OPN2002/3 batch demo application

(Version RFG35415)

The batch demo application for the OPN2002/3 demonstrates its capabilities to store

barcode data in a file and retrieve this file onto a local PC. The files can either by retrieved

by using the OPN2002/3 as USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) or can be received using the

NetO protocol by using USB-VCP and/or the CRD2000 multi cradle.

Since the OPN2002/3 terminals don't have a display to show any instructions this demo

application implements a user interface that consists entirely of using just the 2 keys to

scan barcodes. This brief setup guide describes all features as well as handling instructions.

More product details, additional support and more configuration options to customize this

application to your own preferences (by using the Universal menu book) will be updated at

www.opticon.com

3Customizing your OPN2002 and OPN2003

In the following section a brief overview is given on how to configure your OPN2002/3 for

your desired application.

3.1 Selecting the USB interface (VCP or MSD)

This batch demo application supports 3 methods of retrieving your barcode data file from

the OPN2002/3:

USB Mass Storage Device (MSD)

USB Virtual Com Port (USB-VCP) using NetO32 to retrieve the file

CRD2000 multicradle using NetO32 to retrieve the file (OPN2002 only)

After loading this software on the OPN2002/3 for the first time, the application will

automatically be reset to USB-VCP default.

If you would like to use your OPN2002/3 use USB Mass Storage Device, read the label

below.

(The labels below can be read without reading any SET/END labels)

USB-MSD default

More information on how to use your OPN2002/3 as USB Mass Storage Device will be

given in chapter 8.

To switch back to USB-VCP default (i.e. to load software) read the label below.

USB-VCP default

More information on how to use your OPN2002/3 as USB-VCP will be given in Chapter 7.

Independent of whether you configured your OPN2002 as Mass Storage Device (MSD) or

as USB-VCP, it’s allows possible to transmit your barcodes using the CRD2000 multicradle

in combination with the NetO32-file transfer application.

3.2 OSE Universal Menu Book support *

The OPN2002/3 supports the reading of various configuration options that can be found in

our Universal menu book**. This makes it possible to customize your application without

having to actually change the source code of this demo software.

The OPN2002/3 supports (most of the) menu options listed in the following chapters:

1. Defaults (See the supported default label listed above)

3.1 Enabling/disabling readable codes

3.2 Setting of fixed, minimum and maximum lengths of readable codes

3.3 Code specific options (most options are supported except 2D symbology options)

4.1 Case conversion

4.2 Set prefixes

4.3 Set suffixes

5.1 Read modes, add-on wait modes

5.1.1 Multiple read reset time

5.1.2 Quite zone options (margins)

7.1 Diagnostics

* This demo application does not implement any of the OPN2002s Bluetooth capabilities. A

Bluetooth demo (RFG35312) for the OPN2002 is available on our web site that

demonstrates its Bluetooth capabilities.

** The Universal Menu Book can be downloaded from our web site.

4Barcode database file

All scanned unique barcodes are stored in a database file with fixed length records. Besides

the barcode data, the quantity, serial number of the OPN2002/3 and a date/time stamp

can be stored.

The default format of each record in the database file is:

Example:

8710841030181 , 12,003278,14:41:03,23/11/2009

8710841090246 , 2,003278,14:41:04,23/11/2009

9780131103627 , 1,003278,14:41:00,23/11/2009

The file name of the database is 'DATA.TXT', which is stored on the OPN2002/3. Depending

on the selected interface this file can be retrieved from the OPN2002/3 as file from a Mass

Storage Device or transferred by USB-VCP or CRD2000 using the NetO32 application.

When using the NetO32 application to retrieve the barcode data, any transmitted data will

be appended (by default), so all data of multiple OPN2002s will end up in a single database

file.

The resulting database file can be imported in various applications as so-called comma-

separated file.

To customize the output format of the database file, please check Appendix A.

If no quantity field is specified in the output format, then each bar code will be stored in a

separate record.

5Scanning barcodes

This demo uses the trigger button to enable the laser to scan barcodes.

If a barcode is read using the trigger key and good read beep is produced and a green

goodread LED is shown. The barcode is then stored in the database with a quantity of '1'. If

the same barcode is scanned again the quantity is incremented by one.

To decrement the quantity of a barcode that's already in the database the barcode should

be read using the small delete key. A short good read beep is produced and an orange red

good read LED is shown.

If a barcode is scanned using the delete key that isn't present in the database or that

already has a quantity of '0' a low error beep is sound and a red led is shown.

Negative quantities are by default not supported, but when using the 'Negative quantities'

option (see Appendix A) it is possible to scan negative quantities of barcodes. When a

specific barcode has a negative quantity the led color changes to from green (add) or

orange (subtract) to red on a good read and the sound becomes slightly lower.

6Deleting the database file from the internal RAM disk

It might be possible that your OPN2002/3 has a full or corrupt RAM disk or contains

unwanted barcode data that you want to delete from the OPN2002/3. In this situation it is

possible to read the label below to erase all files from the RAM disk.*

_+-FORMAT-+_

When using the OPN2002/3 in USB-MSD mode, then it’s also possible to delete the file

manually using a file browser.

* Note: If the battery of the OPN2002/3 goes dry, then the OPN2002/3 won't immediately

loose its barcode data. However, after a few days after becoming empty all data on the

RAM disk will be lost. Also the internal clock will reset if the battery is completely drained.

This requires the correct time to be reconfigured using Appload.

7Installing drivers

7.1 USB-VCP drivers

To be able to communicate with the OPN200x terminals using USB-VCP, you will need to

have the USB driver installed on your PC. This driver can be found on our web site on the

'Service and Support' page.

www.opticon.com/SERVICE-AND-SUPPORT.aspx

The driver can be found in the section called 'Software' and then selecting the OPN200x on

the following page.

USB Drivers Installers.exe

USB-VCP driver for Windows 2000 , Windows XP (32bit) & Windows Vista/7 (32bit)

USB-VCP driver for Windows XP (64bit) & Windows Vista/7 (64bit)

USB driver for the CRD2002

After installing the USB driver, you can connect your OPN2002 or OPN2003 to USB using

the mini-USB cable. Windows will then automatically install a virtual COM port on your PC,

which can be selected in various applications, like Appload, Hyperterminal and Neto32.

7.2 CRD2000 cradle drivers (OPN2002 only)

The CRD200 cradle works either via USB or via RS232 and both interfaces do not require

any configuration.

The USB-VCP driver pack mentioned above also automatically installs the USB drivers for

the CRD2002 cradle.

8Using the Mass Storage Device (MSD) interface

When the USB-MSD interface has been selected (see chapter 3) the OPN2002/3 will

behave like a portable mass storage device when it is connected to a USB.

Any scanned barcodes will be stored in a comma separated file called ‘DATA.TXT’, which

can be copied/moved from the OPN2002/3 using a file browser.

Due to the limited amount of (RAM) memory inside the OPN2002/3 the size of the file

system is rather small, being about 125kB on the OPN2003 and about 900kB on the

OPN2002. This is enough space for storing barcodes, but not for using the OPN2002/3 as a

portable hard drive.

9Using the USB-VCP and CRD2000 interface (using NetO32)

9.1 Configuring the host PC or laptop with NetO32

When the USB-VCP interface has been selected (see chapter 3) the OPN2002/3, then the

barcode database file can be transmitted to a remote PC or laptop using NetO32. The data

is transmitted by either a mini-USB cable (USB-VCP) or by the CRD2000 multi cradle

(OPN2002 only). To be able to receive the files on the host, you'll need NetO32 to be

installed. The latest version of NetO32 can be downloaded from our web site under

'Service and support' > 'Software' > 'OPN2002/3'. More information about additional

Neto32 features that aren't described in this manual can be found the help file of NetO32.

9.2 Using the CRD2000

When using the CRD2000 multicradle certain configurations have to be made to correctly

synchronize multiple OPN2002s that all want to transfer a file to the host at the same time.

First of all, the RS232 settings have to be correctly configured, so besides selecting the

correct COM-port of the CRD2000, you will also have to select the correct baud rate and

other RS232 settings. The correct settings are shown in the screenshot below.

RS232 settings in NetO32 when using the CRD2000 cradle

When using the NetO-protocol with a multi-cradle the use of terminal IDs is mandatory to

make sure that all files will be transferred without collisions and errors.

Since the OPN2002 doesn't have a system menu in which a terminal ID can be configured,

each OPN2002 has its own unique serial number stored in non-volatile memory. This demo

application uses this unique serial number as terminal ID. The serial number of OPN2002s

is printed on the back of the terminal, which makes it easy to add the serials numbers in

NetO32.

The 6-digit serial numbers of all your OPN2002s will have to added at 'Tools > Options >

Polling and Timing > Terminals to Poll'.

Screenshot of Polling and Timing settings with a list of OPN2002 serial numbers

When using the CRD200, don't configure a Poll Speed faster than 0,5s because once an

OPN2002 is communicating to the host, the other OPN2002s will be temporarily muted for

250ms by the CRD2000 to avoid data collisions. For this reason an OPN2002 responds to a

poll after a random time ranging between 280ms and 480ms.

9.3 Using the mini-USB cable

When using USB-VCP and the mini-USB cable to retrieve your data from the OPN2002/3,

the RS232 configuration of NetO32 is limited to selecting the correct COM-port of your

OPN2002/3 in the RS232 configuration window of NetO32.

However, when using the mini-USB cable it's not possible to keep NetO32 running in the

background due to the fact that the USB COM-port won't be present on your system until

you've physically connected your OPN2002/3 to your USB port. Also it's not recommended

to disconnect or to reconnect your OPN2002/3 without having stopped the NetO-protocol

first.

For these reasons it's easiest to place a NetO32 configuration file on your desktop that

downloads the data from the OPN2002 once and then immediately closes again. This can

be done by selecting the following 3 options in NetO32.

Protocol > Polling and Timing > Protocol type: Single

Protocol > Polling and Timing > Protocol type: Quit after single run

Miscellaneous > Appearance > Run protocol on start
