MicroHAWKSoftware -WebLinkOverview Industries first web-browser-based set-up tool • Supports standard browsers like Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc. “No Software” setup tool for MicroHAWK • No GUI software for users to install Simple setup • Easy and intuitive for novice users Fast, responsive design • Live, high-resolution image viewing • Immediate updates when the user changes settings Incredibly intuitive
Updated Software for V320/330/420/430 Code Readers • New DDU – Device Discovery Utility for camera configuration and software updates • Discovers ALL code readers or smart cameras on the network • Works with MIXED networks of Microsand Red and Omron Black cameras • Including MicroHAWK and Hawk MV4000 cameras • WebLink 2.0 – New major WebLink release with many customer requested features • Password Protection • Code Verification • Enhanced Match String • Format Output String Scripting • Advanced X-Mode decoder options for difficult to read codes • Configuration Database • Daisy Chain capability
Daisy Chain (Master/Slave) Multi-Reader Coordination • Feature: Combine up to 8 readers into single decoding group. Used to find single code on individual item, or multiple codes on multiple products. Allows for 360 degree product inspection and code reading when the code location is unpredictable. • Benefit : Enables multi-reader coordination without external PLC or PC • Typical Use: Across the web or 360 degree code reading • Configuration: One “Parent” reader (master), multiple “Child “readers (2-8 cameras) • Trigger and all results from Children passed though controlling Parent Reader. • Help Reference: WebLink Help->Quick Start->Daisy Chain Configuration • User Access: Setup through the Device Discovery Utility (DDU) Single Code Read Multiple Code Read
Format Output / String Scripting • Feature: Allows users to modify output string prior to sending result • Benefit : Greater flexibility integrating the code reader • Users can put predefined or user defined Pre and Postambles around string • User can choose the condition to modify the string based on code content, type, length or database index • In this case the string will be modified if it matches “Test?mil” (using placeholder).
Configuration Database • Feature: Configuration DB is used to try multiple decode options in one read cycle • Benefit : Ability to reliably read many codes that require significantly different settings of imaging (WOI/ROI/shutter/gain), focus distance, or processing parameters • User defines number of configurations in advanced settings • Configurations are set up individually and saved individually through setup dialog • The save button is used to store settings to each database entry
Code Quality Checking/Monitoring • Feature: Code quality checking/monitoring (Not fully ISO compliant verification – Lighting not to ISO spec and system cannot be calibrated) • Benefit : Allows in-line monitoring of print or mark quality during production • Works for 1D Barcodes, DataMatrix and QR Codes • Supports ISO/IEC 15415, 15416-2016, 16022 and 29158 • Tests can be applied individually. Grade reports as part decoded string output. • IO Connected to 16022 Verification only
