Technical information

124 Troubleshooting AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual
ForcedTx Forced Transmit (non-tracking). A forced transmit indicates
that the start of trigger occurred before the specified transmit
delay time had expired.
Lost Codes Lost Codes (tracking). If a bar code cannot be placed onto
any package while in tracking, the code is “lost” and this
counter is incremented. Lost codes are also reported in the
AL5010 Monitor message window. Lost code occurances
typically indicate tracking parameters need to be adjusted.
Missed Tx Missed Transmit (tracking). If a bar code is decoded after
the message for that package has been transmitted, the
Missed Transmit counter is incremented.
Decode/DSP Counters
Decode/DSP
Counters
Description
DSP Codes Count of the number of barcodes decoded, per laser, by the DSP.
Scan Ints Number of scan interupts detected by the DSP.
Queue Size Current size of the scan data queue within the DSP. This value
changes dynamically.
Num Cluster Current number of DRX clusters in use by the DSP. This value
changes dynamically.
Bad Scan Count of the number of scans in which the data contained
formatting errors.
Pipe Error Count of internal errors on the transfer of scan data from the scan
data buffer.
Full Scans Number of times a scan could not be added to the scan data
buffer because the maximum number of scans was exceeded.
Mem Full Number of times a scan could not be added to the scan data
buffer because the memory was full.
ScanTooLong Number of times a scan was skipped because it contained too
many transitions.
Max Clusters Number of times, the maximum number of DRX clusters was
exceeded.
ARM and DSP Restarts Counters
Description
ARM Restarts Number of times the ARM processor has restarted. This typically
means the hardware watchdog timer expired causing the ARM
processor to restart.
DSP Restarts Number of times the DSP processor has been restarted.
Typically, this happens if the ARM suspects the DSP has “locked
up” for any reason.
