Start/Stop operation
In this reading operation mode, only one object per reading pulse is located in the reading
area. Two external sensors or command strings control the beginning and end of the read-
ing pulse for the bar code scanner (stand-alone device). The length of the reading area is
determined in this case by the distance of both reading pulse sensors for the start (begin-
ning of the reading area) and stop (end of the reading area). The minimum reading distance
between two objects must always be greater than the length of the reading area.
In the case of combined use with other bar code scanners in a master/slave combination
(e.g. unidirectional double-side reading), the bar code scanner as a slave receives its pulse
signals from another bar code scanner (master). The bar code scanners are networked via
the CAN interface, the output of the master’s reading result via its RS- 232/RS-422/485
interface and/or the Ethernet interface.
Upload
Transfer process of all parameter values from the connected bar code scanner’s working
memory to a PC in the SOPAS-ET configuration software for display and modification. This
is achieved when the device is connected and communication is successfully carried out af-
ter the scanning process for a confirmed request to synchronise the user interface and the
bar code scanner. Where necessary, this can be triggered manually in the Kommunikation
menu (U
PLOAD ALL PARAMETERS FROM DEVICE Parameter values must be represented in the reg-
ister tabs before the current parameter value set can be modified.
User interface
Windows-oriented input interfaces in the SOPAS-ET configuration software for operation
and configuration of the bar code scanner.
