SINE (Sinusoidal) Targets & Arrays
-
Sinusoidal Target Arrays have been recognized as a superior test method for a variety of applications, from moiré contouring to reliable MTF Evaluation of materials, lenses, cameras, and electro-optical systems (Follow the hyperlink to learn about using Sinusoids for MTF eval). Sinusoidal Pattern Arrays are manufactured on two different materials for both reflective and transmissive applications. Because of the inherent limitations of reflective materials, the maximum spatial frequency of the reflective pattern arrays is limited to 20 cycles per mm, while the transmission film arrays are offered in various sizes up to 256 cycles per mm. In addition, the sinusoidal arrays are available in a Single Frequency Grating or with Multi-Frequency Gratings. If instead of continuous sinusoidal frequency, you are looking for a square wave frequency design, then look to the Ronchi Gratings page. Should you need to alter the size of the pattern or the substrate, fill out our Custom Test Targets and Charts form and start the conversation.

SINE M-13-60 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-13-60 is designed to be used for evaluating systems that work in the reflective mode such as scanners, machine vision systems and cameras. It is imaged on Photo Paper in four different sizes getting larger from 1X – 8X. The ½X and 1X slides incorporate the same spatial frequencies. Spatial frequencies for the 2X, 4X and 8X versions are 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 respectively.

Individual UPC Bar Code Standards
-
The UPC Verification Calibration standards are a unique set of symbols that assures an exact and reliable primary bar code standard exists for UPC codes based on ANSI X3.182/ISO 15416 methodology. These standards assures that manufactures of verification equipment, scanners, QC labs and end users now have an accurate basis for checking the measurement capabilities of their equipment. These standards are intended as a fundamental calibration tool for an QC program, providing a continuous scale from best to worse case characteristics of each parameter. With complete NIST traceable data supplied, it is ideally suited to those requiring traceability, such as ISO certification. Each symbol is individually calibrated to ANSI X3.182/ISO 15416 standards using a custom built microdensitometer. These cards are supplied calibrated for use with a 6 mil scan aperture and 660nm wavelength. (calibration wit other aperture sizes or wavelengths is available)

Barcode Conformance Calibration Standards
-
Barcode symbol quality has been at the forefront of discussion among practitioners in the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) industry since they were invented in 1951. Barcodes became commercially successful when they were used to automate checkout systems at grocery stores, with the very first scanning of the Universal Product Code (UPC) on a pack of Wrigley Company chewing gum in June 1974. The Uniform Code Council (UCC) published barcode quality guidelines, and ANSI X3.182-1990 became the first published standard for barcode quality. Since then, ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D symbols and ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D symbols have become the global standards for grading printed barcodes.
