This chapter describes how to configure the MS-3000 single decoder by

serial commands from a host.

All of the configuration parameters that can be changed in the menus with

the exception of Full Screens, as described in Chapter 2, “Menu Configu-

ration,” can also be changed by serial configuration commands.

All of the serial configuration parameters, with the exception of Trigger Filter

Timing Value, also appear in the menus.

In addition, most of these configuration parameters can also be changed

with a Microscan profile card (P/N 99-500011-01), obtainable from your

Microscan representative. (See Chapter 4, “Profile Card Configuration.”)

1. The decoder communicates in full duplex, terminal mode with no handshake. It also recognizes carriage

returns and line feeds. The host or ASCII terminal with must match the following default settings before

any communication can take place: 9600 Baud Rate, Seven Data Bits, Even Parity, and One Stop Bit. If

communicating from an auxiliary terminal via the auxiliary port (pins18 and 19 of the 25 pin connector),

the serial command <D> (Enter Menu Configuration Program) is the only command that the decoder will

recognize.
