used uniquely in relation to a particular object

and the code content can be uniquely assigned to an object.

5.8.1.1 Timeout

The Timeout parameter defines the duration before data processing should be started or stopped.

5.8.2 Code summarization

Depending on their position on the object, a distinction can be made between codes of the same type and with the same content using the parameters in the Code summarization group.

For this to take place, there must be a definable minimum distance (code distance) between the identical codes on the object.

5.8.2.1 Separate codes depending on position

If the Separate codes depending on position parameter is activated, the system differentiates between codes of the same code type and with identical code contents depending on their position on the object.

The identical codes on the object must have a definable minimum distance (Code distance).

5.8.2.2 Code distance

The Code distance parameter is used to define the minimum distance for differentiating between identical codes.

The system only differentiates between codes with the same symbology and identical code contents if their distance on the object is at least the defined Code distance.

5.8.5 Match code

The Match code tab contains all of the parameters for teaching-in match codes (set codes). Codes read during operation are compared with the contents of the match code. The correlation is displayed.

It is then necessary to ensure the prerequisites for a successful reading are met by set-

ting the parameters correctly on the Camera and lighting tab.

To activate a match code that has been taught in, the corresponding condition is selected via parameter Conditions for Good Read. If the content of the codes that have been read does not correspond with the activated match code conditions, the reading is evaluated as unsuccessful (N

O READ).

5.8.5.1 Matchcode Teach-in 1

The Matchcode Teach-in 1 group contains the parameters for teaching in matchcode 1.

To activate a taught-in matchcode, the corresponding condition is selected e.g. for the

Conditions for Good Read parameter.

5.8.5.1.1 Activating teach-in mode

Depending on the settings for the Start teach-in parameter, the Activating teach-in mode parameter is used to define the signal for preparing or starting the teach-in process for the match code.

The signal can, for example, originate from a key switch at one of the digital inputs or be triggered via a command.

• N

OT DEFINED: Match code is not taught in.

• S

ENSOR 1: The match-code teach-in process is prepared and started via a signal at digital

input 1 (e.g. a key switch).

• S

ENSOR 2: The match-code teach-in process is prepared and started via a signal at digital

input 2.

• E

Parameters

5.8.6.2 Filters/Sorters for Output Format2

You can use the graphical interface of the Filters/Sorters for Output Format2 group to restrict (filter) data for output of the reading results and define the sequence in which the data is output (sort). By combining filters and sorters, you can therefore individually influence data output.

Any number of filters and sorters can be graphically arranged for this between the device and PC. The filters can also be arranged in parallel.

EL. key.

During filtering, you can use the button to define the variable and condition for filtering.

Example: (CL) C

ODE LENGTH = 10: Only codes with a code length of exactly 10 characters are

output.

During sorting, you use the button to select the variable used to sort the reading results. You can also choose between sorting in ascending and descending order.

Example: (CL) C

ODE LENGTH - ASCENDING: The codes with the shortest code length are output

first.

5.8.7 Output format

The format of the data strings for outputting the reading results are defined on the Output

format tab.

The flexibility of the output format allows additional information to be added relating to the code and its position, the reading gate, and the individual reading results.

5.8.7.1 Output format 1

The format of the data string for outputting the reading results is defined on the graphical interface of the Output format 1 group. A total of two different formats (Output format 1 and

Output format 2) can be defined. During configuration of the interfaces, one of the two out-

put formats can be assigned.

The output format is graphically displayed and can contain conditions, special characters (orange), variables (blue), or free text. To individually modify the output format, you select the required insertion position with the mouse. The entries are made using the keyboard or special buttons:

You can use the button or the context menu (right mouse button) to insert, for example, conditions, special characters (e.g., start and stop), or reading result variables.

For additional information see the F1 help.

You can use the button to modify the properties of a condition. For each condition, you can define which data should be output if the condition is met. You can also define data for the case in which the condition is not met. Conditions can be interleaved.

To check the output format, you can display the reading results on the terminal. To do this, you open the terminal using the button in the toolbar and establish a connection with the
