Step 5 Steps 6 – 8
Step 7 — Explore the Start View
The Start View is the initial view you will see when the session begins. The connected reader is shown,
along with its user-defined name, IP address, Reader Model, Serial Number, MAC ID, Firmware
Vers ion, Sensor, Optics, Decoder, and Speed. This view allows you to choose Assisted Setup, to
Create a New Setup, or to Load a Setup.
Refer to WebLink Hel p for information about Advanced Settings and Termi na l functionality.
Click the gear icon to show Save,
New, Load, Advanced, Language,
Term in al, Beeper, Guided Tour,
Restore Default Settings, Manage
Login, Enable USB Drive Mode, and
About WebLink.
Step 8 — Create a New Setup or Load an Existing Setup
Assisted Setup
When you click the Assisted Setup button in the Start View, a dialog will appear asking you a series of
application-based questions. Based on your answers, WebLink generates your initial setup automatically.
Once the setup is created, you can fine-tune its parameters in the Setup View.
New Setup
The Start View also allows you to create a New Setup without using Assisted Setup. When you click the
New Setup button, WebLink searches for any differences from default in the reader parameters. If no
differences from default are found, you will see the Setup View. If differences from default are found, an
alert will appear asking if you want to restore the reader to factory defaults.
Load Setup
Select Load Setup to load an existing .json WebLink setup file.
Step 3 — Mount and Position the Reader
Important: See the Grounding and Isolation section of Appendix B in the MicroHAWK ID-20,
ID-30, ID-40 User Manual for proper grounding and isolation techniques.
• Position the reader several inches from the symbol. You may need to reposition the reader a few
times to find the ideal distance.
• Tip the reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection.
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results symbols should be aligned
with the field of view. In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement
(ladder orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and will result in more consistent decodes.
Important: Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°. The
illustration below shows approximate skew axis, pitch axis, and tilt axis.

Step 12 — Configure Symbology Settings
Clicking the gear icon at the bottom of the Decode dialog brings up Symbology Settings. This allows
you to configure every parameter for every available code type.
Data Matrix error correction parameters are
shown in this example, but you can configure any
parameter for any of the code types supported by
WebLink. All parameter changes for all code types
take effect immediately.
Step 9 — Explore the Setup View
The Setup View allows you to configure all aspects of a setup. The left pane of the UI gives you the
ability to configure Cycle type, Acquire, Decode, Match String, Format Output, and Outputs 1, 2,
and 3 parameters.
Clicking the Save icon in the upper right of the interface saves current settings to the reader’s flash
memory so the settings will be available when the reader is rebooted.
The question mark icon in the upper right of the interface opens WebLink Help.
The gear icon in the upper right of the interface brings up Application Settings.

Step 10 — Configure Read Cycle Settings
The Cycle section of the Setup View allows you to modify the trigger, determine the number of symbols
for the reader to expect, and set Read Cycle Timeout. A dropdown menu of various Cycle types provides
a variety of options, each with configurable parameters.
Presentation
This mode, commonly referred to as “hand presentation mode”, uses Continuous Trigger along with
Continuous Capture Mode and a Timeout at End of Read Cycle. Green Flash Mode is set to Static
Presentation and the Green Flash Duration is set to 1 second.
Continuous
This mode allows you to set the Read Cycle Timeout and the expected number of symbols.
Triggered
This mode sets the Read Cycle to Serial Data and Edge, End of Read Cycle is set to Timeout or New
Trigg er, and Capture Mode is set to Rapid Capture with 1 capture. You can adjust the Serial Trigger,
Trigger Delay, Timeout, and Number of Symbols.
Start / Stop
This mode uses External Level with a Read Cycle Timeout and Continuous Capture, allowing you to
set Leading Edge and Trailing Edge as well as the Serial Trigger and the Start and Stop Characters.
Custom
This mode allows you a wider variety of read cycle scenarios. Use this mode to select Tri gger mode and
to set Serial Trigger Character and Trigger Delay; to select Capture Mode and to set Number of
Captures, Rapid Capture Mode, and Delay between Images; and to select the End Cycle On setting
as well as Timeout and Number of Symbols.
Step 11 — Configure Acquire Settings
Acquire settings allow you to set Exposure (signified by the sun icon) and Gain (signified by the dial
and right-pointing arrow icon) in real time. Clicking any of these settings will cause a control to appear,
allowing you to modify that setting. Settings take effect immediately.
When Auto Photometry is enabled instead of Standard, Exposure and Gain are read-only. The A
shown on the sun and dial icons signifies that Auto Photometry is enabled. Auto Photometry constantly
determines the best Exposure and Gain settings during each read cycle.
Standard
Auto Photometry
Step 13 — Format Output and Match String
Format Output, when enabled in the Setup View, allows you to determine the many ways in which
barcode data can be formatted and parsed before it is output as a data string. You can also set Preamble
and Postamble in this dialog.
Match Options and Match String Database, accessible by clicking the Match String section in the
Setup View, allow you to set the match code mode, text output, new master, and match string database.
Step 14 — Run the Application
In the Run view, you can observe the progress of the setup as it follows the parameters you have
defined. The right panel of the UI shows Counts for Cycles, Reads, No Reads, and Mismatches, as
well as Rate information for Capture, Decode, Overhead, Total Read, and Trigger Rate, as well as
Output Data. A "filmstrip" below the image area shows each image capture with a green check mark
for good reads and a red x for no reads.
