Percentage evaluation
In the Percentage evaluation mode, the reading quality of bar codes which enter the reading
field of the CLV and are not moved (conveyor off) is assessed.
The CLV performs 100 scans in “Free Running“ mode and evaluates the reading quality. It
outputs the reading result continuously every 2 s via the
terminal interface
. The reading
results can be displayed in the terminal emulator of CLV Setup.
The Percentage evaluation mode can be called up by choosing V

in the menu bar or via
the terminal emulator.

The behavior of the "Result" LED also indicates the reading quality:
–
LED is extinguished if reading quality is < 30 %
–
LED flashes twice per second if the reading quality is 30 % to 70 %
–
LED flashes five times per second if the reading quality is 70 % to 90 %
–
LED is lit continuously if the reading quality is > 90 %
