Product description
4.6.13
Digital outputs
With certain events in the reading process (e.g. for unsuccessful decoding "No Read"), two
independent switch signals can be generated at both digital outputs and can be used, e.g.,
to display the event status.
Important
The switching outputs "Result 1" and "Result 2" are only available on the standard version
of the bar code scanner. For the Ethernet version of the bar code scanner, the two outputs
are only available with the connection module CDB620/CDM420 in combination with the
parameter memory module CMC600.

User interface
The bar code scanner is configured application-specifically using the SOPAS-ET configura-
tion software (see
chapter 7.4.1 Overview of the startup procedure, page 68
). The software
for this runs on a PC which must be connected to one of the two data interfaces (aux inter-
face: Ethernet or RS-232, host interface: RS-232/RS-422/485 or Ethernet) of the bar code
scanner.
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, command strings are available
upon which the user interface of the SOPAS-ET configuration software is based (see
chapter 11.2 Configuring the bar code scanner with command strings, page 109
In case of an error, startup and diagnosis can be carried out via the SOPAS-ET configuration
software. The bar code scanner operates fully automated in normal operation.
Note
The digital outputs can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software:
