Possible Causes:
Tracking is not enabled.
In WinMark Pro v6, check that Track Marking Object (on the Drawing object’s Marking tab) is Yes.
Encoder pulses are not being read by the FH Flyer head.
Close WinMark Pro and open Digital Scope (DigScope.exe). Rotate the conveyor or position encoder and
verify that input IN1 and input IN2 toggle as the encoder rotates through its range of motion.
The part sensor signal is not being read by the FH Flyer head.
Close WinMark Pro and open Digital Scope (DigScope.exe). Trigger the part sensor and verify that input
IN0 toggles as the part sensor activates.
Part movement is not being sensed in the proper direction.
In WinMark Pro, toggle the Invert Encoder Direction property on the “Device” tab under Tools / General
Settings… .
A physical part sensor is not installed.
Enable the Internal Part Trigger property (on the “Device” tab under Tools / General Settings…) and then
enter a Part Pitch value.
A position encoder is not installed.
Enable Encoderless Tracking (on the “Device” tab under Tools / General Settings…) and then enter a
Product Line Speed value equal to conveyor or part velocity.

Characters or graphics within the mark are missing.
Possible Causes:
The mark is not being completed within the extents of the Tracking Window.
Open the mark le in WinMark Pro and ensure that the mark is positioned as close to the upstream edge
