2 GENERAL FEATURES

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Matrix-1000 is an area CCD reader for industrial application using 2D, 1D, stacked and
postal codes.
Matrix-1000 uses imaging technology and provides complete reading system functions by
integrating: lighting system, image acquisition, image processing, decoding and
communication into a single compact unit.
This technology intrinsically provides omni-directional reading.
Standard Application Program
A Standard Application Program is factory-loaded onto Matrix-1000. This program controls
code reading, data formatting, serial port, and many other operating and control parameters.
It is completely user configurable from a Laptop or PC using the dedicated configuration
software program VisiSet™, provided on CD-ROM with the reader.
There are different programmable operating modes to suit various code reading system
requirements.
Quick, automatic calibration and positioning of the reader can be accomplished using the
Autolearning button and LEDs on top of the reader without the necessity of a PC.
Autolearning can also be performed through VisiSet™ through the Autolearning Wizard. This
tool includes visual feedback from the reader.
VisiSet™ provides a Calibration Tool to verify the exact positioning of the reader and to
maximize its reading performance.
Statistics on the reading performance can also be visualized through a dedicated window in
VisiSet™.
Programmability
If your requirements are not met by the Standard Application Program, Custom Application
Programs can be requested at your local Datalogic distributor.
