ASCII barcode reader
To enter text such as labels, numbers, and equations with a barcode reader, connect the barcode reader to
the min DIN connector with an adapter (part No. 104286). The instrument buttons remain functional. See
section 3.7 on how to open the front bezel to access the mini DIN connector.
To enter labels, the instrument's cursor must be on the text to be changed (on the right side of the display)
before you scan in the new text from the barcode. Press Enter to accept the changes, or press Menu to
reject the changes.
The barcode reader may also be used on the instrument trend screens to enter text data that will be stored as
a time stamped event. The ASCII data is split up into three fields:
•
Description
•
Tag
•
State
The first 16 characters will go into the description field. The next 7 into the tag field and so on.
This data will be time stamped and stored in the event file (.LNE) on the disk.
Barcode Reader Recommendation
•
The barcode reader should output ASCII keyboard data.
•
The reader should be capable of Code 39 barcode input
•
The connector should be able to connect to the Keyboard connector located under the bezel.
CAUTION
While the barcode reader is installed, data storage is to a buffer, NOT disk.
