CONFIGURING THE SCANTEAM 3700	4

4.1Preparation

This chapter provides instructions for configuring the software in the SCANTEAM 3700 Machine Mount CCD. The configuration process allows you to change the operating parameters of the scanner software to explore the functions of the 3700. The user–defined configuration is stored in volatile RAM memory and can be changed by the user.

All communication between the host system and the 3700 Machine Mount CCD is through the RS–232 communications interface using an Asynchronous ASCII protocol. The host system sends commands one at a time to the 3700. During the configuration process, there is no acknowledgement or other response from the 3700. It is important to enter commands accurately. If a command is sent erroneously to the 3700, you may terminate that command and send the command again. You may send configuration status query commands to obtain a status listing of the configuration selections.

For detailed instructions on preparing the SCANTEAM 3700 for configuration, refer to section 3.3, Set–up Procedure for Use in the Design Lab, or section 3.4, Installation in the Host Instrument.

The application–specific features that can be modified using the RS–232 communication line include the following:

•Auditory feedback for operator

•Bar code symbology may be disabled for security reasons

•Communications parameters

•Data message options

•Decoding enabled or disabled

•Fully configurable bar code symbologies and their options

•Triggering options.
