Startup and configuration
7.4
First startup
The SOPAS-ET configuration software optimises the bar code scanner to the reading condi-
tions on site. Starting point for this is the factory default setting which can be adjusted to
optimise the bar code scanner. The SOPAS-ET configuration software is used to create an
application-specific parameter set which can be loaded permanently into the bar code scan-
ner and saved/archived as a project file (spr file with configuration data) on the PC.
Fig. 7-1:
Configuration with SOPAS-ET and storage the parameter set
If the bar code scanner is optionally connected to a Micro SD memory card (see
chapter 4.7.4 Parameter set on the Micro SD memory card (optional), page 42
) or con-
nected to a module with parameter memory mode CMC600, the parameter set is saved per-
manently to the memory card, or to the CMC600 repectively, with every permanent storage
of the parameter set to the bar code scanner.
After the bar code scanner is restarted, the data from the memory card, repectively from the
CMC600 is automatically transferred to the bar code scanner. As such, a bar code scanner
can be exchanged, for example, without losing configuration data (see
ing a bar code scanner, page 78
). If there is a memory card as well as a CMC600, the bar
code scanner takes the parameter set from the CMC600.
