JADAK FM-8/FM-9 User’s Manual
Chapter 6 - Imaging
The FM-8/FM-9 can be used to capture images and perform machine vision, in addition to
decoding barcodes. This can be very helpful in clinical analyzers and other fixed mount
applications where there is a need to scan barcodes and/or identify objects. This chapter
describes some of the functions that are related to image capturing.
Illumination Brightness
Use the command
LEDSPWR
to set the Illumination (LEDs Power) between ‘Off’ and 100% with
a value between 0 (=Off) and 3 (=100%).
Be aware that this setting also is in place when scanning bar codes, when
EXPMODE
is set to 0.
All illumination brightness menu command barcodes are included below. Default = 3 (High)
Note:
In order to have a continuously visible aimer when
LEDSPWR
is set to 0, use
AIMMODE
2
instead of the default value of 1.
Setting examples:
Illumination Off
Illumination Brightness Low
Illumination Brightness Medium
* Illumination Brightness High
