How to start RS507 decoding by sending SSI command?

L Laurence Chang 3 years 7 months ago

I have to use RS507 Bluetooth scanners connected to my computer through  a Bluetooth hub. The Bluetooth hub is master, the RS507s are in SSI mode. I want to send SSI commands to the scanners to read barcodes. The Bluetooth hub can pass though SSI messages between the scanners and my computer.
 
I tried to send following commands by C++ ( I have put the commands and checksum in byte array )
 
Scan_Enable
Start_SCAN_Session
AiM_ON
 
Is there a document to describe this? I checked SSI programmers guide, but there is only general information not for RS507.
 
Please help me. Thanks in advance.
 
Best regards,

I don't know the answer to your specific question,  but you might want to try updating the firmware on your RS507 if it is not behaving as you expect.  I know the original versions worked well with our CE and Windows Mobile based devices, but I think you may need updated firmware to talk reliably to other devices.

Here's a link to an older firmware update.  The reason I share this is that this is where you can find the PC firmware updater tool.

Here's a search for firmware. .

Looks like this hotfix has the newest version of firmware for the RS507 as of today

Here's the product reference guide.  This explains how to update the firmware along with other things about the RS507.
