LVS-9570 Information Book 4of 12
Features
The LVS-9570 is a 1D and 2D handheld bar code verier designed for ofine verication
of bar codes to ISO/IEC standards. The LVS-9570 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
using a lightweight, handheld verier; 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:
Inspection
Inspects all nine of the ISO (ANSI) parameters, plus added features of determining
blemishes, opacity, and human readable validation. The LVS-9570 also veries 2D codes
and reports all parameters as specied in the applicable symbology specication.
Detailed Analysis
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 problem.
Reference to an online Help screen aids in the analysis.
Advanced Technology
Sensor technology allows more detailed analysis of the bar code, and makes reading of
small and truncated codes possible, accurate and easy.
Numerous Verication Options
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 Composite Codes)
can be veried on one label within the eld of view.
ISO Grading
ISO grades bar codes on various label sizes.
Accurate
The LVS-9570 is the most accurate handheld verier on the market today with the highest
degree of accuracy and repeatability.
Reliable
The LVS-9570 is the most reliable handheld verier on the market.

Tabs

CALIBRATION TAB
The Calibration tab is where calibration of the system occurs. An EAN/UPC NIST
traceable Calibrated Conformance Test Card (test card) used for calibrating the LVS-9570.
The test card is provided by GS1 to ensure the LVS-9570 is calibrated according to ISO/
IEC 15416:2000(E) and is traceable to NIST standards.
GRADING TAB
The Grading tab performs the following functions:
• Indicates the overall grade of the bar code.
• Single or Multi-bar code Verication
• Allows you to 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.
•The “Pass/Fail” option should be selected if you are not interested in the detailed
analysis of the bar code and are more interested in whether the bar code meets
your company’s minimum ISO grade requirements.
• Viewing options such as:
• 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 Opacity and Blemishes.
• Height and Width measurements of the bar code.
• Color Code legend which reports ISO/IEC grades by color code.

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 view small labels

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)
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 created and
governed by an international group called ISO/IEC. The Structure tab shows the data
structure analysis of all bar code symbologies.
ARCHIVE TAB
The LVS-9570 constantly monitors the bar code image and determines if it 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:
• Import Image from File
• Export Image to File
• Recent Reports (last 30 days)
• Delete Prior to Specic Date
• Software Version History Files
• Audit Trail Report
