Introduction

About the Quadrus Verifier

The key features of the Quadrus Verifier are:

• ISO/IEC 15415, AS9132, and AIM DPM verification options

• Self-contained, factory-calibrated optics and lighting for fast, easy integration into a
variety of manufacturing processes

• ISO/IEC 15426 certification for Data Matrix verification

• ESP Software for configuration and testing

About This Manual

This manual provides complete information on setting up, installing, and configuring the
Quadrus Ver ifier. The sections are presented in the order in which the V erifie r might be set
up and made ready for industrial operation.

Note:

The terms
“AS9132” is the name of a specification, and the suffix “A” denotes the current published
version of the specification.

AS9132

and

AS9132

are used interchangeably throughout this document ation.

Highlighting

Serial commands and default settings are highlighted in rust bold. Cross-references
and web links are highlighted in blue bold. References to menu items are highlighted in
Bold Initial Caps.

Host Communications

There are four ways to configure and test the Quadrus Verifier:

1. Several configuration commands can be executed from the
to a host.

2. Microscan’s Windows-based ESP, the preferred method, which offers point-and-click
ease of use and visual responses to user adjustments.

3. Serial commands, such as <K100,1>, can be sent from a terminal program. They
can also be sent from a PLC or from ESP’s Terminal.

4. Embedded onboard menus are accessed from a terminal window with a <D> command.

Step 3 — Install ESP

Easy Setup Program (ESP) is Microscan’s proprietary setup and testin g application . The
purpose of ESP is to provide a quick and easy way to set up and configure Microscan
products.

When the Quadrus V erifier is co nnected to a host com puter (Windows V ist a, XP, or 2000),
ESP can be used to set up communication with a host, configure various firmware settings,
and control verification processes.

If installing from a Microscan Tools CD:

1. Insert the Microscan Tools CD in your computer’s CD drive.

2. Choose ESP Software from the main menu.

3. Select the Current Version of ESP and follow the file download prompts.

If downloading from the web:

1. Go to http://www.microscan.com/downloadcenter

2. Create a new “myMicroscan” member account or, if you are already a member, enter
your user name and password.

3. Click the Download Software link and extract the latest version of ESP to a directory
of your choice. Note where your ESP.exe file is stored on your hard drive.

4. At the end of the installation process, the following icon will appear on your desktop:

5. Click the ESP icon to start the program.

System Requirements for ESP

• 166 MHz Pentium processor (recommended)

• Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 operating system

• Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
