Parameterization guide
Overview of parameterization procedure
a) Parameterizing the optical reading characteristics
b) Setting up reading pulse
c) Parameterizing the illumination timeout
d) Parameterizing the evaluation characteristics of the decoder
e) Parameterizing the output characteristics (data, result status)
f) Defining the function of the auxiliary interface
When the ICR is started up for the first time, the
factory default setting
is in effect.
The following parameters must then be set:
