iVu Plus Communications Overview
Serial and Ethernet Output
The iVu Plus provides for communicating with other devices via Ethernet or a UART serial communications port (RS-232). In order to
establish an Ethernet connection to the sensor, the external device must be configured with the correct IP address and correct TCP port
to communicate. If planning to use the serial communications connection, port settings for baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits must
be configured on the iVu Plus to match the settings of the external device.
The iVu Plus BCR RS232 port or ethernet port can be used to output barcode data to other applications. To access the Data Export
screen, go to Main Menu > System > Communications > Data Export . The user can enable or disable this feature. When enabled:
• if the sensor is configured for either External-Single or External-Gated trigger modes, every trigger results in the transmission of out-
put data (if the sensor does not successfully read a barcode, the output will be NO_READ).
• if the sensor is configured for Continuous trigger mode, the sensor will only transmit output barcode data upon a successful read.
To access the Serial Output screen, go to Main Menu > System > Communications > Serial I/O
