==About==
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
The Opticon PX-36 is a 2D CMOS Imager that quickly and accurately scans a wide variety of 1D and 2D barcodes. Features Bluetooth 4.0 (HID and SPP), a real-time clock and 18-key operations as well as data entry. The PX-36 sample application layer is fully programmable and channel partners can quickly create custom solutions around the mobile device using the free Opticon SDK.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
The PX-36 can transmit data via its Bluetooth™ 4.0 connection (HID or SPP), or store data onboard for later transfer via USB or RS232 through various charging/communication cradles (sold separately).

|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
===Software Installation===
|
| |
|
+ |
In this section we step through installing both Opticon's USB drivers and NetO32.
|
| |
|
+ |
====Installing USB Drivers====
|
| |
|
+ |
If you are using RS232 please skip to Installing NetO32. Opticon's USB drivers need to be installed for the cradle to be properly via USB.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download the USB drivers from the [[#Drivers|Driver Downloads section]].
|
| |
|
+ |
# Open the zip file by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Launch the installer by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Follow the prompts to finish the installation.
|
| |
|
+ |
====Installing NetO32====
|
| |
|
+ |
The OPL9815 uses a piece of windows software called NetO32 to save the data file to the computer. To install NetO32 follow the steps below.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download NetO32 from the [[#Software|Software Downloads section]].
|
| |
|
+ |
# Open the zip file by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Launch the installer by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Follow the prompts to finish the installation.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
===Configuring [[NetO32]]===
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'Tools' > 'Options'
|
| |
|
+ |
** Choose RS232 from the menu at left
|
| |
|
+ |
*** Choose the COM port for your cradle (COM 1 if using RS232, check Device Manager for USB ['Start' > 'Run' > 'devmgmt.msc' > click 'OK' and look under the 'Ports' section])
|
| |
|
+ |
*** Change Baudrate to 115200
|
| |
|
+ |
*** Change IrDA Device to 'None'
|
| |
|
+ |
** Choose 'Download' from the menu at left
|
| |
|
+ |
*** Click the 'browse' folder icon at right to change the destination folder of the file once you have downloaded it.
|
| |
|
+ |
*** Choose between 'Append', 'Overwrite', and 'Unique' to determine what happens when you download a data file but a file by that same name is already present.
|
| |
|
+ |
** Click 'OK'
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'File' > 'Save As'
|
| |
|
+ |
** Choose a filename appropriate for you (such as your name or your company's name) to save the settings you just changed.
|
| |
|
+ |
** Now every time after this that you open NetO32 you must select 'File' > 'Open' and choose this file to load your settings.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'Protocol' > 'Start'
|
| |
|
+ |
NetO32 is now in 'Polling' mode. Note that you should see the yellow light on the cradle blinking steadily. This means it will sit here indefinitely sending queries to the cradle and waiting for the right response to start a download. Multiple downloads can all be done without ever closing NetO32. When you are done using NetO32 simply select 'Protocol' > 'Stop' and NetO32 will discontinue polling mode. The application can then be closed.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
===Starting the Upload from your OPL9815===
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
After NetO32 is in Polling mode (see [[#Configuring_NetO32|above]]) follow these steps. Note that you should see the yellow light on the cradle blinking steadily. This means it will sit here indefinitely sending queries to the cradle and waiting for the right response to start a download. Multiple downloads can all be done without ever closing NetO32. When you are done using NetO32 simply select 'Protocol' > 'Stop' and NetO32 will discontinue polling mode. The application can then be closed.
|
| |
|
+ |
* For the purposes of the initial test, please scan some barcodes if you have not yet done so.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Select 'Send Data' from the main menu (use the arrow keys to move up and down and trigger (center key) to select an option.
|
| |
|
+ |
* The screen that appears should say 'Transmit Data via Cradle NETO Protocol -PRESS ANY KEY-'. Press any key.
|
| |
|
+ |
* The unit will change to say 'Sending File Waiting NetO Connection ...'. At this point simply place the unit on the cradle.
|
| |
|
+ |
* The OPL9815 will emit a series of short beeps and display 'File Was Sent. Delete Data File?'. Choose either YES or NO by pressing the appropriate arrow button below the display.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
* The NetO32 status log will indicate that the data was downloaded.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Your Data File is now on the PC in the folder specified previously.
|

|
| |
|
+ |
===Software Installation===
|
| |
|
+ |
Follow the Directions above for [[#Installing_USB_Drivers|Installing USB Drivers]]
|
| |
|
+ |
====Installing [[Appload]]====
|
| |
|
+ |
# Appload is Opticon's multi-purpose utility for installing firmware onto devices such as the OPL9815. To install Appload follow the steps below.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download Appload from the [[#Software|Downloads Software Section]].
|
| |
|
+ |
# Open the zip file by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Launch the installer by double clicking on it.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Follow the prompts to finish the installation.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
===Configuring Appload===
|
| |
|
+ |
This section outlines how to configure Appload to communicate with the OPL9815. Appload is a PC application used to load firmware on most of Opticon's products.
|
| |
|
+ |
====Select COM Port====
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select Settings
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select Port
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select the appropriate Port number so that it will match the COM port of either the USB or RS232 interface (whichever was used).
|
| |
|
+ |
## If you are using an RS232 interface the physical serial port is usually assigned COM1 by Windows so if you are using an RS232 interface this is likely your COM port number.
|
| |
|
+ |
## If you are using a USB interface then select the COM port will usually be a number between 2 and 250. The cradle should identify itself as an 'Opticon OPL/CRD USB Serial Port'.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
====Set IrDA type====
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select Settings
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select IrDA Adapter/cradle type
|
| |
|
+ |
# Select Not Installed
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
===Download Firmware===
|
| |
|
+ |
You will need to download and unzip the appropriate firmware file for the action you wish to perform from the [[#Software|Software Downloads section]].
|
| |
|
+ |
===Loading the Firmware===
|
| |
|
+ |
====OPL9815 Firmware Setup====
|
| |
|
+ |
* The OPL9815 must be placed into a download mode for firmware to install correctly. To do this follow the steps below.
|
| |
|
+ |
* Enter the OS-level system menu on the device (press [up], [scan], and [down] at the same time)
|
| |
|
+ |
* Choose the menu option to download software
|
| |
|
+ |
* Return the device to the cradle
|
| |
|
+ |
====Load the Firmware====
|
| |
|
+ |
* Drag the OS file onto Appload to program the OS or choose 'File' > 'Download' and navigate to the OS firmware file.
|
| |
|
+ |
* After the OS is finished programming, you can immediately drag the Application file onto Appload or choose 'File' > 'Download' and navigate to the OS firmware file to load the application.
|
| |
|
+ |
==Application Development==
|
| |
|
+ |
The OPL9815 firmware is split into two levels, an Operating System and an Application. The Operating System Exposes the functions of the hardware to the Application level firmware, and the Application determines how the device behaves. The Operating System is developed and maintained solely by Opticon, however anyone can make an application for the OPL9815 using using the [[#Software|C-Library Kit]].
