Operation
The CLV and external parameter memory are then ready for operation with the factory
settings. The next time the device is started, the "Device Ready" LED blinks for approx.
10 s and then lights up constantly.
Continue the quick start as of Step 4 in
Chapter 6.3.1 Switching the CLV on for the first time
with the factory default settings, Page 6-3
.

Configuring (parameterization) the CLV
The CLV adapts to the reading situation locally with the configuration. The read, evaluation
and output characteristics can, therefore, be parameterized as required on the basis of the
factory default settings or an application-specific CLV parameter set that has already been
created.
The CLV supports two different configuration methods:
•
Configuration via the "CLV-Setup" program
(parameter values are set via the serial interface)
•
Configuration via command strings
(parameter values are set via the serial interface).
Chapter 10.7 Configuring a CLV with command strings, Page 10-49
.
In the Parameterization mode, the CLV outputs no reading result.
6.4.1
Configuring the CLV via 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
. The procedures for installing and starting the "CLV-Setup" pro-
gram and for starting and operating the user interface are described in the Appendix
(
Chapter 10.6 Installing and operating the "CLV-Setup" program, Page 10-41
).
Transferring a parameter set between CLV-Setup and the CLV
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")
from the CLV’s memory (RAM).
Changes made to the current parameter set in CLV-Setup do not take effect until the para-
meter set has been transferred to the CLV. CLV-Setup always sends a copy of the complete
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 will be
temporarily
loaded ("download parameter") into the
CLV’s memory (RAM).
Loading a complete CLV parameter set (upload)
¾
Click
in the toolbar.
CLV-Setup loads the current CLV parameter set from the RAM of the CLV to its databa-
se and displays the values in the tabs.
The "Device Ready" LED is extinguished during the upload.
If the "CLV-Setup" program does not recognize parameters transferred during the upload, it
outputs a warning message. Unknown parameters can be edited in the E
XTRAS
tab by
