viii MicroHAWK Engine Integration Guide

About the MicroHAWK Engine

The key features of the MicroHAWK Engine are:

• World’s smallest industrial scan engine

• Able to read any symbol on any surface

• Intuitive WebLink user interface

• Customizable hardware options

• Customizable software options

MicroHAWK Engine Communications

There are three ways to configure and test the MicroHAWK Engine:

•

Microscan’s browser-based

WebLink

user interface, which enables you to access, configure,

and test the engine without having to install software or access files on a host system;

• Microscan’s ESP Software, which allows you to configure your reader using simple tree

controls and UI elements;

• Serial commands that can be sent from the Terminal in WebLink or ESP, or from

another terminal program.

About This Manual

The purpose of this user manual is to document the hardware and firmware of the MicroHAWK

Engine, as well as the software used to configure and operate the engine. The browser-based

WebLink interface is the preferred configuration tool, but ESP Software is useful for certain

operations, such as:

• Device discovery to find the reader IP address;

• If you only have an RS-232 (serial) connection;

• Updating MicroHAWK Engine firmware;

• Using the Configuration Database;

• Creating barcodes for reader configuration;

• Generating Symbol Quality reports.

Parts of this manual introduce the basic functionality of WebLink, but WebLink Help in the

WebLink user interface provides more detailed information. This manual’s primary focus is

MicroHAWK Engine hardware and firmware, and ESP Software.

Important: Some images in this manual may contain information about other MicroHAWK

products (the ID-20, ID-30, or ID-40), but only when the functions described are identical to

those of the MicroHAWK Engine.

Quick Start

Step 2 — Mount and Position the Reader

• Position the reader several inches from the symbol. You may need to reposition the

reader a few times to find the ideal distance.

• Tip the reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection.

• 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°. The illustration below shows approximate skew axis, pitch axis, and tilt axis.

Configure Read Cycle Settings

Start / Stop

This mode uses External Level with a Read Cycle Timeout and Continuous Capture,

allowing you to set Leading Edge and Trailing Edge as well as the Serial Trigger and

the Start and Stop characters.

Serial Trigger (Non-Delimited) Off

When Serial Trigger is set to Off, the start and stop characters are set to NULL, meaning

that the trigger is disabled.

Serial Trigger (Non-Delimited) On

When Serial Trigger is set to On, the start and stop characters are set to S and E. When

the trigger button is clicked, it will use the current start and stop non-delimited triggers.

This mode allows you a wider variety of read cycle scenarios, including Continuous Read

Auto. Use this mode to select Trigger mode and to set Serial Trigger Character and

Trigger Delay; to select Capture mode and to set Number of Captures, Rapid Capture

mode, and Delay between Images; and to select the End Cycle On setting as well as

Timeout and Number of Symbols.
