To program the CLV scanner, activate the CLV Utility
Software and use the “Upload” icon to upload the contents
of the CLV scanner. Refer to figure 3-2. This procedure
displays the current settings of the CLV scanner and cre-
ates a working parameter file. Other options to create a
working file are to select “New” or “Open” on an existing file
saved to the disk. Once a working file has been created
you can make the necessary changes. After changes are
completed, use the “Download” icon to download the new
changes to the CLV scanner.
If you want the CLV scanner to retain the new changes
permanently in the EE prom, select “Permanent” when the
“Choose Download Options” box is displayed. Refer to
Figure 3-2. If you select “Temporary” the new changes will
be held in the CLV scanner’s RAM memeory.
Note: Since the CLV only has a single communications
interface there are certain parameters (baud rate, protocol
framing characters, network mode) which will prevent the
CLV from communicating with the CLV utility software. The
software will automatically determine baud rate and proto-
col framing characters. Use the icons
shown to the right or the “default” bar code to
establish communication. The Configuration
Profile default parameter bar code is includ-
ed. Simply scan it to set communication defaults or
program the CLV within 5 seconds after power up as the
communication default are set temporarily.

UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING
This section describes the modes of CLV operation and includes an extensive discussion of parameterization, the process used
to configure the CLV to best accommodate your particular application.
The CLV can be programmed using the Windows-based CLV Utility Software (included) or a host device using the CLV Host
Command Language strings. This manual uses the CLV Utility Software as its basis.
MODES OF OPERATION
The CLV has two major modes of operation: the Reading Mode (entered automatically after power-up) and programming configu-
ration mode. The programming/configuration options (Parameterization, Percent Evaluation, and Operating Data) are explained
in detail below.
Parameterization: Used to program the CLV scanner to best meet the demands of the desired application.
Percent evaluation: Continuous scanning mode that generates statistical information used mainly for alignment and adjustment
(optimal beam position) when installing the CLV.
Operating data: Used for polling and resetting internal operating data of the CLV. The submenu of this operating mode is
explained following “Percent Evaluation”
