Configuring (parameterization) the CLV
The CLV adapts to the reading situation locally with the configuration. The read, evaluation
and output characteristics can, therefore, be parameterized as required on the basis of the
factory default settings or an application-specific CLV parameter set that has already been
created.
The CLV supports two different configuration methods:
•
Configuration via the "CLV-Setup" program
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
•
Configuration via command strings
(parameter values are set via the serial interface).

.
In the Parameterization mode, the CLV outputs no reading result.
6.4.1
Configuring the CLV via the user interface of CLV-Setup
To be able to use CLV-Setup, a PC has to be connected and the program installed on it. The
procedure for connecting the PC to the CLV is described in
. The procedures for installing and starting the "CLV-Setup" program and for
starting and operating the user interface are described in the Appendix (
Installing and operating the "CLV-Setup" program, Page 10-43
Transferring a parameter set between CLV-Setup and the CLV
Upload
When the CLV is being parameterized, CLV-Setup runs in the
offline mode
. To be able to
modify the current parameter set of the CLV, this first has to be loaded to CLV-Setup from
the CLV. This procedure is referred to as an
upload
("Upload from CLV" in the CLV 490
menu or [F3] key) during which CLV-Setup always loads a complete copy of the current CLV
parameter set. This parameter set remains unchanged until it is overwritten by CLV-Setup.
With the help of the
context menu
(right mouse button), only the parameter just edited can
be loaded ("Upload parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog
box ("Upload parameters of this view") from the CLV’s memory (RAM).
Download
Changes made to the current parameter set in CLV-Setup do not take effect until the
parameter set has been transferred to the CLV. CLV-Setup always sends a copy of the
complete parameter set to the CLV, i. e. all of the existing parameter values in the CLV are
overwritten. The procedure for transferring and saving the parameter values in the CLV is
referred to as a
download
("Download to CLV" in the CLV 490 menu or [F4] key).
With the help of the
context menu
(right mouse button), only the parameter just edited
("Download parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog box
("Download parameters of this view") will be
temporarily
loaded into the CLV’s memory
(RAM). To finish the parametrization done by this way all parameters must be download
again to the CLV with the "
Permanent
" option.
Loading a complete CLV parameter set (upload)
¾
Click
in the toolbar or press [F3] key.
CLV-Setup loads the current CLV parameter set from the RAM of the CLV to its
database and displays the values in the tabs.
The "Device Ready" LED is extinguished during the upload.
