Visual Xpress Introduction
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on a document reader
connected to your PC's COM port. Visual Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the document reader's firmware, change
programmed parameters, and create and print programming barcodes. Using Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the
programming parameters for a document reader. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single barcode
that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that barcode to any location. Users in other locations
can scan the barcode to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with a document reader, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at least one available serial communication
port, or a serial port emulation using a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and TTL-232 cable, an external power
supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a USB cable is required.
Visual Xpress Operations
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan barcodes and display the barcode data in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands
to the document reader and receive document reader response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data displayed
in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the document reader. The document reader's programming and
configuration data is grouped into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node
in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the parameters' form
belonging to that particular category. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters
specified for a document reader. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write the modified settings
to the document reader, or save them to a dcf file.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Document Reader can perform. You can capture an image using the
current settings, and the image will be displayed in an image window. Images captured from the document reader can be saved
to files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the image settings to an INI file, which can be
loaded later to capture new images. Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the document reader.
