Step 5 — Select Model
When you start di-soric ID, the model menu will appear:
1. Click the button showing the ID-06 C-Mount.
2. Click
OK
.
Note:
You can also simply double-click the button showing
your imager to make your selection.
3. Click
Yes
when the following dialog appears:
Note:
If you need to select another model later, click the
Switch Model
button near the top of the screen or use
Model > New Model
in the menu toolbar.
Step 8 — Calibrate
Imager settings can be adjusted automatically for optimum
performance by either the EZ Button or by
di-soric ID
.
During the calibration routine, the imager will flash its Read
Rate percent LEDs and illumination LEDs while searching
camera settings and determining the best configuration for
decoding symbol data. If unsuccessful, the imager will emit 5
short beeps and stop searching.
Calibrate by di-soric ID
1. Click the
Calibrate
button.
2. The imager will search camera settings to determine the
best configuration for decoding symbol data.
A successful calibration will display a green frame around
the symbol in di-soric ID, and the following message will
appear: “Uploading all reader parameters.” After a moment
the symbol data will be presented in the field below the
image display window.
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 decoding symbol data.
Note:
To end all EZ Button functions, press the EZ Button
once and quickly release.
Calibrate by Serial Command
Send
<@CAL>
from a terminal program to begin auto-calibration.
Step 6 — Connect
To connect using the Connection Wizard:
• Click
Connect
on the menu toolbar, and then select
Connection Wizard
.
• Select
RS-232
or
Ethernet
to activate the appropriate display.
• Configure settings as required by the application, and click
Connect
.
• When a connection is established, the green indicator in the status
bar at the bottom right of the screen will be visible:
Important:
The imager is in
Continuous Read Mode
by default. For
best connection results, be sure that no decodable symbols are
within the imager’s field of view while attempting to connect.
Step 9 — Test Read Rate
Read Rate
indicates the number of successful decodes per second
achieved by the imager.
Test Read Rate by di-soric ID
1. Click the
Test
button to start the
Read Rate
test.
If a symbol has been successfully decoded, its data and related
information will be presented in the field below the image display
window. While the symbol is being decoded, the Read Rate
LEDs will indicate the read rate percentage on the top of the unit.
2. Click the
Stop
button to end the Read Rate test.
Note:
Read rate can also be tested using the Read Rate
interface
in
Utilities
.
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 on the top of the unit will illuminate.
While the symbol is being decoded, the Read Rate LEDs will
indicate the read rate percentage on the top of the unit.
2. To end the Read Rate test, press the EZ Button and quickly
release.
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 7 — Locate Symbol
Locate by di-soric ID
• In
di-soric ID
’s
EZ Mode
, click the
Locate
button.
The symbol in the field of view will appear in the video view
beneath the
Locate
and
Calibrate
buttons.
• Center the symbol in the imager’s field of view.
Important:
The entire symbol should fall within the field of
view (FOV) of the imager. The field of view is what appears in
di-soric ID
’s
Locate/Calibrate
window in
EZ Mode
.
• Click the
Stop
button to end the
Locate
function.
Locate by EZ Button
If you are not connected to a host computer, the EZ Button
allows you to locate the symbol 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 when the symbol is located.
Note:
To end all EZ Button functions, press the EZ Button
once and quickly release.
Step 10 — Configure and Save

button to establish communication.
• Click the
Send/Recv
button to send or receive commands.
• Click the
Switch Model
button to open the model menu.
• Click the
Parameters
button to show the tree controls for

Symbol Quality, Matchcode, and Diagnostics.
• Click the
Setup
button to access the Camera Setup tree and
the interfaces for Video, Evaluation, Calibration, Window of
Interest (WOI), Configuration Database, Ordered Output, Output
Format, and Dynamic Setup.
• Click the
Terminal
button to display decoded symbol data,
and to send serial commands to the imager using text or macros.
• Click the
Utilities
button to show the tabbed interfaces for Read
Rate, Counters, Device Control, Differences from Default, Master
Database, and Firmware.
Saving Options
•
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.
