Stop Character (Non-Delimited)

Useful in applications where different characters are required to end a read cycle.

A single ASCII host serial trigger character that ends the read cycle and is not enclosed by delimiters such as < and >.

Non-delimited Stop characters can be defined and will function according to the trigger event.

When defining Stop trigger characters, the following rules apply:

  • In External Edge the scanner looks only for the Start trigger character and ignores any Stop trigger character that may be defined.
  • In External Level the Start trigger character begins the read cycle and the Stop trigger character ends it. Note that even after a symbol has been decoded and the symbol data transmitted, the scanner remains in External Level trigger read cycle until a Stop character is received.
  • In Serial Data and Edge trigger mode, either a Start trigger character or a hardware trigger can start an edge trigger read cycle.
