Advanced Device Configuration
Screen Blanking
This applies only when TaskBook is used on a docking
station installed on a forklift and the screen blanking cable
is connected to the motion sensor of the vehicle.
NOTE
The TaskBook has the ability to blank the screen when positive
voltage is applied to a designated COM port pin. This is typically used
to blank the screen when a vehicle is in motion, a requirement is
some countries. For the TaskBook, an external sensor must be used
that will either provide a positive voltage when the vehicle moves, or
closes a relay in the same circumstance. If using a relay, then the
positive voltage from pin 9 of the selected COM port should be wired
as input to the relay. The output from the sensor or relay should be
wired to pin 1 (DCD) or pin 6 (DSR) of the selected COM port. The
screen blanking cable from Datalogic (p/n 94ACC0157) is wired to pin
9 (pink) and pin 6 (grey).
Configuration
Locate (or add) the line ScreenBlankBits=X in the [General] section of
the file. X should be set to the appropriate value from the list:
•
1 – COM1: DCD (pin 1)
•
2 – COM1: DSR (pin 6)
•
4 – COM2: DCD (pin 1)
•
8 – COM2: DSR (pin 6)
Deleting the ScreenBlankBits line from the cfg file will turn off screen
blanking.
