Test Commands

<C> Enter Read Rate Test. Instructs the
decoder to output the percentage of scans
decoded. The read rate can vary dramati-
cally due to the angle and location of the
label in relation to the scan beam. This test
is very useful in aligning and positioning the
scan head during installation.
<m> Enter Scan Rate Test. Displays the current number of scans per second
produced by the spinning mirror.
<J> Exit Read Rate or Scan Rate Test. Ends the read rate test or scan rate
test and returns to read or ready mode.

Status Commands

<#> Display Software Part Number. Displays software part number.
<!> Display Checksum of EPROM. Displays a four-digit hex number (corre-
sponding to a given firmware version) used to verify a decoder's EPROM.

Master Label Commands

<E> Enable Match Code Option. Identical to Match Code command on
2-19.
Instructs the decoder to compare bar code labels being scanned with a master
label that has been entered in nonvolatile or volatile RAM, and may under cer-
tain conditions send a relay driver signal to pin 2 of the trigger connector. If no
master label has been entered, every decoded label will be a "mismatch" and
will increment the mismatch counter by one.
Enable Match Code Option is intended for use when the decoder is in a trig-
gered mode. If the Match Code option is enabled in the Continuous Read
mode, the decoder defaults to Continuous Read 1 Output mode, and the label
data must change before the decoder will output data again, unless a timeout, if
enabled, occurs.
See "Match Code" on page 2-19
<F> Disable Match Code Option. Disables Match Code.
<G> Store Next Label Scanned as Master Label. Causes the decoder to use
the next bar code label read as the master label if Match Code option has been
enabled. All subsequently decoded labels are compared against the master
label information stored in RAM. (See
<)XXXX)> Download Master Label Information. Downloads master label
information from the host or a terminal. The master label information can be
