Program Management Commands

<A> Software Reset. Initializes all serial
configuration commands in RAM and
resets all counters and operating parame-
ters. Changes for Baud Rate, Stop Bits,
Code Length, etc. do not take effect until
this command is sent.
Note: Software Reset will cause the numeric counters in use to lose their count;
record all data that you wish to save prior to sending this command.
<D> Enter Configuration Mode. Enters the menu configuration program. See
Chapter 2, "Menu Configuration."
<Z> Save Configuration for Power-on.
Saves the current configuration to nonvola-
tile memory for availability on power-on.
The values of numeric counters are not
saved by this command.
Note: The <Z> Save Configuration command can be executed 10,000 times. In
normal usage this will exceed the life of the decoder. If frequent changes to the
operating parameters are required, the <Z> command should be used only
when the current configuration has been changed and the changes are to be
permanent.

Device Control Commands

<Bdata> Echo Data to Aux Monitor. Echoes data from host to auxiliary moni-
tor (see Appendix H, "Auxiliary Monitor," on page A-13
<H> Enable Laser Scanning (Laser On).
<I> Disable Laser Scanning (Laser Off). This feature is useful during
extended periods of time when no bar code labels are being scanned. Dis-
abling laser scanning will not affect any downloaded commands to the decoder.
The decoder remains active during this period.
<L> Host Relay Driver. Allows you to send a pulse (at any time regardless of
Match Code or Relay Driver status) to pin 2 of the trigger connector.

Code Type Commands

<P> Autodiscriminate All Codes. Enables the decoder to decode all available
bar code types without changing decoder configuration settings.
1. The <D> command is the only serial command that the MS-3000 decoder will recognize from
an auxiliary terminal.
