Green The pitch of the readhead is optimum, no adjustment is required.
Orange The pitch of the readhead is within tolerance but adjustment is recommended to
optimise performance. Adjust pitch of the readhead as indicated.
Red The pitch of the readhead is out of tolerance. Adjust pitch of the readhead as indicated.
NOTES:
• Thepitchisnotdisplayedwhenthesignalsizeislessthan10%orwhenthesystemisin
