LVS-9510 Information Book 4 of 18
Features
The LVS-9510 is for ofine verication of bar codes to ISO/IEC standards. The LVS-9510 is
unique in the world of ISO verication due to its ease of use and ability to verify linear (1D)
and two-dimensional (2D) codes without any change of equipment; autodiscriminate the
symbology, narrow bar width and aperature to be used to evaluate the code; and highlight
trouble spots in the code. Additional outstanding features include:
• GS1 US and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant-ready.
• Inspects all nine of the ISO (ANSI) parameters in linear (1D) codes, plus added features
of determining blemishes, opacity, and human readable validation. The LVS-9510 also
veries 2D codes (including Multi-row and Matrix codes) and reports all parameters as
specied in the applicable symbology specication.
• Analysis is color coded to show exactly where the problem is located within the bar
code, and sections of the bar code can be analyzed to determine how to solve the prob-
lem.
• High-resolution inspection of the bar code is possible due to the use of a 5.0 megapixel
high resolution camera, which allows reading and analyzing every two thousandth of an
inch (.002”/.05 mm) of the bar code height; this exceeds the minimum ten-scan average
required by ISO.
• Camera technology allows more detailed analysis of the bar code, and makes reading of
small and truncated codes possible, accurate and easy.
• Multiple codes, including any combination of Linear, Matrix (such as Data Matrix, QR
Code and Aztec Code) and Stacked Linear (such as PDF 417, Micro PDF and Compos-
ite Codes) can be veried on one label within the eld of view.
• Designed to ISO grade bar codes on various label sizes and nished products with at
or rounded sides.
• Supplied with a NIST traceable conformance standard test card provided by GS1 to
ensure that it is always within a known calibration standard.

Below are just a few of the Symbologies and Standards supported by the LVS-9510.

Software Overview
The LVS-95XX software is comprised of tabs located across the top of the screen, each
designed to perform a specic function. Refer to the following sections for more informa-
tion on each tab.
Tabs
Welcome Tab
The Welcome tab is the rst tab to appear when logging onto the LVS-9510. This tab
provides the version number and allows the user to select the desired software language.
The LVS-9510 currently supports 14 languages.
Setup Tab
The Setup tab is where system settings are dened, such as:
• The preferred method of grading bar codes (automatic, manual or auto-sector)
• Single or Multi-bar code Verication
• Application Standards
• Camera options
• Operator names and passwords
• Local time of day, date, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and time zone
• Product Information (used for EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, and UPC-E Symbologies)
• Distributor Information

LVS-9510 Information Book 13 of 18
Calibration Tab
The Calibration tab is where calibration of the system occurs. Two Calibrated Confor-
mance Standard Test Cards are available for calibration: GS1-128 and EAN/UPC. The
Calibration Card you use depends on your eld of view.
The Calibration Cards are used to certify that the system is calibrated according to ISO/
IEC 15416:2000(E) and is traceable to NIST standards.
Grading Tab
The Grading tab allows the user to perform the following functions:
• View the overall grade of the bar code.
• Select one of two ways to verify a bar code: Full or Pass/Fail.
• The “Full” option analyzes a bar code in detail and displays the ISO parameters.
Passing Grade Failing Grade
• The “Pass/Fail” option analyzes a bar code in detail and displays “Pass” if the
bar code passed or “Fail” if the bar code failed.
Passing Grade Failing Grade
• Viewing options such as:
Option Description
Contrast Contrast of each scan line on the bar code.
Modulation Allows you to view a modulation error.
Decodability Indicates the measurement of the deviation of the width of bars
and spaces when compared to their ideal widths.
Defects Indicates elements on the correct side of the global threshold
but have deviation in reectance.
OCR Veries the human readable portion of a bar code.
Zoom Allows you to zoom in on an image.

LVS-9510 Information Book 14 of 18
• Verify the following types of codes: linear codes, two-dimensional matrix codes and two-
dimensional multi-row codes.
• View all of the measured parameters individually, which are used to determine why a
bar code has a certain grade. There are numerous parameters listed, depending on the
symbology.
• Checks for Blemishes.
• Height and Width measurements of the bar code.
• Color Code legend which reports ISO/IEC grades by color code.
Zoom Tab
The Zoom tab allows you to further evaluate the quality of bar codes by magnifying the
bar code image up to four times. You can change the position of magnication by clicking
on a different position on the image, and you can also change the horizontal and vertical
position of the image.
SRP View Tab
The SRP (Scan Reectance Prole) tab allows you to further evaluate a bar code error by
selecting what type of error will be super-imposed onto the SRP graph. Options include:
• Element Reectance
• Modulation
• Decodability (width of each element)
• Defects (inection to element reectance)
• Full Screen Waveform
• Traditional Bar Growth and Shrinkage
Structure Tab
Many organizations throughout the world create bar code labels according to a set of
rules used to standardize how bar code data is to be structured in order to easily transfer
trade-related information between two parties. For the most part, these rules were cre-
ated and governed by an international group called ISO/IEC. The Structure tab shows
the data structure analysis of all bar code symbologies.
Archive Tab
When a bar code image is captured, the LVS-9580 analyzes the image and determines if
the image is different from the last bar code image collected. If the image is different, the

software stores the new report and marks it with a le number along with a new date/time
stamp. The Archive Tab allows you to access these various reports and les, which are
stored in an SQL-compatible database. Archive options include:

Our Products
Microscan provides vision inspection systems for both
off-line and in-line applications.
Off-line solutions include the LVS-95XX Series of bar
code veriers which validate the quality and data within
1D and 2D bar code symbologies to ISO, ANSI and GS1
standards. The LVS-95XX Series inspects all nine ISO/
ANSI parameters for 1D bar codes, plus added features
of determining blemishes, opacity and human read-
able validation. Analysis is color coded to show exactly
where the problem is located within the bar code making
problem solving quick and easy. The LVS-95XX Series
of veriers are certied by GS1 US and are 21 CFR Part
11 compliant-ready. The LVS-95XX Series includes the
LVS-9510 (desktop verier), LVS-9570 (hand-held veri-
er) and LVS-9580 (portable, hand-held verier).
In-line process control systems include the LVS-7000,
LVS-7300 and LVS-7500.
The LVS-7000 is a high speed vision system that im-
proves the quality inspection process. The LVS-7000
veries to ISO/IEC standards all bar codes and ma-
trix codes as they are printed, validates sequential or
random number sequences, and fulllls the normal print
quality inspection steps. Features include:
•Delta E Color Process Control – Detects color varia-
tions by comparing the trained color (also called the
master color) to the image color currently displayed in
the eld of view
•Master-to-Label Comparison (Blemish Detection) –
Detects blemishes, smears, skews, missing copy, print
registration and edge determination
•Full ISO (ANSI) verication of 1D and 2D Bar codes,
including Linear, Data Matrix and Stacked codes.
•OCR/OCV Inspection – File Matching; Duplicate
Checking; and Random or Sequential Data Validation
•Roll Inspection Mapping System (RIMS) – Map and
record each error detected on the press
