Appendix
Command strings, commands
User interface to the bar code scanner, as an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware. The command string form a clearly structured command language for changing the
parameter value sets in the bar code scanner online. Directly accesses the command inter-
preter of the bar code scanner. Use of the host requires a corresponding programming task.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software is based on the command strings.
Configuration file
Project file for the SOPAS-ET configuration software in which either only one complete pa-
rameter value set for a device or, if several devices are grouped into one project, the com-
plete parameter value set for each device, is saved for archiving on the PC. The project file
can be expressed as a table, transferred to the Windows clipboard or provided as a PDF.
Data output string
A structured data telegram for the reading results in two independent data output formats
that the bar code scanner itself prepares for output from its database. The output formats
can be output via the Host interface to the physical data interfaces RS-232/RS-422/485,
Ethernet or CAN. The design of the output formats is flexible (sequence of the code seg-
ments and elements, link with event conditions, filters, sorters etc.) and can be widely
adapted to the application-specific requirements.
Decoder, decoding
From the code type-dependent analysis routine to reconstruction of the codes read in elec-
tronic form, in order to decipher the data content.
Default setting
The factory default setting of all of the bar code scanner’s parameter values is saved in its
permanent memory and can be reloaded at any time when the device is connected using
the CLV62x menu to the bar code scanner’s working memory. This rejects all changes that
were made in an application-specific configuration if they were not permanently saved in
SOPAS-ET after the request. If necessary, the data connection to the bar code scanner itself
is lost.
However, the application-specific basic setting enables all parameter values except for
those for the communication parameter to be set to the factory default settings. The existing
communication with the bar code scanner remains unaffected.
