==Determining Your Current Firmware==
|
| |
|
+ |
The NLV-1001 can run three possible firmware groups. When upgrading your firmware or determining your firmware version at the request of Technical Support it is important to know which you are using. Follow one of the methods below to determine your current firmware.
|
| |
|
+ |
===Appload===
|
| |
|
+ |
[[Appload]] is an application developed by Opticon that can perform various functions in regards to our scanners. Please see the [[Appload]] page for details and to download the latest version of this software.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Launch Appload
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'Settings' > 'Port' > choose the entry with text similar to 'Opticon USB Code Reader(1D)'
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'Settings' > 'IrDA Adapter/Cradle type' > 'Not Installed'
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'Utilities' > 'Show software versions'
|
| |
|
+ |
* You will see a popup window with two entries on it. The top entry is the firmware version you need.
|
| |
|
+ |
:'''Note''': If Appload responds with an error please try a different method or contact Opticon Technical Support for assistance.
|
| |
|
+ |
===RS232 Commands===
|
| |
|
+ |
It is possible to query the Firmware version on your NLV-1001 via RS232 commands.
|
| |
|
+ |
* As necessary download and install a terminal application. Microsoft Hyperterminal is pre-installed on most versions of Windows. Alternatively Opticon's Appload program contains a RS232 terminal applet under 'Utilities' > 'Show RS232 data'. See the [[Appload]] page for details.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Open your terminal application and point it to the correct COM port for your scanner and choose the correct baudrate.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Transmit the command ''Z1'' by typing <ESC>Z1<CR> where <ESC> is the Escape key on the keyboard and <CR> is the enter or return key.
|
| |
|
+ |
* The NLV-1001 should respond immediately with its firmware version.
|
| |
|
+ |
===Menu Codes===
|
| |
|
+ |
Opticon provides a Universal Menu Book for our products that contain the majority of commands and setting for our scanners. One of these options is a barcode that is used to cause the scanner to transmit its firmware version.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Download a copy of the Universal Menu Book from [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/UniversalMenuBook/UniversalMenuBook.pdf here].
|
| |
|
+ |
* Print page U127 (Adobe will refer to this page as 134).
|
| |
|
+ |
* connect the NLV-1001 to a PC in any mode. If you are using RS232 communication you must have an application open that can present that data to you.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Scan the following barcodes on the printed page:
|
| |
|
+ |
** SET
|
| |
|
+ |
** Z1
|
| |
|
+ |
** END
|
| |
|
+ |
* You should now have the firmware version visible on your screen somewhere.
