Start Trigger Character (non-delimited)

Usage:
Useful in applications where different characters are required to start a read cycle.
Definition:
A single ASCII host serial trigger character that starts the read cycle and is not enclosed by delimiters such as < and >.
Non-delimited Start characters can be defined and will function according to the trigger event.
When defining Start trigger characters, the following rules apply:
  • In External Edge the Imager 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 Imager remains in External Level trigger read cycle until a Stop character is received.
  • In Serial Data or External Edge trigger mode, either a Start trigger character or a hardware trigger can start an edge trigger read cycle.
Serial Cmd:
<K229,start character>
 
Default:
NUL (00 in hex) (disabled)
 
Options:
Two hex digits representing any ASCII character.

Note: See ASCII Character Entry Modifier for hex entry instructions.
