The MS5145 Eclipse has 3 modes of configuration. 
 
•  Bar Codes  

The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the 
MetroSelect

® 

Single-Line Configuration Guide (

MLPN

 00-02544).  This 

manual can be downloaded for FREE at www.metrologic.com. 

 
•  MetroSet

This user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows you to 
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.  This software can be 
downloaded for FREE at www.metrologic.com or set-up disks can be 
ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO. 

 
•  Serial Configuration  

This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications.  This mode gives 
the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of 
the host system.  The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of 
the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide 
(

MLPN

 00-02544). 

 
How does Serial Configuration work? 
 
1.  Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each 

numeral in the configuration bar code.  The entire numeric string is framed 
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx]. 

 

EXAMPLE #1:  
Command for Disabling Codabar 
Command = [stx]100104[etx] 
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h 
(All values are hexadecimal). 

 

2.  If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an 

[ack]. 

 
3.  If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with 

a [nak]. 

Note: 

If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of 
the configuration sequence.  Re-transmitting the invalid command 
will not work, the user must start over.
