Calibrate

C a l i b r a t e

This parameter initiates the auto-calibration procedure.

This procedure automatically finds the optimum values for

all line and edge tracking parameters. Complete

instructions for using the auto-calibration procedure may

be found on page 66.

LED Color (Tracking Parameter)

L E D C o l o r B l u e

This parameter selects the color of the light source. Selec

a color that maximizes the contrast between the line o

edge and background material. This contrast value is

displayed in the lower right corner of the display. The

default value is Blue.

Range: Blue, Red, Green

LED Angle (Tracking Parameter)

L E D A n g l e D i f f

Diffuse: Use this setting for materials with a dull, non-

glossy finish. This is the default value.

L E D A n g l e R e f l

Reflective: Use this setting for highly reflective or glossy

materials.

L E D A n g l e S i d e

Side: Use this setting on holographic materials.

Filter (Tracking Parameter)

F i l t e r 4

This parameter helps the sensor ignore scratches,

smudges, and other stray marks by deliberately blurring

the image. Higher settings create more blurring, so should

be selected only for wider registration lines or stripes. The

default value is 4.

Range: 4, 8, or 16

Threshold (Tracking Parameter)

T h r e s h o l d 4

This parameter helps the sensor reject low-contrast o

blurry edges. Any edge that has a contrast value lowe

than this threshold will be ignored by the sensor. The

default value is 4.

Range: 1 to 127
