4 Features The LVS-9510 is for offline verification of bar codes to ISO/IEC standards. The LVS-9510 is unique in the world of ISO verification due to its ease of use and ability to verify linear (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) codes without any change of equipment; autodiscriminate the symbology, narrow bar width and aperature to be used to evaluate the code; and highlight trouble spots in the code. Additional outstanding features include: GS1 US and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant-ready. Inspects all nine of the ISO (ANSI) parameters in linear (1D) codes, plus added features of determining blemishes, opacity, and human readable validation. The LVS-9510 also verifies 2D codes (including Multi-row and Matrix codes) and reports all parameters as specified in the applicable symbology specification. Analysis is color coded to show exactly where the problem is located within the bar code, and sections of the bar code can be analyzed to determine how to solve the problem. High-resolution inspection of the bar code is possible due to the use of a 5.0 megapixel high resolution camera, which allows reading and analyzing every two thousandth of an inch (.002 /.05 mm) of the bar code height; this exceeds the minimum ten-scan average required by ISO. Camera technology allows more detailed analysis of the bar code, and makes reading of small and truncated codes possible, accurate and easy. Multiple codes, including any combination of Linear, Matrix (such as Data Matrix, QR Code and Aztec Code) and Stacked Linear (such as PDF 417, Micro PDF and Composite Codes) can be verified on one label within the field of view. Designed to ISO grade bar codes on various label sizes and finished products with flat or rounded sides. Supplied with a NIST traceable conformance standard test card provided by GS1 to ensure that it is always within a known calibration standard. LVS-9510 Information Book 4 of 18

12 Software Overview The LVS-95XX software is comprised of tabs located across the top of the screen, each designed to perform a specific function. Refer to the following sections for more information on each tab. Tabs Welcome Tab The Welcome tab is the first tab to appear when logging onto the LVS This tab provides the version number and allows the user to select the desired software language. The LVS-9510 currently supports 14 languages. Setup Tab The Setup tab is where system settings are defined, such as: The preferred method of grading bar codes (automatic, manual or auto-sector) Single or Multi-bar code Verification Application Standards Camera options Operator names and passwords Local time of day, date, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and time zone Product Information (used for EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, and UPC-E Symbologies) Distributor Information LVS-9510 Information Book 12 of 18

13 Calibration Tab The Calibration tab is where calibration of the system occurs. Two Calibrated Conformance Standard Test Cards are available for calibration: GS1-128 and EAN/UPC. The Calibration Card you use depends on your field of view. The Calibration Cards are used to certify that the system is calibrated according to ISO/ IEC 15416:2000(E) and is traceable to NIST standards. Grading Tab The Grading tab allows the user to perform the following functions: View the overall grade of the bar code. Select one of two ways to verify a bar code: Full or Pass/Fail. The Full option analyzes a bar code in detail and displays the ISO parameters. Passing Grade Failing Grade The Pass/Fail option analyzes a bar code in detail and displays Pass if the bar code passed or Fail if the bar code failed. Passing Grade Viewing options such as: Failing Grade Option Contrast Description Contrast of each scan line on the bar code. Modulation Allows you to view a modulation error. Decodability Defects OCR Indicates the measurement of the deviation of the width of bars and spaces when compared to their ideal widths. Indicates elements on the correct side of the global threshold but have deviation in reflectance. Verifies the human readable portion of a bar code. Zoom Allows you to zoom in on an image. LVS-9510 Information Book 13 of 18

14 Verify the following types of codes: linear codes, two-dimensional matrix codes and twodimensional multi-row codes. View all of the measured parameters individually, which are used to determine why a bar code has a certain grade. There are numerous parameters listed, depending on the symbology. Checks for Blemishes. Height and Width measurements of the bar code. Color Code legend which reports ISO/IEC grades by color code. Zoom Tab The Zoom tab allows you to further evaluate the quality of bar codes by magnifying the bar code image up to four times. You can change the position of magnification by clicking on a different position on the image, and you can also change the horizontal and vertical position of the image. SRP View Tab The SRP (Scan Reflectance Profile) tab allows you to further evaluate a bar code error by selecting what type of error will be super-imposed onto the SRP graph. Options include: Element Reflectance Modulation Decodability (width of each element) Defects (inflection to element reflectance) Full Screen Waveform Traditional Bar Growth and Shrinkage Structure Tab Many organizations throughout the world create bar code labels according to a set of rules used to standardize how bar code data is to be structured in order to easily transfer trade-related information between two parties. For the most part, these rules were created and governed by an international group called ISO/IEC. The Structure tab shows the data structure analysis of all bar code symbologies. Archive Tab When a bar code image is captured, the LVS-9580 analyzes the image and determines if the image is different from the last bar code image collected. If the image is different, the LVS-9510 Information Book 14 of 18

15 software stores the new report and marks it with a file number along with a new date/time stamp. The Archive Tab allows you to access these various reports and files, which are stored in an SQL-compatible database. Archive options include: Import Image from File Change SQL connection Export Image to File Recent Reports (last 30 days) Delete Prior to Specific Date Create Backup database Audit Trail Report Browse Backup database Software Version History File Calibration Report (History) Reference Report Export reference data LVS-9510 Information Book 15 of 18
