Quick Start Guide Step 2 — Connect the System Step 1 — Check Hardware QX Hawk C-Mount Industrial Imager 1 Important: When connecting cordsets to the QX Hawk C-Mount and QX-1, align the pins first and then push the connector into place. Do not twist the connectors, as this will bend the pins. 1 3 5 7 3 2 6 RS-232 2 8 Serial Standalone 6 8 Ethernet Standalone Caution: Be sure that all connections are secure BEFORE applying power. Power down BEFORE disconnecting any cables. Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 P/N 83-116801 Rev C Step 3 — Position the Imager 1. Position the imager at a focal distance of one inch or more from a test symbol. 2. Tip the imager relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection. The case parting line should be perpendicular to the plane of the symbol by either pitching the symbol or the imager as shown. 3. Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results symbols should be aligned with the field of view. In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement (ladder orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and will result in more consistent decodes. Important: Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°.

Step 4 — Install ESP ESP Software can be found on the Microscan Tools Drive that is packaged with the QX Hawk C-Mount. 1. Follow the prompts to install ESP from the Tools Drive. 2. Click on the ESP icon to run the program. Step 5 — Select Model When you start ESP, the model menu will appear: Note: ESP can also be installed from the Download Center at www.microscan.com. Minimum System Requirements • 233 MHz Pentium processor • Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), Vista (32-bit or 64-bit), XP, or 2000 operating system • Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher • 128 MB RAM or greater • 80 MB hard drive space • 800 x 600 minimum 256 color display (1024 x 768 32-bit color recommended) Refer to the QX Hawk Industrial Imager User’s Manual for detailed information about using ESP to configure the QX Hawk C-Mount. Copyright ©2013 Microscan Systems, Inc. Important: Do not attempt to power more than four imagers with a single power supply in a daisy chain configuration. Add a QX-1 and one power supply for every four additional imagers in the daisy chain. 1. Click the button showing the QX Hawk C-Mount. 2. Click OK. Note: You can also simply double-click the button showing your imager to make your selection. 3. Click Yes when the following dialog appears: Note: If you need to select another model later, click the Switch Model button near the top of the screen or use Model > New Model in the menu toolbar. Step 6 — Connect To connect using the Connection Wizard: • Click Connect on the menu toolbar, and then select Connection Wizard. • Select RS-232 or Ethernet to activate the appropriate display. • Configure settings as required by the application, and click Connect. • When a connection is established, the green indicator in the status bar at the bottom right of the screen will be visible: Important: The imager is in Continuous Read Mode by default. For best connection results, be sure that no decodable symbols are within the imager’s field of view while attempting to connect. Step 9 — Test Read Rate Read Rate indicates the number of successful decodes per second achieved by the imager. Test Read Rate by ESP 1. Click the Test button to start the Read Rate test. If a symbol has been successfully decoded, its data and related information will be presented in the field below the image display window. While the symbol is being decoded, the Read Rate LEDs will indicate the read rate percentage on the top of the unit. 2. Click the Stop button to end the Read Rate test. Note: Read rate can also be tested using the Read Rate interface in Utilities. Test Read Rate by EZ Button 1. To start the Read Rate test, hold down the EZ Button about three seconds until you hear three short beeps. The 20%, 40%, and 60% LEDs on the top of the unit will illuminate. While the symbol is being decoded, the Read Rate LEDs will indicate the read rate percentage on the top of the unit. 2. To end the Read Rate test, press the EZ Button and quickly release. Test Read Rate by Serial Command You can also start a test with theor command and end it with the command. Copyright ©2013 Microscan Systems, Inc. Step 7 — Locate Symbol Locate by ESP • In ESP’s EZ Mode, click the Locate button. The symbol in the field of view will appear in the video view beneath the Locate and Calibrate buttons. • Center the symbol in the imager’s field of view. Important: The entire symbol should fall within the field of view (FOV) of the imager. The field of view is what appears in ESP’s Locate/Calibrate window in EZ Mode. • Click the Stop button to end the Locate function. Locate by EZ Button If you are not connected to a host computer, the EZ Button allows you to locate the symbol in the imager’s field of view. • Hold down the EZ Button for about one second and release when you hear one short beep. The amber 20% LED will illuminate when the symbol is located. Note: To end all EZ Button functions, press the EZ Button once and quickly release. Step 10 — Configure and Save Click the App Mode button to make configuration changes. The following modes are accessible by clicking the buttons at the top of the screen: • • • • • Click the EZ Mode button to return to EZ Mode. Click the Autoconnect button to establish communication. Click the Send/Recv button to send or receive commands. Click the Switch Model button to open the model menu. Click the Parameters button to show the tree controls for Communication, Read Cycle, Symbologies, I/O Parameters, Symbol Quality, Matchcode, and Diagnostics. • Click the Setup button to access the Camera Setup tree and the interfaces for Video, Evaluation, Calibration, Window of Interest (WOI), Configuration Database, Ordered Output, Output Format, and Dynamic Setup. • Click the Terminal button to display decoded symbol data, and to send serial commands to the imager using text or macros. • Click the Utilities button to show the tabbed interfaces for Read Rate, Counters, Device Control, Differences from Default, Master Database, and Firmware. Saving Options • Send, No Save. Changes will be lost when power is re-applied to the imager. • Send and Save. This activates all changes in current memory and saves to the imager for power-on. Step 8 — Calibrate Imager settings can be adjusted automatically for optimum performance by either the EZ Button or by ESP. During the calibration routine, the imager will flash its Read Rate percent LEDs and illumination LEDs while searching camera settings and determining the best configuration for decoding symbol data. If unsuccessful, the imager will emit 5 short beeps and stop searching. Calibrate by ESP 1. Click the Calibrate button. 2. The imager will search camera settings to determine the best configuration for decoding symbol data. A successful calibration will display a green frame around the symbol in ESP, and the following message will appear: “Uploading all reader parameters.” After a moment the symbol data will be presented in the field below the image display window. Calibrate by EZ Button 1. Hold down the EZ Button for about two seconds and release when you hear two short beeps. The 20% and 40% LEDs will illuminate. 2. The imager will search camera settings to determine the best configuration for decoding symbol data. Note: To end all EZ Button functions, press the EZ Button once and quickly release. Calibrate by Serial Command Send <@CAL> from a terminal program to begin auto-calibration.
