ONLINE HELP SOPAS Parameters Chapter 5 LECTOR®620 5.4.1.3.3 Contrast The Contrast parameter is used to set the gamma correction in % and adapt it to the code contrast. The gamma correction can be set via the slide control. If the optical difference between black and white code elements is minimal, the parameter should be set to a high value until the code elements can be clearly distinguished. To monitor the contrast, the data in the Code infobox (CONTRAST) can be evaluated: • 100%: Max.
