New QX Hawk Reads Tough Codes


Check out this image of a laser etched code. The code is etched up against the printed box making it tough for most readers. The laser marking has drifted from the center. But at the right distance, the printed box can get washed out a little and the codes can be read.
This code is on an expensive part which must be scrapped if it can't be read.

They had 2 PC's with ESP versions 3.5 and 4.0.

Upgrading to version 5.2 or better eliminated the problem.
