MS-2 CCD Reader User’s Manual 2-1

2 Using ESP

Contents

This section is designed to help you understand the basic structure and elements of ESP

(Easy Setup Program).

When you open ESP, unless otherwise specified in the ESP Preferences dialog accessible

from the Options heading on the menu toolbar, you will enter EZ Mode for initial setup.

From there, you can enter Application Mode (App Mode) and access three configuration

menus (Communications, Read Cycle, and Symbologies), a Terminal interface, and a

Utilities interface.

ESP can be used to configure the MS-2 CCD Reader in three main ways:

• Tree Controls: Each configuration menu contains a list of all option settings that pertain

to that specific element of reader operation. For example, the Communications menu

shows a Host Port Connections option, and then a list of the sub-options Baud Rate,

Parity, Stop Bits, and Data Bits. Each of these sub-options is configurable by using

dropdown menus.

• Graphic User Interfaces: Reader settings can be configured using such point-and-click

tools as radio buttons, zoom in/zoom out sliders, spin boxes, check boxes, and drag-and-drop

functions.

• Terminal: ESP’s Terminal allows you to send serial configuration and utility commands

directly to the reader by typing them in the provided text field.

Information about using ESP in specific applications is provided in subsequent sections.

For ESP system requirements, see System Requirements for ESP in Chapter 1, Quick

Start.
