Barcode reader

From series 511-XXXX / firmware vers. 5.1, a barcode
reader is available as an accessory for the Parotester2.
Paper and plastic rolls are frequently now marked with a
barcode during manufacturing. The barcode reader must
be connected to the RS232 interface. PAROTESTER2
then automatically recognizes the barcode reader and
is immediately ready to read a roll number or roll identi-
fication.
Working with the barcode reader.
The barcode reader can be held in one hand or attached
to the wrist with a Velcro-type fastener. The distance
between the barcode and the barcode reader should be
between 13mm and 200 mm. This distance is determined
by the size of the barcode.
A proximity sensor switches the barcode reader on at
this distance and remains active for approx. 3 seconds.
The roll identification is read in approx. 0.5 seconds.
- The barcode reader reads alphanumeric characters.
- The maximum number of alphanumeric characters is
limited to 25.
- If a roll identification is larger than 20 characters, this is
indicated by a «>», Fig. 70, in the status line. The read
roll identification is fully visible in the roll number menu
(Fig. 71) and also stored.

- Reading and editing a roll identification is only possible
at the beginning of a measurement series, i.e. before
the first measurement is triggered.
- The roll identification can be edited in the «Roll num-
ber» menu.
- The roll identification is automatically saved together
with the measured data after a measurement series
either when the «END» key is pressed or when the
specified number of measurements has been reached.
