6.5.1
Reading mode (standard operating mode)
The CLX performs a self-test after it has been switched on. It switches to Reading mode
("Device Ready" LED lights up). In the default setting the "Sensor" switching input is the (ex-
ternal) trigger source of the reading pulse. The reading result is output by the CLX at the end
of the reading pulse via the host interface (default setting) and auxiliary interface.
Depending of the configuration, the "Result 1" to "Result 4" switching outputs become live
for the predefined pulse length when defined events occur during the reading process (e. g.
Good Read).
The reading result of the
auxiliary interface
can be displayed in the CLV-Setup Terminal
Emulator. The CLX auxiliary interface must be set to the R

D
IAGNOSIS
mode for this pur-
pose. This mode is selected for the default setting. The reading result of the auxiliary inter-
face has a fixed, invariable format.
The Reading mode can be called up by choosing V
IEW
in the menu bar or via the Terminal
Emulator.
Displaying the reading result in the Terminal Emulator:
1.
Click
in the toolbar.
The Terminal Emulator window is then displayed.

Present the bar code pattern from

to the CLX and activate the reading pulse.
The scan line must not hit any object in a distance closer to the CLX than the rep-
resented bar code (default setting: autofocus mode "Minimum distance").
The "Sensor" LED lights up and the red scan line appears. Also refer to
