This section is designed to help you understand the basic structure and elements of ESP
(Easy Setup Program).
When you open ESP, unless otherwise specified in the ESP Preferences dialog accessible
from the Options heading on the menu toolbar, you will enter EZ Mode for initial setup.
From there, you can enter Application Mode (App Mode) and access three configuration
menus (Communications, Read Cycle, and Symbologies), a Terminal interface, and a
Utilities interface.
ESP can be used to configure the MS-1 Scan Engine in three main ways:
• Tree Controls: Each configuration menu contains a list of all option settings that pertain
to that specific element of MS-1 operation. For example, the Communications menu
shows a Host Port Connections option, and then a list of the sub-options Baud Rate,
Parity, Stop Bits, and Data Bits. Each of these sub-options is configurable by using
dropdown menus.
• Graphic User Interfaces: MS-1 settings can be configured using such point-and-click
tools as radio buttons, zoom in/zoom out sliders, spin boxes, check boxes, and drag-and-drop
functions.
• Terminal: ESP's Terminal allows you to send serial configuration and utility commands
directly to the MS-1 by typing them in the provided text field.
Information about using ESP in specific applications is provided in subsequent sections.
