4 Software Installation PowerTool comes with the PowerTool Kit which includes the necessary cable sets, operation briefing and software delivered in CD ROM or floppy format. You will find the PowerTool has been delivered in a self-extracted file format. It includes all the necessary installation files to build a complete running program. When you put the self-extracted file into a pre-built subdirectory and execute this file, those installation files will be retrieved into this subdirectory immediately. Then you have to run the SETUP.EXE and follow the screen instruction to complete the installation of FuzzyScan PowerTool. After the installation procedure, a new FuzzyScan group folder will be added into the program menu, then you are ready to use the PowerTool. On-screen Configuration Compared with the traditional configuration done via bar code menu readings, PowerTool will provide you a GUI interface to configure the FuzzyScan Universal Models easily. All configurations can be saved as a file format or convert to hard copy of print out for management convenience. Especially, the hard copy of all parameters programmed can be obtained via the Convert feature. This feature will consolidate all programmable parameters for a certain application and print it out via your printer linked with the PC. This hard copy, then, can be filed for future reference or can be used in the field where no PC is available. Configuration Download and Upload The Download and Upload functions will let you see what the device is programmed for. Also you can retrieve (upload) the configurations from FuzzyScan or send (download) the configurations to FuzzyScan. Of course, to duplicate preset configurations will be easy as --. Program Field Upgrade Internal program (firmware) change or modification is only one step away via the Field Upgrade feature of the utility. This is what we called Investment Guaranty for all of the FuzzyScan universal models. On-Site Field Diagnostic You can perform Diagnostic to verify if the communication between your FuzzyScan and Host system is normal, and the buzzer and indicator light is working correctly. -4

5 DataWizard Transmission Time Control. DataWizard is an Artificial Intelligence based Expert System developed by the manufacturer to handle delicate data processing jobs before the scanned data been transmitted to the host system. The DataWizard Condensed Version has been embedded in all FuzzyScan family. You can get those desired functions via scanning bar code menu. The Full-Feature DataWizard is only available for FuzzyScan Gold/Jade/Diamond series (Universal Models), and must be configured through the PowerTool for advanced requirements. It will give you the freedom of modifying the scanned data anyway you like, and allow you to integrate the FuzzyScan Universal Models into any existing applications. Briefing The ultra powerful data editing functions provided by DataWizard are controlled by user definable Rule. Through independent rules, users can easily get following functionality: General Transmission Control The available parameters include Preamble, Postamble, Suffix, Symbol ID and Data Length Transmission and -5

6 Advanced Data Verification User can base on the desired Bar Code Symbologies to select Valid ASCII Domain, Valid Data Length Domain and Matched Data Value to establish any desired filtering algorithm. This feature is not only to provide on-scanner data filter without application software modification, but also can reduce the error reading rate and improve data capture reliability. Field Oriented Data Formatter The Field Oriented Data Formatter allows user to flexibly divide scanned data by Delimiter or Length. To use with Added Field and Transmission Sequence Arrangement features, user can implement Insert, Delete, Replace, Re-organize and other data editing capabilities beyond your imagination. If you can t understand the actual operation of DataWizard, please consult your vendor or visit our web site for details. Then you will enjoy the wonderful tool on hand. -6

7 Application Example If your bar code label is a 6-digit Code 9 which includes the information of 6-digit date code, 6-digit serial number and 4-digit unit price. You want the FuzzyScan to do the following for you without software modification: Check bar code is Code 9 or not, then reject the invalid bar code input. Check bar code content is numeric or not, then reject the invalid bar code input. Allow bar code output whose date code is leading with 99. Three outputs with TAB suffix. The date code output should skip 99 and replaced it with AA. The serial number output should be led with S/N:. The first digits of unit price output should be skipped. The output sequence should be unit price, date code, and serial number. Test Bar Code : Actual Output : 76[TAB]AA5[TAB]S/N:456[TAB] Please use FuzzyScan PowerTool to configure the full-feature DataWizard, and follow the procedures listed below. Configuration Procedure Select Using Rule. Set Applied Bar Code to Code 9. Set Valid ASCII Range to Numeric. Select Using Match. Set Matched Data to 99, and set Start Position to. Set Original Field to Divide scanned data into 4 fields. Set Field Divided By of F to Fixed Length for. Set Field Divided By of F to Fixed Length for 4. Set Field Divided By of F to Fixed Length for 6. Set Field Divided By of F4 to Fixed Length for Then DataWizard will assign the rest digits as Last Field (LF) automatically. Please note that if the code 9 bar code label is printed with Check Digit, the last field will have digits. Set Added Field to Insert Added Fields. Set AF (Added Field ) to AA. Set AF to S/N:. Set AF to TAB (Hex 9). Set Transmission Sequence to LF, AF, AF, F, AF, AF, F, and AF. -7

8 Bar Code Programming Menu The FuzzyScan bar code commands are specially designed Proprietary bar code labels which allow you to set the FuzzyScan internal programming parameters. There are System Command, Family Code and Option Code for programming purpose. Each programmable family and bar code command label is listed on the same page with major system commands. The detailed explanations and special programming flowchart are printed on facing or following pages. You can read the explanation and set the FuzzyScan concurrently. A supplemental bar code command menu incorporates the bar code command labels of System Command and Option Code. As you set the FuzzyScan, open the bar code command menu to find the option code page. You may scan the desired family code and option code to set FuzzyScan. If you want to change the programming family for multiple settings, you need only turn over the programming page to find next desired programming family. System Command The System Command is the highest level bar code command which directs FuzzyScan to perform immediate operations, such as entering programming mode (PROGRAM), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations (M_DEFAULT/G_DEFAULT), and so on. Please note that all system commands will take a few seconds to complete the operations. User must wait for the completion beeps before scanning another bar code. Family Code The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. FuzzyScan has already provided more than one hundred programming families to meet any specific requirements. Option Code The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented by 9, A F and finishing selection (). For most setting, you must select at least one option code following the family code selection to set the desired parameter for the selected programming family. -8

9 Programming Procedures As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, information about the final selected parameters represented by the bar code commands are stored in the FuzzyScan s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory retains all programming options. You need not re-program the FuzzyScan if you want to keep the existing configurations in the next power on. The programming procedures of FuzzyScan are designed as simple as possible for ease of setting. Most programming families take the Single Scan Selection programming procedure. But several programming families have more complex and flexible programmable options, and you must take Multiple Scans Selection, Cycling Scan Selection or Dual Level Selection to complete their programming procedures. Each kind of programming procedure is listed in the following pages for your reference. Please give careful attention to become familiar with each programming procedure. However, if you are the user of FuzzyScan Gold/Jade/Diamond series scanners, you are encouraged to use the PowerTool for convenience. If the programming family must take multiple scans selection, cycling scan selection, or dual level selection procedures, the family of the programming menu will be marked with the matched representing symbol of Programming Category (P.C.) in bold font listed in the following table. You can easily find the bold mark in the programming menu, and refer to their flowcharts for details. Before setting the FuzzyScan, please also refer to the Beeping Indications listed in Appendix to understand the details of programming beeping indications. It will be very helpful for you to know the existing status while you are programming the FuzzyScan. Conventions of Programming Menu Conventions Descriptions Factory Default Value P.C.
