Area: Control
In this area, you can establish/terminate the connection to the reader and start/stop the
transmission of the diagnostic data.
Click the "Open Connection" button to set up the connection between the PC and the optical
reader. After the optical reader has established the connection with the PC, start sending the
diagnostic data by clicking the "Start Recording" button.
Note
Connection cannot be set up
If the optical reader cannot set up a connection to the PC, the message "Waiting for
Connection..." appears on the screen.
First check whether the connection settings are configured correctly in the example program
and in the optical reader. Check the firewall settings if the optical reader cannot set up a
connection despite correct configuration.
In this case, contact the network administrator, if necessary.
To stop transferring the diagnostic data, click on the "Stop Recording" button. Click the
"Close Connection" button to terminate the connection between the PC and the optical
reader.
