The ‘#’ column is the radio command number (in hexadecimal) to be used with the ‘:’ command. For
example, “:%0E” gets the Bluetooth

10 Code Reader Batch (CRB) System
The Code Reader Batch (CRB) system is a convenient method for creating and maintaining a set of
commands that can be easily sent to the Reader. These CRB files can be created in any text editor with
the file extension of .crb. The CRB system accepts all of the valid text commands. The most commonly
used commands are C, J, N, P, and ~. There should be one command per line. The CRB file may contain
empty lines and comments as well.
