5.1.7 Connection of a Remote Box
A barcode reader and/or a PC keyboard can be connected to 6.2148.000 Remote Box.
The barcode reader and PC keyboard are used as input aids.
Only plug in and unplug the Remote Box when the Titrino is switched off! The Remote
Box is screwed onto the "Remote" socket of the Titrino. The remote lines of the Titrino are
then accessible at the "Remote" socket of the Remote Box.
5.1.7.1 Connecting a barcode reader
Barcode readers with a 5-pole DIN plug can be connected to 6.2148.000 Remote Box. A
precondition is that the barcode reader can emulate a PC keyboard. If a barcode reader
and a PC keyboard are to be connected at the same time then the barcode reader must
have a T-connection plug. The PC keyboard will then be plugged into this barcode reader
connection.
Settings at the Titrino:
Under key <CONFIG>, >peripheral units, "Remote Box: on"
Barcode:
input
The barcode string goes to the entry field in which the cursor is currently lo-
cated.
method
If the silo memory is switched on the barcode string always goes to the
method. The cursor position has no effect.
If the silo memory is switched off the input has no meaning.
id1
The barcode string always goes to Id1. The cursor position has no effect.
id2, id3
As for id1.
smpl size
The barcode string always goes to the sample size. The cursor position has no
effect. If the silo memory is switched on the silo line will be concluded with the
sample size and the cursor moves to the next silo line.
Settings at the barcode reader:
Plug the barcode reader into the Remote Box. The barcode reader instruction manual
contains the codes which you must enter.
1. Bring the barcode reader into the programming mode.
2. Make the necessary setting for emulating a PC keyboard (may be country-specific).
Select <ENTER> or "CR + LF" as termination sign.
3. Exit the programming mode.
Notes:
• If longer characters chains than are permitted by the corresponding input are trans-
mitted then the first n characters will be accepted; the last characters will be cut off.
• If the silo memory is switched on and the settings "barcode: method" or "barcode: idX"
are operative, the first silo line will be created when the string is received. Higher silo
lines than 1 are only created and concluded with the sample size.
