2 System Requirements
2.1 Minimum required OS version
This demo application requires the OS version:
OPN2004: RBIV0026 (or higher)
OPN2005: RBLV0026 (or higher)
PX20: RBMV0026 (or higher)
To check the currently installed OS version, use Appload (Select: ‘Utilities’ > ‘Show software version’).
To check the currently installed application version as well as the OS version, scan the 'Z1' menu label while in USB-
VCP mode. (See Universal Menu Book, Chapter 7.) Note that you will need to have an open serial terminal
connected to the COM/serial port allocated by your host PC’s OS to see the reported versions; this can be done with
Appload’s RS232 Monitor.
2.2 OseComm32 host application
This demo application can use Opticon’s OseComm32 application to transfer files from the barcode readers to a local
PC or laptop. This application can be downloaded from our web site. The minimum required OseComm32 version is
Version 1.0.4.0.
2.3 NetO32 host application
This demo application can use Opticon’s legacy file-transfer protocol, NetO, by use of the NetO32 Windows
application. This application can be downloaded from our website. Note that continued development for NetO32
has ceased in favor of OseComm, but it is still supported by this demo application. Use the NetO configuration label
in Appendix A to switch to the NetO protocol and see chapter 9.2 for more information.
2.4 Appload
To be able to install this demo application firmware onto your barcode reader, you'll need to have Appload installed
on your PC. Make sure you have the latest version of Appload, which can be found on our web site.
Please read the 'Loading of software' section of this manual before downloading any software on your barcode
reader.
