Transfer of Decode Data
The Decode Data Packet Format parameter controls how decode data is sent to the host. Set this parameter to
send the data in a DECODE_DATA packet. Clear this parameter to transmit the data as raw ASCII data.
ACK/NAK Enabled and Packeted Data
The imager sends a DECODE_DATA message after a successful decode. The imager waits for a
programmable time-out for a CMD_ACK response. If it does not receive the response, the imager tries to send
two more times before issuing a host transmission error. If the imager receives a CMD_NAK from the host, it
may attempt a retry depending on the cause field of the CMD_NAK message.
ACK/NAK Enabled and Unpacketed ASCII Data
Even though the ACK/NAK handshaking is enabled, no handshaking occurs because the handshaking applies
only to packeted data. In this example the
packeted_decode
parameter is disabled.
ACK/NAK Disabled and Packeted DECODE_DATA
In this example ACK/NAK does not occur even though
packeted_decode
is enabled because the ACK/NAK
handshaking parameter is disabled.
NOTE
When transmitting decode data as raw ASCII data, ACK/NAK handshaking does not apply regardless of
the state of the ACK/NAK handshaking parameter.
