Press the
Key to
increment the Gain Number
then press the
Key and
record the resulting TOF Value.
Repeat this step for each of the
remaining Gain Numbers (01-
31).
GAIN TRAN <yyy>
*31 <0 - 31>
Or, for reflective media:
GAIN REFL <yyy>
*31 <0 - 31>
12
From the collected data, where
both the values are above 20,
subtract the Label Value from
the corresponding TOF Value to
find the Difference Value.
Note the Gain Number of the
largest Difference Value.
GAIN TRAN <yyy>
*31 <0 - 31>
Or, for reflective media:
GAIN REFL <yyy>
*31 <0 - 31>
For example in the table
below, Gain Number 08 is
chosen because it has the
highest Difference Value
(146) where both the Label
and the TOF Values are
above 20.
