37 Programming the Engine Introduction There are 3 ways to program (configure) the Engine, Code Programming, Command Programming, and QuickSet Programming. Code Programming The Engine reads a set of specially encoded barcodes to program features. In the following sections, we will explain the options and features available and provide the barcodes to program them. This method of programming the Engine is most straight forward. However, it requires manually readings of each barcode. As all manual operations, errors are more likely to occur. Command Programming The Host can send the Pro CMD strings (see the chapter of Software Interface) to program the Engine. In the following sections, the Pro CMD strings will be included with the barcodes for Code Programming. A fixture, such as EVK3000 or other simplier circuit board, could be used to program the Engines before they are installed into your equipments or systems. Another alternative is to design the configuration capability in your equipments or systems. This method of programming the Engine could be automated. A software program can be developed to download all the configuration data to the Engine. QuickSet Programming QuickSet is a Windows based GUI program for Newland Auto-ID bar code readers. It displays decoded data and captured images. The engine with its circuit board can be easily configured through the interface of QuickSet. This method of programming the Engine is similar as the Command Programming. QuickSet is a software program developed for Newland Auto-ID products. Note: The programming results are restored in non-volatile memory. They will not be lost when the Engine is powered off. Page 27

38 Programming the Engine Programming Notation 1 4 ** Pro CMD: This is the notation to disable the Code Programming. There are 4 parts of a notation: 1 The first part of the notation is the barcode for Code Programming 2 The second part of the notation is the name of the options or features, such as Disable Code Programming. 3 The third part of the notation is the corresponding Pro CMD string of the Code Programming. 4 If there is ** in front of the name, it means the notation is factory default. Page 28

39 Programming the Engine Code Programming On/Off Read the barcode to activate Code Programming function. One or more Code Programming barcodes can be read to configure the Engine. If an option or feature needs additional parameters, such as digits, they can be found at the end of this chapter. To exit Code Programming, read or any normal barcode. ** Pro CMD: Pro CMD: The value of code programming can be sent to the Host. For factory default, No Send Pro Code Value, the value of programming codes will not be sent to the Host; by reading Send Pro Code Value, the reader will send the value of Programming Code to the Host. **No Send Pro Code Value Pro CMD: Send Pro Code Value Pro CMD: Page 29

44 Programming the Engine Reading Mode» Hand-held Mode: Pull and keep holding the trigger line to read. Complete one reading or release the trigger to terminate reading status.» Auto Mode: The ambient luminance change in front of the engine automatically initiates reading. After completion of reading, the engine goes to idle. Both luminance change and the Trigger can initiate reading when idle.» Continuous Mode: Pull the Trigger line low to start reading. The engine will keep reading. To stop, pull trigger line low again. Hand-held Mode Pro CMD: Continuous Mode Pro CMD: **Auto Mode Pro CMD: Page 34

45 Programming the Engine Reading Timeout and Delay One Reading Timeout:If the engine doesn't read any barcode during the timeout period, it will stop reading automatically. One Reading Timeout is valid in Auto mode. The default timeout is 3000ms. Same Barcode Reading Delay:It is used to avoid misreading on the same barcode (the same format and message) in a Same Barcode Reading Delay Time. It is valid only in Auto mode. The default delay is 1500ms. One Reading Timeout Pro CMD: Same Barcode Reading Delay Pro CMD: There are two options available in Same Barcode Reading Delay:» (Multi-reading) Prohibit: The same symbol can be read after delay.» (Multi-reading) Semi-prohibit: The same symbol can be read more than once in the delay period if ambient illumination is changed, for example the bar code is removed out of reading area and moved back. ** Multi-reading Semi-prohibit Pro CMD: Multi-reading Prohibit Pro CMD: To set One Reading Timeout to 1500ms, read these programming codes: 1 2 One Reading Timeout 3 Digit Code 1, 5, 0, 0, see Digit Code 4 Save Programming Page 35

46 Programming the Engine Sensitivity»» Sensitivity is how sensitive the engine is to ambient illumination change. Sensitivity value is [1.. 20]» The lower the sensitivity value is the higher sensitivity will be. The lower the sensitivity value is the smaller illumination change will initiate reading. High Sensitivity (= 8) Pro CMD: Enhanced Sensitivity (= 5) Pro CMD: ** Normal Sensitivity (= 11) Pro CMD: Program Sensitivity (Min:1, Max:20) Pro CMD: Low Sensitivity (= 14) Pro CMD: Page 36

50 RS232 Interface Introduction When the engine is connected to the Host with RS232 cable, system will select RS232 connection by default. Under RS232 connection, the engine and the Host use the same communication parameters: baud rate, parity check, data bits select and stop bits select. Select RS232 Connection Pro CMD: Page 40

51 RS232 Interface Serial Port The engine and the Host should use the same serial port parameters: baud rate, parity check, data bits and stop bits. The sequence is as follows: 9600 (baud rate), null (parity check), 8 (data bits), 1 (stop bits). Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set your scan engine baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the Host device. Otherwise, they can not communicate. The engine supports the following baud rates (The default baud rate is 9600): **9600 Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Pro CMD: Page 41

54 USB Interface Introduction When using a USB connection, the default protocol is USB COM Port Emulation. USB DataPipe is a Newland Auto-ID Co., Ltd. developed protocol. The DataPipe driver should be installed on the Host. It supports data transmission and user preference programming. QuickSet works with DataPipe. The DataPipe driver for Windows is available in USB DataPipe can emulate an RS232 port on the Host, which is USB COM Port Emulation. It uses DB9 DIN and works exactly the same as an RS232. USB DataPipe driver is required. When only data transmission is needed through USB connection, USB HID-KBW option can be programmed. It emulates the unit s transmission as a USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes of the virtual keyboard. It is Plug and Play. There is no driver required. If a USB connection and an RS232 connection are used at the same time, the engine will select USB connection by default for its priority. Page 44

55 USB Interface USB HID-KBW USB connection (no driver needed) supports simulating the Imager transmission to be a USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes of the virtual keyboard. It works in Plug and Play base. There is no driver required. Select USB HID-KBW Pro CMD: If the input field of the Host allows keyboard input, no software needed to assist HID- KBW input. Page 45

Read Emulate Numeric Keypad to enable the function. when 0~9 is of the barcode message, it will be emulated as keystrokes on numeric keypad. But sign such as + _ * /. is emulated as keystrokes on main keyboard. Numeric keypad is normally at the right of a standard keyboard. This function is effected by the current state of Num Lock of Host's numeric keypad. The emulate numeric keypad couldn't control the state of Num Lock. So, if Num Lock light off, the output is function key instead of numbers. ** Disable Emulate Numeric Keypad Pro CMD: Emulate Numeric Keypad Pro CMD: Check Num Lock light before use this function. Enable Emulate ALT + keypad will automatically disable this function Enable Emulate Number Keyboard and read the A4.5 barcode. If Num Lock on the Host is ON, the data received will be A4.5. If Num Lock is OFF, Host will receive the data from keyboard as follow: Host receives data A. This character is not included in keyboard, thus the data will be sent as normal. Next, Host receives data 4 corresponding to the instruction of Cursor move to left. Then, Host receives data. corresponding to the instruction of delete the character just back of cursor. There is no input generated by data 4 as the data 5 corresponds to NO instructions. Page 54
