6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS
The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also
require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures
refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout.

6.1 POINT-TO-POINT

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. The RS232
auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop computer
running VisiSet™. Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through the main
interface or the Auxiliary interface.
In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface
independently from the main interface selection.
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an
External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its
reading zone.
