Chapter 2 Menu Configuration
Good/Bad Pulse Width
Default: 5 (.05 seconds). Corresponds to 50 ms displayed in the menu.
Options: 0 to 255 (0 to 2.55 seconds). Divide the number entered on the
command line by 100 for time in seconds.
Allows you to set the duration of the good read/no read output signals at
host connector pins 6 and 8 by entering any number from 0 to 255.
Caution: Too long of a pulse width can cause missed labels, especially if Good/
Bad Pulse Width exceeds End of Read Cycle Timeout (see
Command Start Character
Default: <
Options: Any ASCII character.
Allows you to define a new ASCII start character in a serial command.
Serial Command Echo
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
When enabled, serial configuration commands ("K" commands) will be processed
and the new string for that command will be echoed back to the host. If an invalid
command is sent to the host, the decoder will echo back the current setting of that
command. For example, if the current Noread Message is "NOREAD" and
<Kk1,NONSENSE> is entered, the decoder will echo back: <Kk1,NOREAD>. In
this example the attempted entry "NONSENSE" exceeds the maximum allowable
seven characters. Therefore it is rejected and the current NOREAD message is
echoed back and remains the Noread Message.
Note: It is important to note that if a command with multiple fields is processed,
some of the fields may have been processed properly following an "invalid"
command. These changes will be in the string echoed back so that the user will
know what did or did not change.
Beep on Serial Command
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
When enabled, the decoder beeps once whenever a K command is entered to
indicate that the command was accepted and processed. If an invalid command is
entered, the decoder beeps 5 times to indicate an invalid entry. However, this does
not necessarily mean that all data fields have been entered incorrectly. Only one
bad field needs to be found in order to activate the 5 beep response.
