Information Lines
There are two areas on the project window that provide information
about a highlighted Reader configuration.
Connections per Reader / Description Field Version Number / Compare Status
Connections Per Reader / Description
The total number of connections is displayed on the project dialog
along with a device description. The description displayed is entered
on the Device dialog description field.
Each Reader has a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 64 connections.
A connection is an AdaptaScan object that moves data both
internally and between Readers. For example, when Package Detect
is specified as the decode trigger, a connection moves data from the
package detect input to the decoder. If the Package Detect is from
another Reader, each of the Readers use the connection object.
Important: You will not be allowed to download a configuration
with more than 64 connections in a Reader. A warning message is
displayed. However, you can still read old databases with more than
64 connections. You will need to reduce the number of items that
use connections before downloading the configuration. Some items
that use connections are match fields, inputs and outputs.
Version Number / Compare Status
The first line shows the firmware version number of the Reader. The
second line shows the compare status in a text format and matches
the status shown by the connection and database status icons (see
previous page).
