Sample programs for multi-drop link
The following program (QBASIC) is an example of a serial communication program
for multi-drop link mode and multi-head mode.
The bar code data read by the BL series, along with the transmitted command and
response to the command can be displayed.
Enter the commands using the keyboard and press the [Return] key to send the
command.
Set the N-400 as follows:
• Header: None
• Delimiter: [CR]
• Handshaking protocol: No handshaking or PASS/RTRY protocol
