User SRAM

256K (1747-PCIS) or 1M (1747-PCIS2) batte ry backed-up SRAM exists
on the scanner to be used by the host CPU. The host applic ation defi nes

the SRAM’s function.
For additional information on access and use of the user SRAM when

using the API software, see 1747 PCI Bus Interface for 1746 Local I/O
API Software user manual, publication 1747-6.5.3. If you are using
another software application, refer to the documentation for that software.

Setting the Jumper for Battery Back-Up

The PCI Bus card uses an o n board jumper that can be set in either of two
positions:

Enabled - This sett ing pr ovides batte ry bac k-up f or bot h Dual P ort

•

RAM and User SRAM. This mode wi ll substantially decrease t he
battery life.

or

Disabled - This setting provides battery back-up for SRAM only

•

The default position on the jumper is to the disabled pos ition. The jumper
for battery back-up looks like this:.
