2 Using ESP
Contents
This section is designed to help you understand the basic structure and elements of ESP
( E asy S etup P rogram).
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 App Mode , where you can access several configuration menus:
Communications , Read Cycle , Symbologies , I/O Parameters , Symbol Quality ,
Matchcode , and Diagnostics , as well as a Camera Setup interface, a Terminal interface,
and a Utilities interface.
ESP can be used to configure the MicroHAWK Engine in three different ways:
• Tree Controls: Each configuration menu contains a list of all commands and command
parameters that pertain to that specific element of reader operation. For example, the I/O
Parameters menu shows a Calibration Options command (which corresponds to the
<K529> serial command), and then a list of the parameters Gain , Exposure , Symbol
Type , Window of Interest Framing , Window of Interest Margin , Linescan Height , and
Processing . Each of these parameters is configurable dropdown menus and spin boxes.
• Graphic User Interfaces: Reader settings can be configured using radio buttons, sliders,
spin boxes, check boxes, and various drag-and-drop functions.
• Terminal: ESP ’s Terminal allows you to send serial commands directly to the reader by
typing them in the Send text field.
Information about using ESP in specific applications is provided in subsequent sections.
For ESP system requirements, see Minimum System Requirements in the Install ESP
step of the Quick Start section.
