TCNM-AD/EX/SP Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide
26
The format of the string displayed on the terminal emulator is fixed and cannot be modified through the No Read
String parameter nor the Data Format parameter group. Each field is separated by a space character and the string is
terminated by <CR> <LF>. In case of No Read the test string message is fixed: "No Read"<CR><LF>.
Test Mode Data Tx
When working in Test mode, this parameter allows activating a further filter for the selection of the transmission
channel in addition to the one provided by the Data Tx parameter available for each communication channel.
Selections:
Disable
Do not send test data over any interface
Main
Send test data only over the Main interface
Aux
Send test data only over the Auxiliary interface
Main & Aux
Send test data over the Main and Auxiliary interfaces
All Selected Ch ID-NET™
Send test data over all
selected
interface channels (Data Tx
checked): Fieldbus or Main, Aux, and on the ID-NET™
interface for MULTIDATA Slaves.
Verifier
NOTE
If using an ID-NET™ network for In-Line Code Verifier applications, it is advised to use an ID-NET™
Controller as Master instead of a scanner Master. This avoids Master reconfiguration (which necessarily
causes an entire network reset); since all reading devices will be Slaves, configuration updates with a
new Verifier Code only cause individual Slave scanner resets.
This operating mode condition allows the scanner to verify that all codes read and decoded match the string saved in
its memory. It is valid when using On Line, Automatic and Continuous Operating Modes.
If the code read matches the code verifier string then it is sent to the host through the configured port. If it does not
match the verifier string, it can be sent or not depending on the Wrong Code Tx parameter. Independently from the
Wrong Code transmission, a Wrong String message can be defined and sent indicating the error.
The Code Verifier String can be stored in the scanner memory using two different methods.
1.
By writing the string in the Verifier Code parameter.
It is possible to define the string by inserting:
all printable characters
non printable ASCII characters available in the list which appears by right-clicking when inside the
parameter edit box
*
= defining any string consisting of an undefined number of characters (it may be empty)
?
= identifying any character to be found in the position indicated within the string
If your application requires inserting ?, * and NUL as characters, it is necessary to use the following syntax:
? character = <NUL>?
* character = <NUL>*
NUL character = <NUL>00
other extended ASCII characters = <NUL>xy, where xy identifies the character hex value
2.
By reading the string from a barcode while the Input defined in the Store Input parameter is active.
The input must be activated before the reading phase starts, the verifier code must be read and then after the
end of the reading phase the input must be deactivated.
After reading the code, check that the string in the Verifier Code parameter is correct, in GeniusPlus or through
the GeniusPlus-based Host Mode Programming.
The Digital Outputs can be driven by the Right or Wrong events.
