5. End the reading pulse: Unmask the optical path of the sensor (open the switch).
If the reading has been successful, the red LED is extinguished, the green LED lights up.
The CLP 100 is ready to operate with the default setting of our works.
The CLP 100 can be switched off without the configuration data being lost, since no changes
were carried out to the parameter set.

Operating modes and output of the read result
When parameterizing the CLP 100, it is possible to choose between the following operating
modes:
•
Reading mode
•
Diagnostic mode
•
Adjusting mode
•
On-line test mode
In
reading mode
the CLP 100 detects the presented bar codes and emits the read result at
the end of the reading pulse via the host and terminal interface.
In
diagnosis mode
the quality of the bar code readings is judged. These are brought
statistically into the read field of the CLP (no transport movement). The output is emitted via
the host and terminal interface. For details on the diagnosis mode
refer to Section 6.5.8,
Page 24
In
adjusting mode
the CLP 100 is adjusted to the bar code (
refer to Section 4.3.2, Page 14
In the
on-line test mode
the CLP 100 emits the read result only via the terminal interface
and not via the host interface.
When outputting the read result, it is possible to choose between the normal reading
function and the code comparison function (matchcode). The matchcode function allows
the comparison of the read bar codes with a code which is entered at the CLP 100. It is
possible to select between complete or partial matching of the codes.
6.5
Parameterization
The CLP 100 is adapted to the specifc applications by means of the parameterization.
Parameterization is carried out either with the CLP Setup software or with command strings.
To this purpose a PC has to be connected and the CLP Setup has to be installed. Connection
of the PC to the CLP 100 is described in
. Installation and handling
of the CLP Setup software are described in the appendix (
6.5.1
Transferring the parameter set between the CLP Setup and CLP 100
In order to edit the current parameter set of the CLP 100 it must first be copied from the
CLP 100 to the CLP Setup. This process is designated as
uploading
.
Changes to the parameter set carried out in the CLP Setup are not effective until they have
been transferred to the CLP 100. CLP Setup always copies the complete parameter set.
Saving the parameters to the CLP 100 is designated as
downloading
.
