Decode Data Packet Format

This parameter selects whether decoded data is transmitted in raw format (unpacketed), or transmitted with the packet format as defined by the serial protocol.

If the raw format is chosen, ACK/NAK handshaking is automatically disabled for decode data.

Set this parameter by scanning either of the following bar codes.

* Send Raw Decode Data

Send Packeted Decode Data

Host Character Time-out

Host Character Time-out Default: 200 msec

This parameter determines the maximum time the decoder waits between characters transmitted by the host before discarding the received data and declaring an error. The time-out is set in 0.01 second increments from 0.01 seconds to 0.99 seconds. After scanning the bar code below, scan two numerical bar codes to set the desired time-out.

To begin setting the time-out value, scan this bar code:

Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value using the Keypad Number Symbols at the end of this chapter. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example, a value of 300 msec is selected by scanning the “3” and the “0” numeric bar codes. A value of 30 msec is selected by scanning the “0” and the “3” bar codes.

If you wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72).

Host Serial Response Time-out

Host Serial Response Time-out Default: 2 sec

This parameter determines the maximum time the decoder waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the decoder wants to send, and the host has already been granted permission to send, the decoder waits for the designated time-out before declaring an error. The delay period can range from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second incre- ments. After scanning the bar code below, scan two numerical bar codes to set the delay.

To begin setting the time-out value, scan this bar code:
