Menu Command Syntax; Serial Command Example - Honeywell N3680 User Manual

Menu Command Syntax

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] [...] Storage
Prefix
Tag
SubTag
Data
Storage
Note: IMPORTANT: The scan engine's flash has a limited number of write cycles. When
sending commands frequently Honeywell recommends using the volatile (
exclamation point) memory as often as possible.

Serial Command Example

Set the RS232 baud rate to 115,200: SYN M CR 232BAD9. or \x16M\x0D232BAD9
Prefix
SYN M CR

Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command
group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings are identified with a Tag of
232.
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command
within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied:
!
(exclamation point) => performs the command's operation on the device's volatile
menu configuration table.
.
(period) => performs the command's operation on the device's non-volatile menu
configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent changes
you want saved through a power cycle.
Tag
232
What is the default value for the setting(s).
What is the device's current value for the setting(s).
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device's response uses a dash (-
) to indicate a continuous range of values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-
continuous values.)
