Using the barcode scanner
To enable the barcode scanner for a configuration, see
Data Labels on page5-5.
You will scan a barcode either before or after a meas-
urement is logged, depending on whether Prompt on
log is enabled in the configuration (see Data Labels on
page5-5). If it is enabled, you can scan a barcode after
each measurement. If it is not enabled, you can scan the
barcode before a measurement by pressing the right
arrow (Prompt) from the Measurement screen, and then
selecting the barcode label. If you scan the barcode
before a measurement, that barcode will apply to sub-
sequent measurements until you scan another barcode.
To scan a barcode:
1 At the Data labels screen, navigate to the barcode label and
press the Enter button. The barcode prompt will appear.
2 At the Scan Barcode prompt, pass the red light from the bar-
code scanner on the bottom of the instrument over the bar-
code. When it reads the barcode the LI-600 will beep and
return to the Data labels screen and display characters from
the scanned barcode..
The barcode scanner will time out after a few seconds. If
this happens, repeat the process. When finished, nav-
igate to Done and press Enter to return to the Meas-
urement screen.
