Overview of Matchcode
Using Master Symbols
1. Set Triggering Mode to External or Serial (see “Trigger” on page 4-5 ).
2. Set Matchcode Type to an option that fits your application (see “Matchcode
Type” on page 7-4 ).
3. Define the output you want with your matchcode setup:
a) Data output ( “Symbol Data Output” on page 6-3 ).
b) Discrete output (see
Chapter 6, “Output 1 Parameters”“Output 1 Param-
eters” on page 6-16 ).
4. Enter master symbol data in one of the following ways:
a) Use ESP to type in master symbol data directly into the Utilities menu.
b) Send a <G> command to scan next symbol in as the master symbol.
Enable the New Master Pin command and activate a discrete input to store the next
symbol scanned as the master symbol (see “New Master Pin” on page 7-9 ).
Other Master Symbol Serial Commands

will delete the current master symbol.
See also “Master Symbol” on page 9-11 for more information details on using ESP
for entering, requesting, and deleting master symbols.
Usage: Matchcode is used in applications to sort, route, or verify data based on
matching the specific symbol in a variety of ways as defined in this sec-
tion. For example, a manufacturer might sort a product based on dates
that are embedded in the symbol.
Definition: With Matchcode you can store master symbol data in the scanner’s
memory, compare this data against the scanned symbols, and define how
symbol data and/or discrete signal output will be directed.
