Using The Usb-Vcp Interface; Osecomm - Opticon OPN2004 Demo Application Manual

9 Using the USB-VCP interface

When the USB-VCP interface has been selected (see chapter 3.1), the barcode database file can be transmitted to a
local PC using the OseComm or NetO file transfer protocols. To be able to receive the files on the host, you'll need
OseComm32 or NetO32 installed. The latest version of OseComm32 can be downloaded from our website under
'Service and support' > 'Software' > 'OseComm'. NetO32 can be downloaded from
http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Downloads/NetO32.zip.
OseComm is used by default in this demo application. OseComm32's use will be described below. The use of
NetO32 will be described in the following chapter.
Configuration codes to switch between OseComm and NetO32 are listed in Appendix A.

9.1 OseComm

The serial configuration of OseComm32 is limited to selecting the correct COM-port of your device in the Serial port
Communication Settings window of OseComm32.
Because the serial port of your barcode reader only exists while the barcode reader is connected, choose 'x times
success' as 'Protocol type' to be able to safely disconnect the USB cable after the protocol has finished. Don't
disconnect your device while the protocol is still running!
Select 'Run protocol at start' if you wish to execute the protocol tasks at startup.
Next, go to 'Protocol Tasks', select 'Receive File(s)' under 'Task Group' and press 'Add task'.
