Operation

Sending a command

You have the option of sending individual commands to the sensor. The commands are made up of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers (0 ... 9, A ... F). An overview of the available commands can be found in the appendix.

1. If you are not already on the Settings tab, navigate to it.

2. Enter a valid, 4-digit hexadecimal number for the required command in the

Command field.

3. Click on Send.

The relevant command will be sent to the sensor, where it will be

executed.

Decoder parameters

Settings can be applied to the individual symbologies via the “Decoder parameters” menu option. The green checkmark and red cross show which symbologies have been activated and which have not. They can be activated or deactivated via the respective menus. You can configure settings to the general operating principle of the sensor via the Gen era l s e t ti ngs menu option.

General settings

■ Any new values entered in a text box are sent to the reader automatically

after approximately 1.5 seconds. Pressing the enter key is not absolutely required.

■ If an invalid character is entered in a text box (e.g., a letter in a numerical

field), the background is highlighted red and the value is not sent to the reader. If a value outside the validity range is entered, the background is also highlighted red.

The general settings for operation are entered here.

■ Trigger signal edge: Configures the inputs for rising edge or falling edge

■ Triggers for edge/level (individual triggers only): Configures the inputs

for edge and level sensitivity

■ Decoder mode: Configuration option of automatic or assisted. If the

option automatic is selected, no defined distances between the reader and the code are adopted. If the option assisted is selected, a fixed read distance between the reader and code carrier is adopted (refer to the technical data in the data sheet for the read distance). This defines the size of the code. However, additional settings are required as a result (reading window width).

■ Contrast improvements: The following options can be used to increase

the detection reliability of codes and images with low levels of contrast. Either general linear codes (apart from Interleaved 2/5), just Interleaved 2/5, or both can be activated. Activating these options can result in longer decoding times and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

■ Average reading window width (mm): The value range is 10 mm ... 200

mm. Input of the average reading window width.

Operation

■ Image mode: How the code is to be read. If mirrored is selected, then the

reader expects a mirrored code (read via a deviation mirror).

■ Select parameter file: A backup file can be loaded into the sensor. Use

the Browse...button to select the file and then load it into the sensor with the Send button.

■ Download parameter file: The settings that you have made can be saved

■ Set default decoder parameters: Resets all values to their default values.

Explanation of trigger signal edge and triggers for edge/level:

Trigger signal edge: The sensor responds to edges, i.e., signal changes

(rising/falling edge) that are triggered by a photoelectric sensor.

Trigger rising edge

Trigger

Decoder

Result

Figure 7.1 Pulse diagram trigger rising edge

Triggers for edge/level: The sensor responds to a pending level, which means it initiates synchronous trigger cycles as long as the signal is pending, i.e., image capture, decoding, image capture, decoding, image capture, decoding.

Automatic sensor start

If “Trigge rs fo r edge/ le v el” mode is activated, it is possible for the sensor to start running automatically and trigger, if the trigger input wiring is connected permanently to High (or Low).

Procedure: Triggers for level active and single trigger mode active -> Trigger as long as level is High.

Operation

Trigger modes

Under the Trigger modes menu item, you can select whether to process one or several triggers and specify how these triggers should be processed.

Trigger modes: Single trigger

In Single trigger mode, one image is captured and decoded for each external trigger. Any other triggers that arise during the decoding process are ignored. Activating the function Permit asynchronous triggers permits triggers during decoding.

■ Suppress unsuccessful read (RS232 & TCP/IP): Specifies whether the

output of the signal or output string from an unsuccessful read should be suppressed (activated) or not suppressed (deactivated).

■ Machine cycle: Machine cycle setting. The value must be greater than

20 ms. The value specifies the time gap between each incoming external trigger (minimum time). The setting has an effect on the timeout.

■ Permit asynchronous triggers: Specifies whether or not asynchronous

triggers are permitted. If the field is activated, another trigger can be processed while a captured image is being processed.

ODT-MAC400-* / ODT-MAC401-* / ODT-MAC403-*

Operation

Trigger modes: Interval burst trigger

In Interval burst trigger mode, several images are captured and decoded for each external trigger. An interval is defined, during which several images are captured. The burst length and time limit define the minimum number of images or decoding attempts: Number N = burst length / (20 ms + time limit). Any other triggers that arise during the burst are ignored and counted as missed triggers.

■ Suppress unsuccessful read (RS232 & TCP/IP): Specifies whether the

output of the signal or output string from an unsuccessful read should be suppressed (activated) or not suppressed (deactivated).

■ Burst length: Burst length setting in ms. The value range is 0 ms ... 30000

ms. Entering the number 30001 is the equivalent of setting no limit, i.e., once the reader starts triggering, it carries on continuously. Continuous burst mode can be terminated by a command (8400) or pulse at the second input.

■ Decoder timeout: Specifies the decoder timeout, between 10 ms and

10000 ms. Here, enter the maximum time that the decoder should attempt to decode a captured image.

■ Stop after good reading: Specifies whether the burst is stopped after a

good reading. If the burst length is set to infinite, the burst does not stop after a good reading.

■ Duplicate suppression (ms): The value range is 0 ms ... 30000 ms. Here,

enter the maximum time that the last decoding result should be ignored. Example: A code is ignored if it cannot be retrieved quickly enough from the read area and the same code is read again.

■ Gain hysteresis: Activate or deactivate the gain hysteresis. The gain value

hysteresis may be useful if the contrast of symbols scheduled for scanning is varied. The hysteresis can be deactivated or activated with ± 1 increment up to an increment quantity of ± 15 increments . When an increment width of 2 is entered, a total of 5 captures are triggered. Example: The gain is set to 100, the gain hysteresis is activated with 2 increments, and the increment width is set to 5, which means that when a trigger occurs, 5 images with the following gain values are captured in succession: 100, 105, 95, 110, 90. The preset gain value is the average value of the hysteresis, so to speak. (Note: The gain value range extends from 0 to 255. If the upper or lower limit is exceeded as a result of the hysteresis process, the relevant gain value is limited to 0 or 255. Example: Gain 50, 4 increments, increment width 20, -> gain values: 50, 70, 30, 90, 10, 110, 0, 130, 0). The gain hysteresis stops if decoding is successful.

Trigger modes: Frame burst trigger

In Frame burst trigger mode, several images are captured and decoded for each external trigger. The maximum number of images and the time between each image captured in a burst is defined. Any other triggers that arise during the burst are ignored and counted as missed triggers. The frame burst trigger stops if decoding is successful.

■ Number of images per burst: Specifies the maximum number of images

captured in each burst. Option of selecting between 2 and 9.

■ Interval between frames: Specifies the length of the intervals between

the frames. Option of selecting between 20 ms and 30000 ms.

Operation

Processing modes

Under Processing mode, you can specify whether an image should contain one or several symbols and whether these symbols should be imported. If several symbols are scheduled to be read, you will need to specify how the individual results will be used to compile the output string.

Processing mode: Single window

In Single window mode, you can search for and decode 1 symbol in 1 active window. The size and position of the window can be selected as required. Only the window area is processed to enable quicker decoding.

■ Reference code/match code: The reference code/match code function

can be used only in Single window processing mode.

■ Comparison code: The comparison code is entered here. When the

mouse is moved over the comparison code input window, the popup menu containing the nonprinting characters appears see Figure 7.8 on page

29.

■ Read next code: Press the OK button if you would like to accept the

Processing mode: Multisymbology

Up to 4 different symbologies can be read in this mode. In contrast to Multiwindow mode, the entire image is always processed here. The position of the symbols within the image area is not important. The complete output string is compiled from the fixed sequence of preset symbologies (linking). The symbologies must be different and selected symbologies must also be activated globally in the respective sections so that a defined output string sequence can be allocated if the position of the image to be read is not defined. If the position of the read image is always the same, several identical symbologies can also be read simultaneously. Here, the sequence is from top to bottom and from left to right.

9.3 Input of nonprintable characters

The following syntax is used to display nonprintable characters. A \ character is appended to the ASCII value of the character as a 2-digit hex number. Example: A Carriage Return (CR) character is coded ASCII 013 (decimal) or 0D (hex). \0D is entered in the web interface.

In principle, every character can be set in this way. For reasons of legibility, however, we recommend that printable characters be entered directly.

Limitations

The null byte (ASCII 0) cannot be used. (Permissible range: \01 ... \FF)

The \ character itself must be entered as \24

You can also enter whole character strings.

Examples of character strings

\02ABCDEFGH STX byte, followed by the letters A to H

\02[ STX byte, followed by a [character

\A0\B0777\03 ASCII A0 (hex), ASCII B0 (hex), 777 and an ETX byte

You can enter the space character from the keyboard in the normal way. For reasons of legibility, however, it is displayed as \20 once entered.
