Single-Scanner and Multi-Scanner Applications
DS8100 Serial Interface version is provided with two standard interfaces allowing
easy use and connection and is therefore suitable for single-reader applications.
DS8100 Bus Interface version is particularly suited for multi-scanner applications. It is
provided with a Lonworks network for connections with other DS8100s and with an
SC8000 unit which performs real time data collection and control of the reading
station.
Flexibility
The high frequency laser diode modulation system guarantees complete immunity to
ambient light and allows installation of the DS8100 in any working area.
The DS8100 Serial Interface is easy configurable by means of the Windows-based
user-friendly WinHost utility program provided on diskette.
It can also be configured from a Host PC through the Host Mode procedure or using
the built-in keypad through the Keyboard Mode procedure.
