Monitor Host Interface
Function of the
auxiliary interface
. In this mode, the ICR outputs the data traffic of its host
interface via the auxiliary interface. Protocol driver handshakes and protocol-specific data,
such as start and stop characters, are suppressed here (
).
Each data string is
displayed on a separate line on the screen.
The data communication of the
auxiliary interface
can also be routed via the Ethernet
interface. The physical auxiliary interface (RS 232) will then become disabled. See
Chapter 5.5.6 “Connecting the Ethernet interface“, Page 5-10

CLV Setup copies the parameter temporary to the ICR.
The auxiliary interface then operates in “Monitor Host Interface“ mode until the ICR is
switched off again.

On Good Read, the CLV only outputs the number of read bar codes being defined for
maximum on the C

Reading distances:
ICR 840 (standard type): 80 mm (3.15 in) for side/front reading window. Available
reading area size at this reading distance: 40 mm x 32 mm (1.58 in x 1.26 in).
Note
To read a bar code, proceed as described in
“Displaying the reading result in the
Terminal Emulator“, Page 6-29.
