Creating a Reader configuration starts with the Project window.
All of the basic configuration options are accessed from buttons.
Selecting a button opens the corresponding dialog.
The buttons on the Project window are defined below.
Select: To:
Create a new Bar Code Reader configuration (Bar Code Reader 1, Bar
Code Reader 2, Bar Code Reader 3, ...) in the Project window.
Delete the selected Bar Code Reader configuration from the Project win-
dow.
Define label setups and symbologies for Reader operation.
Define a unique name and enter a description for the Reader. Also de-
fines a DeviceNet address for the Reader.
Specify linear or raster scanning, how scanning is triggered, and accesses
the focus function.
Define when the Reader decodes data and what label is decoded. Also
defines the inter-symbol timer and performance indicator parameters.
Define the operation for package detector, discrete inputs, discrete out-
puts, timer and ASCII trigger commands.
Define communication parameters (RS-232, RS-485/RS422) and proto-
cols (ASCII, DH-485, DF1) for the Reader’s communication ports.
Define match table, package and counter functions for decoded
bar code data.
Define the format and content of messages sent to the host after bar
codes are decoded.
Transfer the configuration stored in a Reader to the currently opened
project in the AdaptaScan Software.
Downloads the highlighted configurations to the device or network.
View the operation of a single Reader or another Reader on the same
network.
Compare the Reader configuration within the project with the on–line
device.
Download new firmware to a selected Reader.
