6.5.1
Reading mode (standard operating mode)
The CLX performs a self-test after it has been switched on. It switches to Reading mode
("Device Ready" LED lights up). In the default setting the "Sensor" switching input is the (ex-
ternal) trigger source of the reading pulse. The reading result is output by the CLX at the end
of the reading pulse via the host interface (default setting) and terminal interface.
The reading result of the terminal interface can be displayed in the CLV-Setup Terminal
Emulator. The CLX terminal interface must be set to the R

mode for this pur-
pose. This mode is selected for the default setting. The reading result of the terminal inter-
face has a fixed, invariable format.
The Reading mode can be called up by choosing V

shows two examples of the output of a reading result: Good Read and
No Read. The reading result comprises the data contents of the bar code(s) and the reading

gnosis data for Good Read, and
for No Read.
