Control elements and indicators
4.7.1
User interface
The bar code scanner is configured application-specifically using the SOPAS-ET configurati-
on software (see
chapter 7.4.1 Overview of the startup procedure, page 70
). Its software
runs on a PC which must be connected to one of the two data interfaces (aux interface:
Ethernet or RS-232, host interface: RS-232/RS-422/485 or Ethernet) of the bar code scan-
ner.
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, command strings are available
upon which the user interface of the SOPAS-ET configuration software is based (see
chapter 11.2 Configuring the bar code scanner with command strings, page 107
In case of an error, startup and diagnosis can be carried out via the SOPAS-ET configuration
software. The bar code scanner operates fully automated in normal operation.

LEDs on the bar code scanner's housing
The bar code scanner's housing has six LEDs displaying the operating status, the laser dio-
de's activity, the status of the reading result and the transfer to the RS-232/RS-422/485,
CAN and Ethernet interfaces.
In reading operation the LEDs indicate the following:

LED
Colour
Denotation
READY
green
• Lights up constantly after switching on and having performed a
successful self-test
• Goes out when parameter values are being uploaded from or
downloaded to the bar code scanner
red
• Lights up when a hardware error has been detected
RESULT
green
• Lights up after a successful read (Good Read, 100 ms)
LASER
green
• Reading operation: Lights up when the laser diode is switched on
(depends on the reading pulse)
DATA
green
• Lights up during the data transfer for 100 ms
CAN
yellow
• Flickers during the data transfer via the CAN interface
LNK TX
green
• Lights up when the physical Ethernet connection is o.k.
Bar graph
(0 ... 100%)
green
• LEDs light up according to the reading rate during diagnostic mode.
• During normal reading mode the bar graph display is switched off.
