Configuration
Configuration of the BCL 208i usually takes place via the HOST interface using the integrated webConfig
tool. Alternatively, the bar code readers can be configured via the host/service interface using configuration
commands.
The bar code reader needs a suitable activation to start a read process as soon as an object is in the read-
ing field. This opens a time window ("reading gate") in the bar code reader for the read process during
which the bar code reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alternative activation
options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct function.
Through the read operation, the bar code reader collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnostics
which can also be transmitted to the host. The quality of the read operation can be inspected using the
alignment mode which is integrated in the webConfig tool.
