Theory of Operation

The USB host initiates communication with the FDU01 using operation commands (Sensor LED On, Fingerprint Capture Start and Stop). Fingerprint data are then captured by the CMOS sensor at a total image size of 356 x 292 with 8-bit gray level. The image frame transfer speed is 500 bytes/ms. It takes about 600 milliseconds to send one frame of image data over USB protocols.

FDU01 uses the SecuGen FOR (Fingerprint Optic Reader).
