1.5.2Activating Test Operating Mode

To launch the Test Mode by the external key, proceed as follows:

1.From any operating mode, press the Test key: the TX Data/ACT LED turns on.

2.Keep the Test key pressed for minimum one second while the Ext Trig/RDY LED turns on. Both LEDs hold this status if the key is not released.

3.Release the Test key. Both LEDs turn off, the Test Mode starts and the Bar Graph is active.

If the Test key is released before Ext Trig/RDY LED turns on, the test mode is not executed. The device holds the previous operating mode.

During the Test Mode, the Bar Graph repeatedly indicates the Good Read Rate (GRR) every 100 scans (about 1 second). At the end of each sampling all the LEDs turn OFF.

The test mode data are transmitted on the serial interfaces according to the current configuration.

To exit the Test Mode, repeat the above procedure: when the TX Data/ACT and the Ext Trig/RDY LEDs turn off the Test Mode has been disabled.

The previous operating mode will be restored.

If the scanner has been configured in Test Mode via software, a first Test key press will produce no effect. A second Test key press will exit the Test Mode and enable the Default On Line mode.
