Address Stamping
It is possible to include the reader address in the message sent to the host. The Reader
Address Stamping and the Cradle Address Stamping parameters consist of a 4-digit number in
the range 0000 to 1999.
For message output format, refer to "Message Formatting" starting on page 169
Address Delimiter
The Address Delimiter allows a character to be included to separate the reader Address
stamping field from the next field in the message. Any character can be included in the
hexadecimal range from 00 to FE.
For message output format, refer to "Message Formatting" starting on page 169.
Time Stamping Format
The Time Stamping parameter sets the format for hour and date information. It consists of
1 or 2 groups of numbers, each one made up of 6 decimal digits.
For example, setting the Hour/Minutes/Seconds/Month/Day/Year format, the information
17:
03:16 on June 12, 2009 will be formatted as
170316061209.

Reading Parameters
Trigger Signal
This mode determines how the reading phase is controlled when the hardware trigger
operating mode is selected:
• trigger active level: the reader goes ON whe
n the trigger is pressed and goes OFF when
it is released
• trigger active pulse: the reader goes ON at the first trigger press and goes OFF only at
a second pr
ess
Reads per Cycle
In general, a reading cycle corresponds to the ON + OFF times of a device.
The resulting effects of this parameter on code
reading depend on other related
configuration conditions. Here are the definitions of ON and OFF times.
• For readers using the software trigger parameter (FL
ASH MODE), a reading cycle
corresponds to the flash on + flash off times. Code reading takes place during the flash
on time.
• For readers using the har
dware trigger parameter, a reading cycle corresponds to a trig-
ger press (ON) + one of the following OFF events:
- trigger release (for trigger activ
e level)
- a second trigger press (for trigger active pulse)
