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 simpler 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.

Programming Notation

Tools

1 2 4 → ** Code Programming OFF 【Pro CMD: 0006000】 3

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.

Code Programming On/Off

Tools

Read the “Code Programming ON” 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 “Code Programming OFF” or any normal barcode.

** Code Programming OFF

【Pro CMD: 0006000】

Code Programming ON

【Pro CMD: 0006010】

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

Tools

Hardware Auto Flow Control

When enabled, the scanner will decide if the data should be sent in accordance with CTS signal level. When it is low level CTS signal, it means the serial port's cache memory of receiving end (such as PC) is full and the scanner will not send data through RS232 until CTS signal is set to high level by receiving end.

When the scanner is not ready for receiving, it will set RTS signal to low level.

When sending end (such as PC) detects it, it could not send data to the scanner any more, otherwise the data will be lost.

When disabled, data's sending and receiving through serial port will not be effected by RTS/CTS signal.

**Disable Hardware Auto Flow Control

【Pro CMD: 0104000】

Enable Hardware Auto Flow Control

【Pro CMD: 0104010】

Before enabling this function, please be sure that RTS/CTS signal line is contained in RS232 cable. If not, a RS232 communication error will occur.

USB Interface

Introduction

There are four options for USB connection, and any of them could be set as the default protocol on demand.

» USB HID-KBW: it emulates the unit's transmission to a USB keyboard input with no need of command settings or loading any driver. The barcode data could be entered by the virtual keyboard directly and it is also convenient for the Host to receive data.
» USB DataPipe: USB DataPipe is a transport protocol developed by Newland Auto-ID Tech Co., Ltd, which requires installation of a specific driver on the Host. It supports data transmission and user preference programming. The DataPipe driver for Windows is available in http://www.nlscan.com/home.php.
» USB COM Port Emulation: it emulates the USB port on the Host to an RS 232 port with the same data transport and settings as the real RS 232 port. This connection mode is based on USB DataPipe protocol and requires the USB DataPipe driver, too.
» HID-POS: it is based on the HID port, with no need for customized driver installation. Its transmission is much faster than that of virtual keyboard and traditional RS 232 interface.

When a USB connection and an RS 232 connection are used at the same time, the unit will select the USB connection by default for its priority.

USB HID-KBW

Tools

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: 1100020】

If the input field of the Host allows keyboard input, no software needed to assist HID-KBW input.

Unknown Characters, Beep

HID-KBW deems an unknown character to be a character is not included in a country keyboard type. It may not be able to allocate and send a keystroke, thus lead to an error beep.

** No Beep, Unknown Character

Beep, Unknown Character

【Pro CMD: 1103031】

Example

Suppose select country keyboard types France (number 7), read a barcode "ADF". Since the “D” (0xD0) is not included in France country code, the Imager skip “D” and transmit “AF”. For factory default, no beep produced. Read “Beep, Unknown Character” to indicate unknown character.

【Pro CMD: 1103061】

Too much keystroke emulation slows the sending speed.

Suppose country code "7", France is selected, and "Emulate ALT + keypad" is enabled. Barcode message "ADF" (65/208/70) will be sent as:

1. “ALT make” + “0, 6, 5” + “ALT Break”

2. “ALT make” + “2, 0, 8” + “ALT Break”

3. “ALT make” + “0, 7, 0” + “ALT Break”

When enabled, function characters (0x00\~0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad.

“Ctrl make” 1、

Hit function key 2、

“Ctrl Break” 3、

1. Keystroke "A"
2. Input "Ctrl I" by "Ctrl make", Keystroke "I", "Ctrl break"
3. Keystroke "F"

For some text editors “Ctrl 1” is italic convert. So the output may be “AF”

Enable “Emulate ATL + keypad” will automatically disable “Emulate CTRL + keypad”

When disable, the whole barcode message will be emulated as keystrokes on main keyboard.

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

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.

USB DataPipe

Tools

This protocol is defined by Newland Auto-ID. A driver has to be installed before using this protocol to communicate with scanner,

The advantage of using this protocol is the fast data transmission. Meanwhile, the SDK can be easily integrated into the application system.

VID and PID Table

USB uses two numbers to identify a device and find the correct drivers. The first is the VID (Vendor ID), assigned by the USB Implementers Forum. The Newland vendor ID (VID) is 1EAB (hex). The second is the PID (Product ID). A range of PIDs is used for each Newland product sub family, so each PID contains a base number and an interface type (keyboard, COM port, etc.).

Prefix/Suffix

Introduction

1D barcodes could contain digits, letters and symbols, etc. 2D barcodes could contain more data, such as Chinese characters and other multi-byte characters. However, in reality, they do not and should not have all the information we need, such as barcode type, date and time of scan, delimiter, and so on, in order to keep the code short and flexible.

Prefix and Suffix are how to fulfill the needs mentioned above. They can be added, removed, and modified while the original barcode message is still in tact.

Barcode processing sequences:

1. Intercept barcode message

2. Add Prefix/Suffix

3. Pack

4. Terminate with Terminal and transmit

Tools

Disable or Enable Terminal

“Terminal” is the termination for a string of barcode messages. It can not be formatted like other suffix and prefix. It is fixed to the right and the very end of a barcode transmission.

Read “Program Terminal”. Then program terminal byte(s). To end the suffix, read “Save programming”. The terminal byte is programmed in its hex values. See example below.

Note: The maximum length for terminal is 2 bytes.

Barcode message could divide information into different sections, such as product ID, manufacture ID, and so on. They are important overall. However, at certain situations, some of them are not of interest. This is where message interception comes in. Message interception feature allows transmission of selected section(s). Message intercept only applies to “raw” barcode messages.

The sequence of a read to transmit without message intercept is: Read a “raw” barcode —> Add prefix —> Append suffix —> Append terminal —> Transmit to Host.

The sequence of a read to transmit with message intercept is: Read a “raw” barcode —> Intercept Message —> Add prefix—> Append suffix —> Append terminal —> transmit to Host.

A special programming, pack, can insert barcode messages into a certain message format.

Then the processing sequence is: Read to obtain barcode message—>Intercept—>Add prefix—>Append suffix—>Pack—>Append terminal—>Transmit.

Message Interception

Tools

Interception Rule No.1: It only intercepts selected symbols' raw barcode messages and it effects all barcodes of the barcode format.

Interception Rule No.2: There are maximum 3 interception options restored in the non-volatile memory. If more than 3 are programmed, the last 3 are stored. For example, if there are 4 options are programmed in the order of Code 128, Code 39, QR Code, and UPC-A and “Save”. The 3 options are restored in the order of: Code 39, QR Code, UPC-A.

Interception Rule No.3: If there are more than one options programmed for a barcode format, the later one is used. For example, there are 3 options restored, Code 128 option A, QR Code option, Code 128 option B. The Code 128 option B is used when a Code 128 barcode is read.

"Enable Interception" barcode should be read before intercepting message.

Steps should be followed to erase certain barcode(EAN-13 e.g.) interception options:

1、Read "Erase Certain Barcode Interception Options" barcode;

Batch Programming

Tools

Introduction

Batch Programming can integrate a programming sequence into one barcode. Batch Programming Rules:

Sub-command is in this format: Programming Command + Parameters »

Sub-commands are terminated by semicolons. Note that there is no blank between » a sub-command and its terminator semicolon.

"Save Programming" (0000160) to terminate »

Use Barcode Generator software to make the 2D batch barcode. »

For example, to generate a batch barcode for "Illumination Keep ON"(0200030), "Auto Mode"(0302010), "One Reading Timeout = 2000"(0313000), and "Disable Fixed Length Selection"(0405140) for Interleaved 2 of 5.

0200030; 0302010; 0313000 = 2000; 0405140; 0000160; Generate a batch code.

【Pro CMD: 0001110】

How to build a batch command

Batch command can contain many commands. Each command is divided by semicolon. Batch command must be ended with save command.

Command structure: command (+ equal mark + setting information)

The setting command list is provided below

There are 4 setting command modes

1. Setting syntax 1: Command

The most command is the one can be set at one time without the command.

e.g.:

The command setting the baud rate as 38400 bps: 0100060

The command setting auto mode: 0302010

1. Setting syntax 2: Command + equal mark + number

This command is used for setting the value of parameter, including the longest and shortest length of the barcode, one reading timeout setting, same barcode reading delay setting, sensitive value setting, etc.

e.g.:

The command setting the one reading timeout as 3000ms: 0313000 = 3000

The command setting the sensitive value as 10: 0312040 = 10

1. Setting syntax 3: command + equal mark + hex (e.g., 0x101a, 0x2C03)

This command can be used as setting the user-defined prefix, user-defined suffix, ending suffix, CodeID, increase or cancel the barcode length value, information intercepting, etc. Note: every two hexes in the command stand for a setting character

e.g.:

Append the fixed length 4 of interleaved 2of 5 to 26: 0405160 = 0x041a

Setting the suffix information of the ending as CR/LF: 0310000 = 0x0d0a

1. Setting syntax 4: command + equal mark+ double quotation marks

If the setting information is viewable character, then this mode of setting is appropriate.

e.g.:

The command setting the user-defined prefix information as AUTO-ID : 0300000 = "AUTO-ID"

Produce setting code

Make the command list (ended with save command) to a PDF417, QR code or DataMatrix.

For example, to produce a batch command means: light Always On, Auto Scan, change delay time to 2 seconds, Disable Fixed Length of I 2 of 5. Firstly find commands as follows

0200030; (light Always On)

0313000 = 2000; (change One Reading Timeout to 2 seconds)

0405140; (Disable Fixed Length of Interleaved 2 of 5)

0000160; (Save)

The batch setting code (PDF417) is as follow,

Use batch setting code

Digit Code

It is must to be read save after read digit code.

In order to save the received data “Save” has to be read after data transition completed. If error occurs when reading data, the wrong data can be deleted and the setting up can be done again..

Eg, after a program code is received then ‘1 2 3’ in order is received, if then read “Abort One Data of Current Setting” the “3” will be deleted; if read “Abort One String of Current Setting” the ‘123’ will be deleted; if read “Abort Current Setting” both the program code and ‘123’ will be deleted, the device will be on status of “initiating program code”
