Counter Commands

The Xs in all counter commands denote a numeric value from 00000 to 65,535.
After reaching the maximum numeric limit of 65,535, you will receive an error
message and the counter will automatically rollover and start counting again at
00000. To obtain the cumulative total of counts after the rollover has occurred,
add 65,536 per each rollover (the decoder does not keep track of the number of
rollovers) to the current count.
Note: You will lose all counter values if power to the decoder is cycled, when
sending the <A> command, or upon entering and exiting configuration setup
menus.
Note: If you activate the counter command during a read cycle, the decoder will
not output the count until the read cycle ends.
<N> Noread Counter. The message N/XXXXX displays the total number of
noreads that have occurred since power-on or the last Noread Counter Reset
command.
<O> Noread Counter Reset. Sets Noread Counter to 00000.
<T> Trigger Counter. The message T/XXXXX displays the total number of
triggers since power-on or the last Trigger Counter Reset command.
<U> Trigger Counter Reset. Sets the trigger counter to 00000.
<V> Match Counter (or Good Read Counter). The message V/XXXXX dis-
plays the total number of good reads matching the master label since power-on
or the last Match Counter Reset command. This counter is always enabled, but
will only work as a match count when Match Code option is enabled. If the
Match Code option is not enabled, this counter adds the number of good reads,
or decodes. This count can be requested at any time.
<W> Match Counter Reset. Sets the Match Counter to 00000.
<X> Mismatch Counter. The message X/XXXXX displays the number of
labels successfully read that do not match the master label since power-on or
the last Mismatch Counter command.
<Y> Mismatch Counter Reset. Sets the Mismatch Counter to zero.
1. Can also be used as a good read counter when Match Code is not enabled.
