6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS 
The following typical layouts refer to system 
hardware configurations. However, they also 
require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures 
refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout. 
6.1 POINT-TO-POINT 
In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. 
The RS232 auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop 
computer running VisiSet™. Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through 
the main interface or the Auxiliary interface. 
In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface 
independently from the main interface selection. 
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an 
External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its 
reading zone.
