Value Range:0.01 to 650.0
Default Value:5.0
Units:milliseconds
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block

The maximum length of time the laser will turn on. Sometimes, for very dark materials or scanning at a distance, a larger MaxLaserOn value is needed to get a good scan. If Laser View data is all red and missing in some places along the scan, then increasing this value may help. This can also be important in encoder-driven scanning , to ensure that two interleaved scanners won't overlap and cause cross talk.

DefaultLaserOn 

 

Value Range:0.01 to 650.0
Default Value:(MinLaserOn + MaxLaserOn)/2
Units:milliseconds
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block
Firmware Req:1945 and later

The laser on time used initially , and whenever too few profile points are found. It DefaultLaserOn is too low, then dark objects may not be detected, and if . If too few points are found then , the autoexposure auto-exposure won't determine that it should drive up the exposure. Raising the DefaultLaserOn will usually fix the problem.

Value Range:1 to 100
Default Value:100
Units:percentage
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block
Firmware Req:565 and later

What ImagePercentage specifies what percentage of the image to use to find data points. This value is inversely proportionate to the maximum number of scans you can get per second, barring exposure limitations. For example, if you only use 20% of the image, you can get up to 1000 scans per second, assuming the exposure time doesn't exceed 1 ms. Image reading starts from the far end of the scanner's view and moves closer.

Value Range:0 to 1023
Default Value:120
Units:brightness
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block

The LaserThreshold is the minimum brightness a data point must have to be considered a valid data point. If ambient light is causing spurious stray data points, raising this value can help. If the laser is not being detected on a piece's darker parts, lowering this value can help. This value is generally set between 80 and 200.

AutoexposeLaser 

 

Value Range:true or false
Default Value:true
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block

This will cause the scanner to automatically control the exposure time, ensuring quality data on a wide range of surfaces. Set this parameter to false only if you want the laser exposure time to remain constant for a specific purpose.

...

 

Value Range:0 to 1023
Default Value:800
Units:brightness
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block

This is how bright a data point must be to be considered saturated. Only up to SaturatedPercentage of the data points are allowed to have a brightness over this level.

...

 

Value Range:1 to 100
Default Value:30
Units:percentage
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block

The maximum percentage of the pixels in a scan that are allowed to be as bright as the SaturatedIntensity.

BackgroundSubtraction 

 

Note
titleImportant Note
On JS-25 models, BackgroundSubtraction is not supported and will be ignored.
Value Range:true or false
Default Value:true
Location:inside a ScannerConfig block

Enabling background subtraction substantially improves the scanner's ambient light immunity, but it also cuts the maximum scan rate in half.
