# How can I set up verification?

To set up verification for your DataMan 8600 Verifier, please consult the chapter Getting Started in the DataMan 8600 Series Handheld Verifier Reference Manual, where the initial calibration is described. Afterwards, the Verification tab displays a green icon next to System Calibrated. To upgrade your DataMan 8600 for verifier status please consult Upgrading a Device for Verification in the DataMan 8600 Series Handheld Verifier Reference Manual.

After the initial calibration, to read symbols and view verification results, perform the following steps:

- Navigate to Settings > Code Quality.

- Under the Verification tab, check Verification Enabled.

- Select the Code Quality Toolview (activate by clicking Code Quality under View).

- Place the verifier against the symbol and squeeze the trigger. The symbol must be centered within the field of view, and the reader must be perpendicular to the surface containing the symbol and at the correct rotation. The verifier stand-off must be used to ensure correct symbol presentation and lighting requirements for the AIM-DPM/ ISO/IEC TR 29158 Quality Guideline.

- Move the reader until the center of the red rectangle lies within the green target rectangle in the Image Pane. The reader beeps to indicate that the symbol has been read and verified.

You can see the results of verification on the Code Quality Toolview window. For each read selected on the Result History toolview, the verification metrics are shown in the Code Quality Toolview. On the top you can see the overall grade given to the code that was read.

Property lists the individual metrics, Value is the value difference between what was read and what was the threshold for these individual metrics. Grade is the code quality grade that was given to the metric (a colored icon also appears in this row; green = pass, red = fail, yellow = value is on the threshold). Average is based on the last 100 reads of that metric.

Note that when you calibrate the reader it calibrates all enabled lighting options and uncalibrates any lighting options that are not enabled. If you enable an uncalibrated lighting option, the device becomes uncalibrated. If you try to perform verification with an uncalibrated reader, it will return a failure tone and it will not verify any symbol. Recalibrate the device to be able to do verification again.

On how to use the results in data formatting, please consult the DataMan 8600 Series Handheld Verifier Reference Manual.
