Allegro CX Owner’s Manual 287
Bar codes can be scanned in a variety of weather conditions and
that data are stored on your Allegro. Using the Bar Code/802.11b
expansion pod, the effi ciency of the bar code data collection is
increased. Now you can scan the bar codes on the logs while outside,
and in real time that data is transferred by radio waves directly to
the computer in the mill’s offi ce and stored there.
The Bar Code/802.11b expansion pod removes the inconvenience of
cable connections on two levels: there are no cables used to attach
a bar code reader to the Allegro. There are no cables being used to
connect and transfer the scanned data from your Allegro to a PC
unit.
The data are sent to the PC as you are outside working. This saves
the extra steps of taking the Allegro, which is storing the scanned
data, from your work environment to your PC, then connecting the
Allegro to the PC and transferring the scanned data.
Getting Started
To set up and begin using your Allegro with the bar code/802.11b
expansion pod, follow the instructions outlined in the Bar Code
Expansion Pod section and 802.11b Expansion Pod section of this
chapter.
