3.4.3 Online test mode
When the BL-700 always reads the bar codes, the reading stability can be dis-
played in real time using the STABILITY LEDs. This mode is called online test
mode.
■ Setting
1. To set the online test mode, send the following command from the BL setup
software terminal. To use the terminal, see P.77.
Command to be sent: #TEST1
Send-data: OK
When OK is returned to the command sent, it indicates the mode is set.
This setting is valid only when power is ON. The setting data is reset after
power is turned OFF.
2. According to the setting, start the BL-700 to read bar codes normally. In the
online test mode, the send-data and STABILITY LEDs are displayed after the
trigger input turns OFF.
3. The STABILITY LEDs turn ON as shown below, indicating how many times the
unit can read the data correctly.
4. The BL-700 sends the data in the following format.
The information on the scan count during one trigger-ON and the correct read-
out count is appended to the data. The scan count includes the cases where no
bar code is set.
5. To quit the online test mode, send the following command.
Command to be sent: #QUIT
Send-data: OK
When OK is returned to the command sent, it indicates the mode is canceled.
Online test mode operation is the same as when setting the following from the BL-700
setup software. To save the online test mode setting in the BL-700, set the following using
the setup software.
