J DISCOVERY IN SG-10 MODE
The Discovery SG-20 has an operating mode, which makes it downwards
compatible with its predecessor : the ScanGuide SG-10.
This feature makes it rather easy for our Customer base of SG-10 users to
migrate to the SG-20, without any alteration on their BackOffice software. At a
later stage the Discovery BackOffice software can be upgraded, in order to take
full advantage of all the functionality's of the Discovery.
This mode should be used, when using a Discovery in an existing SG-10 RS-485
network (or single unit, using RS-232/RS-422), using application software on the
host which is written to communicate with SG-10s only.
Although it is technically spoken possible to use, we do not recommend using SG-
10 mode, since it automatically means giving up all the Discovery advantages like
the use of the buttons, bitmaps and more text-lines on the display; the SG-10 only
had 2 lines with 20 positions, SG-20 features 8 lines of 24 characters.
The SG-10-mode can be activated with the ESC command sequence ESC>1 (1B
3E 31) or using the Service menu on the Discovery itself. With ESC>0 (1B 3E
30) you can turn SG-10 mode OFF.
NOTE:
SG-10 emulation mode requires Discovery terminal firmware version
8SA0A0806 or higher.
