Configuring the ICR with command strings
The ICR can be parameterized and operated via the auxiliary interface and the host
interface. Parameters that are not recognized by CLV Setup can also be used by following
the conventions for command strings. This enables special devices, for example, to be
parameterized and new ICR parameters to be configured which may not be recognized by
the CLV Setup program if this is older than the software on the ICR. The CLV Setup user
interface is based on the command language.
The command language accesses the ICR command interpreter directly. It must be used
carefully. The commands sent to the ICR are executed immediately. Parameter values that
have been changed by commands are initially only active in the current parameter set in the
RAM of the ICR. Using a special command, the modified parameter set must also be copied
to the EEPROM so that it can be stored permanently. Otherwise, the changes will be lost
when the power supply is switched off.
The online mode of the Terminal Emulator in CLV Setup enables the ICR to be parameterized
directly with command strings.

The ICR cancels Reading mode. The “Device Ready“ LED is extinguished.
CLV Setup switches the ICR to the Parameterization mode by issuing an appropriate
command.
In the Parameter mode, all commands begin with the number “3“.

key.
The command is then sent to the ICR.
With a few exceptions, the ICR replies to a command with correct syntax with an echo.
Example:
Entering “3?LT“ causes the ICR to output the parameter values of the reading pulse in
encoded form in the output window
