10 Symeo 2D Protocol
10.1 Introduction / Basics
The Symeo 2D protocol is the interface between the LPR 2D system and the user. To keep
the protocol simple (i.e. easy to parse) the following aspects are considered:
consistent data packet
The protocol has a standard data packet with a fixed length.
configuration
The structure of the protocol can be configured by the user. It is possible to output only
the required data. Therefore you can use also a slower data interface when using less
data.
The protocol is unidirectional. The LPR 2D system sends data to the user, but the LPR 2D
system does not receive any data from the user.
You can choose between the binary format and the ASCII format. The formal structure of
both protocols is the same.
10.1.1 Configuration file Symeo_2D.ini
To configure the protocol you have to set the parameters in the configuration file for the
protocol (Symeo_2D.ini).
Figure 57 configuration file Symeo_2D.ini (example)
The following text must be contained in the configuration file to choose the format of the
protocol:
[format] binary
or
[format] ascii
