Field of view
The device uses the
Auto Setup
function to automatically set the focus position to the
working distance. The function can be executed in SOPAS ET.
The focus position is valid for one working distance. The device does not perform auto‐
matic tracking (auto focus) if, for example, the working distance changes significantly.
NOTE
After successful calibration, do not change the working distance of the device and the
reading distance set in SOPAS ET.
If these settings are changed, the device must be recalibrated.
The set working distance effects the speed of the AGV and the size of the field of view
depending on the mounting alignment and the 2D codes used,
values during operation", page 50

Important information
NOTE
If problems with reflections occur, use a polarizing filter (part number: 2088228),
.
NOTE
Use the latest version of the SOPAS ET configuration software.
Versions older than SOPAS ET Version 2018.04 are not compatible with the device.
Adjusting the mounting angle
Align the device at a 90° angle to the surface so that the beta (
β
) and gamma (
γ
)
angles are set to exactly 0°. Check the beta (
β
) and gamma (
γ
) angles in SOPAS ET,
"Configuring the device manually", page 32
Adjustment of the alpha angle (
α
) is only relevant when using single 2D codes (not a
multicode label). Adjust the
alpha (
α
)
angle to change the coordinate system of the field
of view,
see "Configuring the device manually", page 32
