SETUP
Mode:
The mode button and menu items toggle between the two modes, Normal and
Quick. The Normal Mode reads a card and displays the compliance charts. The Quick mode
automatically resets the reader for another read and only displays the card summary. At any time
while in quick mode, the operator may cancel the read and view the overview and related charts
for the last read card.
Edit Keywords
The Edit Keywords menu item allows the operator to add and remove keywords and change the
keyword labels. Keywords are used to sort the database records. The keywords could identify
different encoders, operators, shifts, or card stock. The keyword labels are only used to identify
what each list of keywords represents and do not affect the database. There will be two keywords
that appear in all three lists that can not be removed, “_DoNotAdd” and “_Misc”. “_DoNotAdd”
will cause the following card read NOT to be added to the database. _Misc is for card reads that
do not belong under any of the other keywords, such as reading InSpec test cards. See
Keywords below for information on how keywords are used.
Example: You decide that keyword 1 will represent the operator. You would enter “Operator” as
the keyword 1 label. Then you would enter the names of each your operators under “Keyword 1”
and click Add to add each name to the list. When an operator is about to read a card, he would
select his name from the list of operators on the main screen. This selection would then be saved
in the database record. At a later time you could use the performance charts to view all of the
cards read by a certain operator.
Communications:
The Communication menu item is used to set the
communications for the InSpec reader and the
IntelliStripe 380 Encoder (optional). Under Com Ports,
select the com port that the InSpec reader is connected
to. Usually this will be “Com1”. If an IntelliStripe 380
Encoder is present, select “IntelliStripe 380 USB” under
Device Names. Click, “OK” to keep these settings
