Configuration and diagnostics software - Sensor Studio

The 

Sensor Studio

 configuration software provides a graphical user interface for operation, configuration 

and diagnosis of the device via the RS 232 service interface.
A device that is not connected to the PC can be configured offline.
Configurations can be saved and reopened as projects for transferring back to the device at a later time.

The 

Sensor Studio

 configuration software is designed according to the FDT/DTM concept:

• You make the individual configuration settings for the bar code reader in the Device Type Manager 

(DTM).

• The individual DTM configurations of a project can be called up via the frame application of the Field 

Device Tool (FDT).

• Communication DTM for bar code readers: 

LeCommInterface

• Device DTM for BCL 8 bar code reader

Procedure for the installation of the software and hardware:

Install the 

Sensor Studio

 configuration software on the PC. Install the communication and device DTM. 

Communication and device DTMs are included in the 

LeAnalysisCollectionSetup

 installation package.

Create the device DTM for BCL 8 in the project tree of the 

Sensor Studio

 FDT frame.

Connect the bar code reader to the PC (see chapter  "Connecting").

Activate service interface on bar code reader (see chapter  "Activate service interface").
