Startup and configuration
7.4
First startup
The SOPAS-ET configuration software optimises the bar code scanner to the reading condi-
tions on site. Starting point for this is the factory default setting which can be adjusted to
optimise the bar code scanner. The SOPAS-ET configuration software is used to create an
application-specific parameter set which can be loaded permanently into the bar code scan-
ner and saved/archived as a project file (spr file with configuration data) on the PC.
Fig. 7-1:
Configuration with SOPAS-ET
If the bar code scanner is connected to a connection module with parameter memory mode
CMC600, the parameter set is saved permanetly to the CMC600 with every permanent stor-
age of the parameter set to the bare code scanner.
After the bar code scanner is restarted, the data from the CMC600 is automatically trans-
ferred to the bar code scanner. As such, a bar code scanner can be exchanged, for example,
without losing configuration data (see
chapter 8.5 Replacing a bar code scanner, page 68
