Opening configuration files "*.scl"
Whenever it loads configuration files, CLV-Setup checks whether it recognizes all the CLV
parameters/values contained.
If CLV-Setup detects an error, it outputs a warning and enters the problem parameter/value
in the window of the "E
XTRAS
" tab card.

Recording the log file in the terminal emulator
The communication between CLV-Setup and the CLV can be logged in the terminal emula-
tor. CLV-Setup stores the data transferred in both directions with the following identifiers:
CLV -->:
CLV sending to CLV-Setup
--> CLV:
CLV receiving from CLV-Setup

10.4.10 Starting CLV-Setup with an INI file as an argument
When the program is started, CLV-Setup can also have the name of an INI file transferred
as a parameter. To do so, enter "/INI" in front of the file.
Example:
"CLVmain32.exe\
data
\Record1_45x.scl /INI user.ini"
CLV-Setup is launched with the initialization data contained in the "user.ini" file and imme-
diately loads the configuration file "Record1_45x.scl" from the "data" directory.
The "user.ini" file must be positioned in the same directory as "CLVmain32.exe".
You can use this method to link CLV-Setup to several different configurations on your Win-
dows desktop.
In this way, for example, you can prevent CLV-Setup from attempting to establish a connec-
tion when a CLV is not connected.
10.4.11 CLV Assistant
The CLV Assistant facilitates e. g. the parameterizing and testing of the CLV. It guides you in
simple steps through the configuration of the CLV for an application-specific reading situati-
on with
one
bar code. The determined settings are transferred to CLV-Setup.
