If reading is successful, the laser switches off. The read result is displayed on the monitor of the con
-
nected device.
Deactivate the reading gate by removing the switching input signal or with the ‘-‘ online command.
10.4 Setting the configuration parameters
You commissioned the device. Usually, you will have to configure it before you can use it. With the config
-
uration possibilities offered by the
Sensor Studio
configuration software or the device DTM, you can indi
-
vidually adapt the device to your specific application.
For instructions regarding the various setting options, refer to the online help or to the see chapter 9.5
• To operate the bar code reader, it is normally sufficient to set code type and code length in accor
-
dance with the bar codes that are to be read.
• Depending on the application, you can configure the switching input according to your requirements.
Configuration settings
The configuration settings are stored in the memory of the bar code reader in parameter sets. The various
parameter sets are explained to understand what is happening during configuration parameter setting (see
chapter 7.3.1 "Parameter sets").
• The setting of code type and code length is usually accomplished by using the
Sensor Studio
config
-
uration software (see chapter 9 "Configuration and diagnostics software - Sensor Studio").
• You can set other configuration parameters as follows:
• via the
Sensor Studio
configuration software using the buttons under CONFIGURATION.
• via the internal setup of the bar code reader (start with the online command CA; see chapter 7.3.1
• via online commands (see chapter 11.1.3 "’Online’ commands for parameter set operations").
10.4.1 Service mode
You can connect a PC or a terminal to the device via the RS 232 interface and configure the device through
this connection (see chapter 6.3 "Connecting").
Setting the required parameters is carried out easiest in the "Service" operating mode.
The Service mode provides the following defined operating parameters on the RS 232 interface, no matter
how the device is configured for process mode:
• Transmission rate: 9600 baud
• No parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• Prefix: STX
• Postfix: CR, LF
Activate service interface
The service interface can be activated by holding a defined bar code label in front of the reading window
during power-up (initialization phase).
