5.4 Storage and Database
A special serial interface cable that connects to your personal computer is available (Part
Number 002-2979).
The Database function is used to validate barcode data or compare barcode data to a pre-
defined description that is placed into the database. When using the Database function the
barcodes that are scanned must be in the database on the L1000; otherwise, the following
message will display (unless the database function is turned off):
Data Base Record
Does Not Exist
The Model L1000 contains 20K of memory that is used by Storage and the Database. All or
part of this 20K can be used by the Database (the remainder is used as Storage).
With the L1000, a database file can be created on a PC. The file consists of barcode data and
display messages (described later in this section). Download this database (using a serial
communication port) from the PC to the Inspector unit. Scans may then be performed.
As a barcode is scanned, the Inspector unit’s database is searched for a match. When a match
is found, the message from the database (that was previously entered) will display along with
the verification analysis.
The Storage function is used to hold barcode data, to be printed or reviewed later. Up to
approximately 75 barcodes may be held in storage.
Please note that Database and Storage percentages are allocated in the Setup menus ex-
plained in a previous section.
