1D Pharmacode
Code Orientation
(PMA)
The code’s expected orientation.
Horizontal: the code is aligned to the x axis (+/- 45°)
Vertical: the code is aligned to the y axis (+/- 45°)
1D Pharmacode
Reverse Decoding
(PMA)
Indicates whether to read the code in the reverse direction. The default
setting of False is not changed during Training. To use the Reverse prop-
erty it must be manually selected on the Properties tab.
True (Reverse): Code is read from right to left (Horizontal code) or from
bottom to top (Vertical code)
False: Code is read from left to right (Horizontal code) or from top to bot-
tom (Vertical code)
2D Code Color The code’s foreground/background color combination. Training tries both
colors, then sets this property appropriately.
2D Code Contrast The contrast threshold to be used during the decoding process.
Low contrast values for very low contrast symbols may increase the
decoding time.
2D DPM Decoding
Method
The decoding algorithm to use based on the symbol’s printing/marking
technique and on the overall printing/marking quality.
True: Use this setting to improve the decode rate for low quality Direct
Part Mark codes and in general for Direct Part Mark codes with dot
peening type module shapes. The tool is more aggressive but in general
this setting requires longer decoding times.
False: Use this setting for printed codes or for good quality Direct Part
Mark codes.
Applies only to Datamatrix code types.
2D Datamatrix, QR
Module Size (pix-
els) (PMA)
This is the typical resolution of codes to be read (in pixels). Choose the
smallest usable value, but the minimum recommended value is 4.
2D Code Aligned
(PMA)
The code’s orientation.
True: decodes the code if its finder pattern is aligned to the x and y axes
(+/- 20°)
False: decodes the code regardless of its orientation
Applies only to Datamatrix code types.
2D Code Size
(PMA)
The number of code modules (rows x columns) to be read.
When Processing Mode is set to Standard, and during Training, only the
All and All Square values are read. With Processing Mode set to
Advanced, all values are read.
Pass Fail Wildcard When this character is used in the Pass Fail Match Code List, it replaces
one or more characters to be matched in the decoded string. If you use
just the Wildcard (or no characters) in the Pass Fail Match Code, all
decoded strings are matched. See “Wildcard and Placeholder Charac-
ters” on page 3-179.
Pass Fail Place-
holder
When this character is used in the Pass Fail Match Code List, it replaces
one character to be matched in the decoded string.See “Wildcard and
Placeholder Characters” on page 3-179.
