Access to the device is also possible for configuration and diagnosis via the host inter‐
face with the aid of the SOPAS ET configuration software. In the default, the data trans‐
mission rate is 57.6 kBd. The data output via RS-232/RS-422/485 can be switched
off, and in this case an existing data output of the host interface via Ethernet remains
active without change. However, it can also be suppressed separately.
Command strings, commands
User interface to the device as an alternative to the SOPAS ET configuration software.
The command strings form a clearly structured command language for the online modi‐
fication of the parameter value set in the device. Accesses the command interpreter of
the device directly. Used by the host for programming work as needed. The SOPAS ET
configuration software is based on the command strings.
Configuration file
Project file of the SOPAS ET configuration software, in which either only one complete
parameter value set of a device is saved or, if several devices are combined for a
project, a complete parameter set is saved for each device for archiving on the PC. The
project file can be printed out in table form, transferred to the clipboard, and provided
as a PDF.
Reading range (DOF)
Depth of field on both sides around the focus of the lens in the reading level. The size of
the area depends on the resolution and the reading distance.
Read diagnosis data
Data related to a code, object, or device, which the device deduces directly from the
read event. Among other things, the data allows for assessment of the quality of the
reading and for conclusions to be made about the read event.
Reading result
Electronic representation and output of the data contents of the read bar codes
together with read diagnosis data in a data output string at the defined output time.
Read cycle
Clock on the device for triggering of the internal reading interval in the device, carried
out on an object-specific basis via an external trigger source such as, e.g., a photoelec‐
tric retro-reflective sensor on a switching input or a command string via a data inter‐
face. In the event of internal “Auto cycle” trigger source, the device generates the read
cycle itself.
Reading interval
Time window in which the device switches on the scan line and attempts to identify
valid bar codes from the read information. Depending on the selected output mode of
the read result, the reading interval may be shorter than the read cycle applied from
outside.
Reading angle (RA value)
Starting from the reading window, the reading angle on the red scan line of the
deflected scanning beam under which the middle of a bar code is detected. Is detected
by the device for each scan and used e.g. for the separation of bar codes with identical
data contents. For the decoding, the active evaluation area along the scan line can be
restricted by specifying the minimum and maximum RA value on an application-specific
basis.
