Contents
This section is designed to help you understand the basic structure and elements of
ESP
(Easy Setup Program).
When you open
ESP
, unless otherwise specified in the
ESP Preferences
dialog accessible
from the
Options
heading on the menu toolbar, you will enter
EZ Mode
for initial setup.
From there, you can enter
Application Mode
(
App Mode
) and access three configuration
menus (
Communications
,
Read Cycle
, and
Symbologies
), a
Terminal
interface, and a
Utilities
interface.
ESP
can be used to configure the MS-1 Scan Engine in three main ways:
•
Tree Controls:
Each configuration menu contains a list of all option settings that pertain
to that specific element of MS-1 operation. For example, the
Communications
menu
shows a
Host Port Connections
option, and then a list of the sub-options
Baud Rate
,
Parity
,
Stop Bits
, and
Data Bits
. Each of these sub-options is configurable by using
dropdown menus.
•
Graphic User Interfaces:
MS-1 settings can be configured using such point-and-click
tools as radio buttons, zoom in/zoom out sliders, spin boxes, check boxes, and drag-and-drop
functions.
•
Terminal: ESP
’s
Terminal
allows you to send serial configuration and utility commands
directly to the MS-1 by typing them in the provided text field.
Information about using
ESP
in specific applications is provided in subsequent sections.
