Appendix
Entering a bar code using a terminal/PC keyboard
1. Connect the terminal /PC with Terminal Emulation program to the terminal interface on
the CLX (via AMV/S 60). For the pin assignment, see Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the PC,
Page 5-15 .
2. Set the communication parameters and data output format as shown in Table 10-7 .
3. Enter the data content of the bar code on the keyboard.
The terminal sends the individual characters to the CLX immediately.
Use the backspace key to correct input errors.
4. Terminate the data content with the control character <CR>.
The CLX then interprets all further characters as a new data string and ignores other
control characters. The data content itself must not contain any control characters.
5. Once the active reading pulse has ended, the CLX sends the data received from the PC
to the host via the host interface.
Entering bar codes using a handheld scanner with decoder
1. Connect the handheld scanner with decoder to the terminal interface of the CLX (via
AMV/S 60). For the pin assignment, see Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the PC, Page 5-15 .
2. Set the data format and communication parameters on the handheld scanner as shown
in Table 10-7 .
3. Read the bar code with the handheld scanner.
Once the active reading pulse has ended, the CLX sends the data received from the PC
to the host via the host interface.
If you are using the ST 1100 decoder from SICK, for example, set the communication pa-
rameters and data output as shown in Table 10-8 .
