CLV 41x Bar Code Scanner
Function of the configuration cards
Reading Configuration
This card is used to change the scanning frequency, reading distance, resolution,
start/stop ratio and the evaluation range of the scan line.
Device Configuration
This card is used to change the device number, reading pulse, output time of the
reading result and the separator in the data output string as well as the functional
assignment of the three switching outputs Result 1...3 and the beeper.
Code Configuration
This card is used to activate/deactivate the individual code types that are to be
evaluated and to change the number of identical reads as well as the minimum and
maximum number of bar codes to be read/output.
We recommend that you only activate those codes that are actually relevant in order
to enhance the reading reliability with fast applications.

Procedure for setting parameters via the configuration cards
Step
Action
1
Connect the CLV to the PC
2
Start the CLV Setup program on the PC
2
Open the configuration file (*.scl) for the relevant CLV or click the
(upload) icon (CLV transfers the active parameter set to the PC)
3
Modify the required parameters in the configuration cards
4Click the
(download) icon (CLV receives the modified parameter set)
5
Choose the storage option
*)
for the CLV in the dialog window
6
Save the modified parameter set as a new configuration file (*new.scl) on the PC
*) permanently?:
The CLV saves the modified parameter set in the main memory (RAM) to the EEprom.
These values remain stored when you switch off the device. The next time you switch on the CLV, these
values are loaded to the main memory of the CLV and are used as the active parameter set.
temporary?:
The CLV only transfers the modified parameter set to the main memory (RAM). These values are lost
when you switch off the device. The parameter set last stored in the EEprom is loaded to the main
memory and used as the active parameter set the next time you switch on the CLV.

Note:
You can print out and archive new parameter sets by clicking the
icon.
The manual entitled Menu-Driven Parametrization of the CLV Bar Code Scanner
explains the parameters and their functions and can be used as a reference for
more complex applications.
