Honeywell International Inc. CS19A Manuale Utente

11 - 1

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming 
bar codes.  Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will pro-

gram the scanner.  For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this 
manual.

The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see 

).  The following 

commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.

The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a 

command.

[

option]

An optional part of a command.

{Data}

Alternatives in a command.

Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and 
windows that appear on the screen.

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity 
only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] 

Storage
Prefix

Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR  (ASCII 22,77,13).

:Name: To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host), 

use :Xenon:  The default factory setting for a Xenon scanner is Xenon 

scanner.  This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, 
which accepts alphanumeric values.  If the name is not known, a 
wildcard (*) can be used :*:.

Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to 

scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and 

not to the scanner.

Tag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 

command group.  For example, all RS232 configuration settings are 
identified with a Tag of 232.

SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 

command within the tag group.   For example, the SubTag for the 
RS232 baud rate is BAD.

Data

The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
