Reading and Verifying Character Strings
98
FQ2-S4 User’s Manual
Step 2 Teaching
For teaching, you specify the measurement region and the format of the characters to read (number of characters,
alphanumeric characters or symbols, etc.). Detailed parameters to recognize the characters will be set automatically.
Also, you can register the characters that are actually read when teaching as a verification condition in the master
data.
Step 4 Setting the Verification Conditions
*1 If the number of characters that were actually read is less than the number of characters that was specified in the
character format, it is assumed that reading the characters failed.
*2 If alphanumeric characters are directly specified as fixed characters but the characters that were read do not
match the specified characters, it is assumed that reading the characters failed.
The following table gives detailed specifications for the character format.
1
Press [TEACH].
2
Place the characters to read in front of the camera.
3
Move the rectangle around the character string to
read, and then press [OK].
The measurement region will be set.
4
The characters that were read with the initial param-
eters will be displayed above each line.
You set the format of the characters to recognize to pre-
vent reading similar characters incorrectly. (This display
will not appear if the character format is already regis-
tered.)
• Number of characters to read in the character string
*1
• Types of characters (letters, numbers, symbols, fixed
characters,
*2
etc.)
Enter the types of characters in order and the number of
characters according to the actual character string that
was read.
