Data Capture for Workforce in Motion

Introduction

DualRunners is a "2-in-1" reader that combines assets of both RoadRunners (barcode scanner) and TagRunners

(Contact RFID Reader/Encoder HF 13,56Mhz), so 2 technologies in the same product, and very easy to use. Just press the trigger in order to switch on the scanner and simply press it again to scan/read a barcode or a RFID

Tag. The colours of the LEDs indicate the status of the device. A beep indicates when the scanner connects to the remote device and when a barcode or Tag is scan/read successfully. Acknowledgement of a completed scan/read is configurable by the user.

Barcodes and Tags data are transmitted in real time to the remote host devices/terminals using Bluetooth wireless technology or barcodes/RFID tags can be stored in the scanner and later uploaded to a remote device/terminal using Bluetooth wireless technology. You can download software updates as well as additional documentation from http://www.baracoda.com

after registration.

Note:

What is the Reading technology used by the DualRunners?

This product supports the RFID HF 13,56MHz. Please consult the Compatibility Protocols list included in this document to know the RFID protocols supported.

7.3 How to Read / Write TAG Memory

All RFID tags have an unique identifier (Tag ID), and some of them have also a non-volatile memory (TAG

Memory) in which it is possible to read and write (with or without security).

Note: the TAG ID of a RFID tag is different from its TAG MEMORY.

Unlike reading a tag ID, the read / write memory (TAG MEMORY) operation is only possible in real time. As a consequence, the Host has to be connected the DualRunners. This is the host that sends commands to read / write in the memory.

During this read/ write operation, the RSL led will be orange (solid). When there is a lack of data exchanges between the tag and the DualRunners (ie : interrogator), it will emit a “Tic” sound. In that case, approach it to the tag in order to complete successfully the ‘read / write’ operation.

7.4 The different usage modes

Real Time mode

In real time mode, the data is decoded and transmitted to the remote host without any delay. If the scanner is not connected, the data is lost (Status RSL Led: red flash).

Real Time mode with No Data Loss option

If the No Data Loss option is activated and if the scanner is not connected or out of Bluetooth range, the scanner will store the data. It can memorise up to 20 000 barcodes (UPC format) or TagID and later automatically upload them to the remote host when a Bluetooth connection is established to the host.

Every data sent to the host must be acknowledged by the host. If the host fails to send an acknowledgement, the scanner will continue to transmit the data until the host does send an acknowledgement.

This acknowledgment is disabled in the default settings. It is strongly recommended to set the No Data Loss mode to ON. This configuration can be set with the BaracodaManager software or with the Programming

Guide.

Additionally, this protocol acknowledgment allows an end user to set an audio acknowledgment indicating that the data has been successfully transmitted to the host.

Batch mode

Datas are always stored in the scanner. Once the batch mode is selected, the BCL led (right) emits an orange flash. In batch mode, the DualRunners can read up to 20 000 barcodes (UPC format) or TagID and store them into its non-volatile memory for later transmission to the host.

To upload datas from the scanner, connect it to the host computer via Bluetooth. The BaracodaManager software is used to configure the location where the datas are sent once the datas are extracted from the scanner.

Baracoda DualRunners – User Guide v1.7 - 18 -

Data Capture for Workforce in Motion

Once connected, the scanner will wait for the appropriate command in order to start uploading the datas: this command can come from:

•

The BaracodaManager software: The user has to click on the button “Upload”.

•

A configuration scan barcode: the user has to read the appropriate configuration barcode.

Be aware that with BaracodaManager (v3.36 min), two (2) different ways to upload datas are possible:

•

To an application window: In this case always double check before starting the upload procedure that the cursor in your text window is active. Otherwise you will loose all the data saved into your scanner.

•

To a .txt file (default option). The BaracodaManager software gives you the possibility to modify the name of the file in which you may want to save the data.

The scanner can be configured to automatically reconnect with the BaracodaManager software.

Another connectivity parameters exists: Master mode (the scanner will create the connection to the Host), but only available in Both or Barcode modes.

7.5 The different Data Capture modes

The DualRunners is a contact RFID Reader/Encoder HF 13,56Mhz and Barcode scanner, so 2 solutions in the same product.

There are three (3) different ways to use the DualRunners:

BOTH mode (by default)

In this mode, the RFID and Barcode modes are enabled. So you can scan barcode and read RFID Tag.

RFID mode

In this mode, the RFID mode is enabled and the Barcode mode is disabled. So you read RFID Tag, but not scan barcode.

Note: in this mode, the MASTER mode option is not available.

BARCODE mode

In this mode, the Barcode mode is enabled and the RFID mode is disabled. So you scan barcode, but not read RFID Tag.

The configuration of these Data Capture modes can be done: o Via BaracodaManager software (v3.36 min). o Via scan of barcodes (not if the RFID mode is only enabled).

All usage modes (Real Time, No Data Loss, Batch) are obviously available.

Baracoda DualRunners – User Guide v1.7 - 19 -

7.6 The different connection methods

There are two (2) different ways to create a connection from a Host and a scanner:

Slave mode (by default)

The Host (PC, BaracodaManager software, …) is creating the connection onto the scanner.

Data Capture for Workforce in Motion

Master mode (only available in BOTH or BARCODE modes)

The scanner is creating itself a connection to the recorded Host Bluetooth address. This connection attempt is set after a scan of barcode. The configuration of Host address (on which the scanner will set up a connection to) can be done: o Via BaracodaManager software (v3.36 min). o Via scan of barcodes.

All usage modes (Real Time, No Data Loss, Batch) are obviously available.

7.7 The different reading modes

DualRunners has four (4) reading modes. These modes can be changed through both the BaracodaManager software (v3.36min) or the Programming Guide.

Trigger mode (default setting)

Simply press the trigger when you want to scan a barcode or read a RFID Tag.

Via Bluetooth, a command can be sent to the scanner in order to emulate a press on the trigger to scan a barcode (see remote trigger cmd in communication protocol document)

Aiming mode (only available for DualRunners 1D & Laser, not for 2D Imager)

The Aiming mode has been developed for users who need to scan barcodes very close one to another and need to avoid reading a wrong code. Once in this mode, in order to read a barcode user will have to press the trigger twice. Pressing it the first time will switch on the beam but will not switch on the decoder (thus allowing user to aim at the correct barcode) while pressing the trigger the second time will activate the decoder thus allowing the scanner to actually decode the barcode.

Smart Autoscan mode

For a battery power consumption optimisation issue, in this mode the beam and RFID antenna are not always activated, and the DualRunners scans/reads by intermitent.

Autoscan mode

This mode enables to scan/read continuously. In Autoscan mode, the scan beam and RFID antenna are continuously on.

Baracoda DualRunners – User Guide v1.7 - 20 -

Data Capture for Workforce in Motion

Option: DualRunners allows to activate the option “No duplicate scans” order to not scan/read twice in the same barcode/TagID. By default, this option is disabled, but can be changed through both BaracodaManager software (v3.36min) or Programming Guide.

7.8 The different ways to connect Dualrunners to a host

Baracoda proposes three (3) ways to simplify this process. Just choose the most appropriate one according to your specific needs.

7.8.1 For users: Complete Plug&Scan hardware solutions

The easiest way to connect a Baracoda scanner with a host computer is to use the Baracoda Plug and Scan

Bluetooth dongles. Baracoda offers the RS232 Plug&Scan Bluetooth serial dongle or the USB Plug&Scan

Bluetooth dongle to get connected to a host computer. To use one of these devices:

1.

Plug the dongle into the USB port or into the RS232 port of the computer.

2.

Wait 5 seconds for the host computer to recognize the Plug&Scan dongle.

3.

Scan the “Connect barcode” available on the Plug & Scan dongle just once.

4.

Within less than 20 seconds the LED on the scanner will start double flashing green: you are now paired and connected!

For the USB Plug and Scan Dongle: Once the dongle is connected to the scanner open the target application

(such as Notepad, Excel and Word). Make sure the active cursor is where the user wants the data information to be placed and start scanning datas.

For the RS232 Plug and Scan Dongle, the application will have to receive the information from the serial port in order for the application to receive data from the serial port download the Kemul Software on the Baracoda

Website http://www.baracoda.com/

Pease note that the scanners are set by the Baracoda Plug&Scan USB in “no data loss mode” ON by default.

The No Data Loss mode allows the reader to buffer datas if the datas are scan/read out of range.

7.8.2 For users: software solutions

Baracoda provides two different software packages to manage the Baracoda Bluetooth barcode devices:

K-Emul lets you insert the scanned data value in the selected field. It also allows adding a prefix and a suffix.

BaracodaManager software is a user-friendly, advanced software that inserts the data in a text field of the target application (Kemul plug-in) or displaying the data (Terminal plug-in), presents the following features: very easy connection (one click connectivity), automatic reconnection, buffers data in memory and automatic re-transmission.

Please check the compatibility for some specific hosts (see BaracodaManager compatibility table on www.baracoda.com

).

How to quickly verify that your scanner is working correctly, using the BaracodaManager:

1.

Make sure that your host device (PC or PDA) is Bluetooth enabled. If not, please contact your reseller.

2. Install the BaracodaManager (updates can be downloaded from http://www.baracoda.com/). Refer to compatibility table for specific hosts.

If your Bluetooth software is not compatible, you can test your scanner with Hyperterminal or Kemul. Refer to

Communication Protocol documentation. (Download on http://www.baracoda.com/download .)

Baracoda DualRunners – User Guide v1.7 - 21 -

•

Enter 0000 as the default Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog box.

•

Look at the status of the scanner in the BaracodaManager application window. When the status changes to “connected”, the scanner is ready to be used.

4.

The first time the scanner is configured, the BaracodaManager opens a terminal window. Scan/Read a data and the data will appear in the terminal window

•

Close the Terminal window by clicking on exit

•

Select the Kemul plug-in from the drop down menu. For more information, see the

BaracodaManager documentation.

5.

When you have finished your session, click on the Exit Button of the application to save your configuration.

7.8.3 For developers: Baracoda Software Development Kit (SDK)

The Baracoda SDKs are created for developers who want to integrate the scanner collection functions into their own program code, thus enabling end-users to run a single software program. This eliminates the need to run the Baracoda Manager software in addition to a third party application.

BaracodaManager uses libraries that provide an abstraction layer allowing developers to integrate Baracoda products into their own application very rapidly. Moreover, these libraries will deal with all the low-level routines, timeouts, connections and configuration management.

These libraries are available to developers for free ( www.baracoda.com

for more information)

Laser notice

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.

The laser scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.

The following information is shown on the laser scanner device class label:

Others indications:

This device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as recommended by the EU & FCC Councils.

This directive includes as one of its essential requirements the protection of the health and safety of the user and any other person. In respect of these recommendations, the device should not be body worn (in the pocket for example) while it is operational. The unit should be turned off or not transmitting in those circumstances.
