Configuration

4 Configuration
There are two different ways to configure the handheld reader.
• Control Codes: Control codes allow direct configuration without using a PC. To change a
parameter, scan the appropriate control code using the handheld reader. See chapter 4.3.
• Vision Configurator: The software allows you to perform advanced configuration on a
PC using a clearly arranged user interface. Standard functions include modifying the out-
put string, editing the read result, and assigning a prefix or suffix to the read result, gener-
ating user-defined control codes, and performing a firmware update. See chapter 4.2.

4.1.1 Keyboard Mode
The handheld reader can be used automatically in keyboard mode. No additional control code
is required. To couple with the charging cradle , all that is required is for the quick connect
code on the front of the charging cradle to be read (see chapter 3.4).
Note
Data is transferred using a US English keyboard layout by default.
If data is not transferred correctly in keyboard mode, modify the keyboard layout.

and displaying data and error diagnostics.
To install Vision Configurator, you must activate Vision Configurator mode see chapter 4.2.1.
Note
As an alternative to configuration using Vision Configurator, you can configure the handheld
reader using control codes (see chapter 4.3.1).

Description
In keyboard mode, the handheld reader acts like a keyboard; see
chapter 4.1.1. The read codes are transferred to the PC as a combina-
tion of letters and digits.
In Vision Configurator mode, the charging cradle is connected to a PC
and connects to the Vision Configurator. This mode is used exclusively
for communication with Vision Configurator, see chapter 4.1.2.
The handheld reader operates as an RS-232 serial device via an emu-
lator, see chapter 4.1.3.
