Configuration (Parameterizing)
The ICR is configured locally in accordance with the application at hand. The read, evaluation
and output characteristics can be parameterized as required. The factory default settings or
an application-specific parameter set of the ICR are in effect before changes are made.
The ICR offers two configuration methods:
•
Configuration via the Setup Assistant and the “CLV Setup“ program
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
(see
Chapter 6.3.2 “Configuring the ICR for the application with the Setup Assistant“,
)
•
Configuration via command strings
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
(see
Chapter 10.5 “Configuring the ICR with command strings“, Page 10-25
In Parameter Mode, the ICR outputs only a reading result when using the Setup Asisstant.
6.4.1
Configuring the ICR with the user interface of CLV Setup
To be able to use “CLV Setup“, a PC must be connected and the program installed on it. The
procedure for connecting the PC to the ICR is described in Section
“Connecting the PC“, Page 5-12
respectively
Chapter 5.5.6 “Connecting the Ethernet
. Installation and startup of “CLV Setup“ and operation of the user
interface are described in the appendix (Section
Chapter 10.3 “Installation and operating
instructions for the PC-based “CLV Setup“ program“, Page 10-3
).
Transferring parameter sets between CLV Setup and the ICR
Upload
When the ICR is being parameterized, CLV Setup runs in the
offline mode
. To be able to
modify the current parameter set of the ICR, this first has to be loaded to CLV Setup from
the ICR. This procedure is referred to as an
upload
("Upload from ICR" in the ICR 84x menu
or [F3] key) during which CLV Setup always loads a complete copy of the current ICR
parameter set. This parameter set remains unchanged until it is overwritten by CLV Setup.
With the help of the
context menu
(right mouse button), only the parameter just edited can
be loaded ("Upload parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog
box ("Upload parameters of this view") from the ICR’s memory (RAM).
Download
Changes made to the current parameter set in CLV Setup do not take effect until the
parameter set has been transferred to the ICR. CLV Setup always sends a copy of the
complete parameter set to the ICR, i. e. all of the existing parameter values in the ICR are
overwritten. The procedure for transferring and saving the parameter values in the ICR is
referred to as a
download
("Download to ICR" in the ICR 84x menu or [F4] key).
With the help of the
context menu
(right mouse button), only the parameter just edited
("Download parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog box
("Download parameters of this view") will be
temporarily
loaded into the ICR’s memory
(RAM). To finish the parametrization done by this way all parameters must be download
again to the CLV with the "
Permanent
" option.
