Step 6 —
Select Protocol and
Connect
• Choose the connection protocol you are using and click Connect.
• Once you select your communications mode, follow the simple prompts
to establish your connection.
• When you are connected, you will see the green connection indicator in
the status bar at the bottom right of your screen.
Step 9 — Test Read Rate
Read Rate indicates the number of tube/cap detections or successful
decodes per second achieved by the imager.
Test Read Rate by EZ Button
1. To start the Read Rate test, hold down
the EZ Button about three seconds
until you hear three short beeps. The
20%
,
40%
, and
60%
LEDs will illuminate.
While the object is being inspected, the
Read Rate LEDs will indicate the read
rate percentage on the back of the unit.
2. To end the Read Rate test, press the
EZ B
utton and quickly release.
Test Read Rate by ESP
1. Click the Test button to start the Read Rate test and Stop to end it.
If a tube or cap has been successfully detected, or a symbol has been
successfully decoded, the object’s data and related features will be
presented in the field below the image display window. Also, while the
object is being inspected, the Read Rate LEDs will indicate the Read
Rate percentage on the back of the unit.
2. To end the test, click the Stop button.
Note: Read Rate can also be tested using the Read Rate interface in
Utilities.
Test Read Rate by Serial Command
You can also start a test with the <C> or <Cp> command and end it with the
<J> command.
Step 10 — Configure the Imager
To make setup changes to the EZ Match Imager, click the App Mode button.
The following modes are accessible by clicking the buttons in the first row of
App Mode icons:
• Click the EZ Mode button to return to EZ Mode.
• Click the Autoconnect button to establish communication.
• Click the Send/Recv button to send or receive commands.
• Click the Switch Model button to open the model menu, or to return to a
previous model.
•Click the EZ Match button to Test the imager and to configure Multi-Operation
settings, tube/cap Library settings, and tube/cap detection Messages.
•
Click the
Parameters
button to show the tabbed tree controls for Communication,
Read Cycle, Symbologies, I/O Parameters, Symbol Quality, Matchcode, and
Diagnostics.
• Click the Setup button to access a Camera Setup tree control and Video
view, Evaluate image captures, Calibrate the imager, set the Window of
Interest, fine-tune capture settings and processing settings in the IP Database,
set up output filters and parse symbol data in Ordered Output and Output
Format, and control multiple read cycle functions in Dynamic Setup.
• Click the Terminal button to display tube or cap detection data or decoded
symbol data, and to send serial commands to the imager using text or macros.
•Click the Utilities button to test Read Rate, request or clear Counters, enable
or disable the imager or send output pulses in Device Control, determine the
Differences from Default in the current settings, add or remove master symbol
data in Master Database, and verify or update the imager’s Firmware.
For further details, see ESP Help in the dropdown Help menu.
Step 8 — Calibrate
EZ Match settings can be adjusted automatically for optimum tube/cap
detection and symbol decoding performance by either the EZ Button or by
ESP
.
During the calibration routine, the imager will flash its amber Read Rate
percent LEDs and red illumination LEDs while searching camera settings
and determining the best configuration for detecting tubes or caps, or for
decoding symbol data. Upon successful completion of this routine, a green
LED pattern will flash brightly and illuminate the object. If unsuccessful, the
imager will emit 5 short beeps and stop searching.
Calibrate by EZ Button
1. Hold down the EZ Button for about two seconds and release when you
hear two short beeps. The 20% and 40% LEDs will illuminate.
2.
The imager will search camera settings to determine the best configuration
for detecting tubes or caps, or for decoding symbol data.
Note: To end all EZ Button functions, press the EZ Button once and
quickly release.
Calibrate by ESP
1. Click the Calibrate button.
2.
The imager will search camera settings to determine the best configuration
for detecting tubes or caps, or for decoding symbol data.
A successful calibration will display a green frame around the object,
and the following message will appear: “Uploading all reader parameters.”
After a moment the tube/cap data and/or symbol data will be presented
in the field below the image display window.
Calibrate by Serial Command
Send <@CAL> from a terminal program to begin calibration.
Step 11 — Save Configuration
To make changes to a configuration setting:
• Send, No Save. Changes will be lost when power is re-applied to the
imager.
• Send and Save. This activates all changes in current memory and saves
to the imager for power-on.
1. Left click on the
+ t
o expand the
desired tree.
2. Double click on
the desired
parameter and
click once in the
selection box to
view options.
5. Right click on the
open screen and
select Save to
Reader to implement
the command in the
imager.
4. Left click on the
op
en screen to
complete your
selection.
3. Place your cursor
in the selection
box, scroll down to
the setting you
want to change,
and click once on
the setting.
Saving Options
Step 7 —
Locate the Object
Locate the Object by ESP
•In ESP’s EZ Mode, click the Locate button to enable the blue target pattern.
The object in the field of view will appear in the video view beneath the
Locate
and
Calibrate
buttons, and you will see the blue target
pattern projected
from the front of the imager.
• Center the target pattern on the object.
At 2 to 3 inches, the pattern resembles an X. At 3 to 6 inches, the pattern
resembles a V.
Important: The entire object of interest (tube, cap, or symbol) should fall
within the field of view (FOV) of the imager. The field of view is what appears
in ESP’s Locate/Calibrate window in EZ Mode.
• Click the Stop button to end the Locate function.
Locate the Object by EZ Button
If you are not connected to a host computer, the EZ Button allows you to locate
an object in the imager’s field of view.
• Hold down the EZ Button for about one second and release when you hear
one short beep. The amber 20% LED will illuminate, and you will see the
blue target pattern projected from the front of the imager.
• Center the target pattern on the object.
Note: To end all EZ Button functions, press the EZ Button once and quickly
release.
