Lomalink
Select this option if you wish to create a connection with the LomaLink application for two-
way communication and control.
LomaLink enables data to be requested from and sent to the metal detector, and enables
remote control of the metal detector.
O
Reports
Select this option if you wish to send Reports and Logs over the serial connection either
manually or automatically. See
Logs and Reports for further details.

Select this option if you wish to send product resultant signals over the serial connection. If
a Product Registration Photo-eye is fitted then a signal is sent for each pack as it is
inspected. If a Product Registration Photo-eye is not fitted then the current signal is sent
over the connection about once a second.

settings are chosen they must match those used by the equipment the detector is
communicating with.
