3. activate "slave mode" and reconfigure the standard RS-232 output parameters to suit
your system if required
- the ScanPlus 1800 goes into "temporary configuration mode" (see section 7
"Configuration modes and utilities")
4. send the commands from the host terminal to the ScanPlus 1800 (individually or as a list
in a batch file)
- the values displayed in "display data string mode" are hexadecimal values, make sure
that the values you send from the host system correspond to these values - in our
example, the ScanPlus 1800 must receive the hexadecimal value 41 or its equivalent
(ASCII character "A" for example), not the decimal value "41" !
5. send "update current configuration" (0x68 0x46 0x41 0x02 0x60 0x4C 0x6A) if you want
to save the new configuration you have sent to the ScanPlus 1800 (see section 7
"Configuration modes and utilities")
simplified slave mode (9600, 7, E, 2)
\41\4A\01\2D\60
- for RS-232 C and RS-232 TTL with logical 0 = 0V
- allows the ScanPlus 1800 to be configured or controlled directly by the host system via
the RS-232 serial port
- easy-to-monitor character string (same as the strings displayed with the EasySet "View -
Data String" command) but less secure than standard "slave mode" (no start/stop or
checksum)
1. use the EasySet "View - Data String" command to obtain the data strings for the
commands you want to send to the ScanPlus 1800
Example: command for "Code 39 - active" = \ 4 1 \ 4 C \ 6 0
- if you use "display data string mode" (see section 7 "Configuration modes and utilities"),
do not use the last 2 digits (checksum)
2. activate "simplified slave mode" and reconfigure the standard RS-232 output parameters
to suit your system if required
- the ScanPlus 1800 goes into "temporary configuration mode" (see section 7
"Configuration modes and utilities")
3. send the commands in ASCII format from the host terminal to the ScanPlus 1800
(individually or as a list in a batch file)
