After you've established communications and completed basic read rate testing, you
will need to address the spatial and timing parameters associated with your application.
In a typical operation a bar coded item moves along a line past a reader. A trigger or
timer activates a read cycle during which the reader actively searches for symbols. You
will need to decide how to initiate the read cycle and how and when to end it.
Note: When assigning characters in user-defined fields, the characters NULL, <, >, and
,
can only be entered through embedded menus, not through ESP or serial commands.
Note: You can learn the current setting of any parameter by inserting a question mark
after the number, as in <K100?>. To see all "K" commands, send <K?>.
Note on Serial Commands: To preserve continuity with other Microscan products,
some serial configuration commands may include 0s (zeros) or 1s as placeholders. In
order for a these commands to be implemented, the parameter values or a comma
must be included.
