Introduction Programming the Reader
12 Gryphon™ I GFS4400
Datalogic Aladdin™
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration
application. Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. It communicates to the device
through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. Selected configuration commands
are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface using a serial or USB cable, or
they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a soft
ware upgrade for the connected device (see the
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
Aladdin is available for free downlo
ad from the Datalogic website.
Software Configuration Strings
The reader can also be configured by using command strings. These strings can be sent via the
RS232/USB-COM interface using a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal.
Refer to"Software Configuration Strings" starting on page 217 for configuration procedures using
Serial Strings sent by the Host."
