Configuration (parameterizing)
The CLV is configured locally in accordance with the application at hand. The read, evaluation
and output characteristics can be parameterized as required. The factory default settings or
an application-specific parameter set of the CLV are in effect before changes are made.
The CLV supports four different configuration methods:
•
Configuration via the "CLV Setup" program and the CLV Assistant
(parameter values are set via the serial interface).
•
Configuration via AutoSetup
(reading and code configurations for a bar code are adapted automatically via the
optical interface (reading window)),
see
Chapter 6.4.4 Configuring the CLV with AutoSetup, Page 6-10
•
Configuration via profile bar codes
(parameter values are set via the optical interface (reading window)),
see
Chapter 10.5 Configuring the CLV with profile bar codes, Page 10-17
.
•
Configuration via command strings
(parameter values are set via the serial interface),
see
Chapter 10.6 Configuring the CLV with command strings, Page 10-22
.
In Parameter mode, the CLV only outputs a reading result with AutoSetup.
6.4.1
Configuring CLV with the user interface of CLV Setup
To be able to use "CLV Setup", a PC has to be connected and the program installed on it.
The procedure for connecting the PC to the CLV is described in
. Installation and startup of "CLV Setup" and operation of the user interface
are described in the appendix.
See
Chapter 10.4 Installation and operating instructions for
the PC-based "CLV Setup" program, Page 10-7
.
Transferring parameter sets between CLV Setup and the CLV
Upload
When the CLV is being parameterized, CLV-Setup runs in the
offline mode
. To be able to
modify the current parameter set of the CLV, this first has to be loaded to CLV-Setup from
the CLV. This procedure is referred to as an
upload
("Upload from CLV") during which CLV-
Setup always loads a complete copy of the current CLV parameter set. This parameter set
remains unchanged until it is overwritten by CLV-Setup.
With the help of the
context menu
(right mouse button), only the parameter just edited can
be loaded ("Upload parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog
box ("Upload parameters of this view") from the CLV’s memory (RAM).
Download
Changes made to the current parameter set in CLV-Setup do not take effect until the pa-
rameter set has been transferred to the CLV. CLV-Setup always sends a copy of the com-
plete parameter set to the CLV, i. e. all of the existing parameter values in the CLV are
overwritten. The procedure for transferring and saving the parameter values in the CLV is
referred to as a
download
("Download to CLV").
With the help of the
context menu
(right mouse button), only the parameter just edited
("Download parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog box
("Download parameters of this view") will be
temporarily
loaded into the CLV’s memory
(RAM). To finish the parametrization done by this way all parameters must be download
again to the CLV with the "Permanent" option.
