Sequence Step; New Master Pin - Microscan MS-860 User Manual

Sequence Step

Usage: Useful in applications in which it is desirable to count by intervals other
than 1.
Definition: Sequencing in Matchcode operations can occur in steps from 1 to
32,768.
Sequencing performs like a mechanical counter by displaying positive
integers and a specific number of digits after roll-overs. For example, 000
– 3 = 997 (not –3) and 999 + 3 = 002 (not 1002).
Serial Cmd: <K228,sequence
Default: 1
Options: 0 - 32768

New Master Pin

Usage: Some applications require the line worker to change the master symbol.
This can be done by installing a switch at the location of the reader. It is
very common to have a keyed switch so that accidental switching does
not occur.
Definition: After New Master Pin is enabled, a pulse can be received on the new
master pin which will cause the reader to record the next decoded sym-
bol(s) as the new master symbol(s).
It is important to note that the enabling New Master Pin does not in
itself cause a master symbol to be recorded. The master pin must then
be activated momentarily (for a minimum of 10 mS) before a master
symbol can be scanned into memory. (See
on page A-4.)
Serial Cmd: <K225,status>
Default: Disabled
Options: 0 = Disabled
After New Master Pin has been enabled and the pin activated, decodes will be saved
in the master database beginning with master symbol #1. If the reader is configured
for a multisymbol read cycle (Number of Symbols is greater than 1), the remaining
decodes will be saved in each consecutive master symbol location. For example, if
Number of Symbols is set to 3 and New Master Pin is then activated, at the end of
the next read cycle, the decoded symbols will be saved as master symbols 1, 2, and 3.
