Monitoring
The scanners which are to be monitored by this scanner can be set via the parameters of
the
group.
Multiplexer
The multiplexer network is configured via the parameters of the
group.
Each scanner in the CAN network can emulate the functions of the multiplexer. Therefore,
a cooperation of scanners can be established with just one interface to the host without the
need of an additional multiplexer device. A multiplexer can operate up to 31 slave scanners.
The multiplexer sends all reading results or data strings received by a slave scanner to the
host. The device number of the scanner is added to the reading result.Therefore, the host
can distinguish between the different data sources. Furthermore, the host has the possibil-
ity to send addressed data strings to the multiplexer which are then transferred to the cor-
responding scanner in the network.
2.2.5.1 Serial
Serial host interface
The serial host interface is configured with the parameters of the
group.
The serial host interface provides the reading result for further processing by the host com-
puter.
