Data Bits, Auxiliary Port

Usage:	Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Definition:	Number of bits in each character.
Serial Cmd:	<K101,aux port mode,baud rate,parity,stop bits,data bits,daisy chain i.d. status,daisy chain i.d.>
Default:	Eight
Options:	0 = Seven	1 = Eight

Transparent Mode

Usage:	A common application, in conjunction with handheld imagers, is one that employs an auxiliary readout to detect misapplied symbols.
Definition:	In Transparent Mode, data is passed between the auxiliary port and the host. The imager buffers data from the auxiliary port and echoes the keyed data on the auxiliary port.
Serial Cmd:	<K101,aux port mode,baud rate,parity,stop bits,data bits,daisy chain i.d. status,daisy chain i.d.>
Options:	1 = Transparent

• Auxiliary port data is passed through to the host whenever a return key is pressed at the auxiliary port or whenever symbol data is sent. If sent with symbol data, it is processed on a first-in/first-out basis.
  
  

• Auxiliary port data to the host is always sent with a preamble and postamble.

• If the imager is in a polling mode with the host, auxiliary port data will still pass through.

Data Originating from the Imager

• Transmission to the auxiliary port occurs immediately upon a Good Read.
  
  

• Data sent to the auxiliary port does not include a preamble or a postamble.

• Communications with the auxiliary port is always in Point-to-Point protocol, even if the host is in a polled protocol mode.

Data Originating from the Host

• All host data is echoed to the auxiliary port in unpolled mode.
