RS507 ==> Imager Mode

Nicolas Etienne Apr 29, 2016 12:49 AM

Hi,

I'm working with the Ring Scanner 507 (RS507). This RS is connected to my device using bluetooth.

Based on the Simple serial interface programmer's guide (SSI : ref 72E-40451-03 Revision A from May 2015), I'm able to switch to Image mode the RS.

I'm also able to take a picture with this ring...

But, because the default baudrate is 9600, it takes about 15 to 20 seconds to get the image on the handhel device with whom is associated (in bluetooth) the device.

My question is pretty much simple ==> How can I change the Baudrate.

I know I can send command to change settings

The PARAM_SEND command is for that, BUT there is no information concerning how to change the baudrate (code, etc...)

So, HOW can I achieve this ?

I'm sure there might be one guy, one girl over there working for Zebra on the RS who is able to provide the correct answer...

Don't be shy, do it

Thanks, Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

We have go through some investigation and the Baud rate of Bluetooth Radio could not be change.
Btw, may I know how you change the Host Radio Baud rate ?
As we understand, you will required the same baud rate for host and scanner to work.

Thanks.

  HI Tsu Beng
  
  Well in fact, I am not changing the baudrate because I connect through
  bluetooth my RS to my device which is running under Android.
  
  So, I don’t deal with any rate currently.
  
  But, if there is a way to change the baudrate in Android, I’m sure I will
  give a try to see if the RS can adapt by itself its transmission rate.
  
  Just one more day before I’m home to test this J
  
  Thanks
  
  Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas,
    
    Sure. Feel free to inform us if you found any way to change the Bluetooth Radio Baud Rate in Android/other host device and we could test it out at our end as well.
    
    Please note that the default baud rate for RS507 is 9600.
    
    Thanks.

  Hi Tsu Beng,
  
  After research, Android relies on RFComm which doens’t care of the baudrate
  because it is fixed by the connected device. In other words,
  
  It has to be set on the connected device.
  
  If it’s not possible to change to baudrate on the RS, then it can’t be done
  nowhere else.
  
  Guess I’m stuck with this 9600 baudrate on the RS.
  
  What I don’t understand is : why provide a image mode (which works on the
  RS) if the transmission rate is so poor that it can’t really
  
  Be of any help due to transfer time ?
  
  By default, RS is 9600 baudrate, but I suppose that the electronical serial
  component used may do better than this. Why not
  
  Allowed people to change it ?
  
  Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas,
    
    After checking with Engineering Team, the reply as below:
    
    In SSI(SCAN) profile is mainly used for Engineering Development/debug and configurability.
    It’s default Baud rate is 9600 and can’t be changed.
    In SPP profile will support different baud rates from 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and up to 115200 Baud Rates.
    
    Hope this helps.
    Tsu Beng.

      Hi TsuBeng,
      
      Great news for SPP….
      
      NExt question is obvious : how can I change the baudrate ? Because it’s
      android, it has to be done on the device
      
      So, is there a way to change in SPP the baudrate ? (by sending the right
      command I suppose, but which one might it be ? )
      
      Thanks,
      
      Nicolas

        Hi Nicolas,
        
        Noted. Could you share with us the information below:
        1)May I know what is the RS507 Firmware version?
        2)is there any specific document that you use to configure RS507?
        
        Thanks.
        Tsu Beng.

        Concerning the Firmware, I don't know exactly which one it is.
        
        What I know is that the RS507 is
        
        S/N: 12181000500599
        MFD: 30 Jun 12
        
        The specific document I use is :
        SSI Interface 72E-40451-03 Revision A, May 2015.
        
        You said in SSI, we are stuck to 9600 baudrate.
        
        But in SPP, it is possible to change up to 115200.
        
        But, is there a way in SPP to take a picture ? I don't think that it is possible to send command to the device in SPP ? Is it possible ? How ?
        
        Thanks

        Hi Nicolas,
        
        After verifying with engineering team, SPP unable to take picture.
        Additionally, RS507 can adjust the baud rate as per the host device baud rates for SPP mode.
        
        Lastly, if you wish to change baud rate in SSI for RS507, I would recommend you to go for customized product.
        About the customized product request, you will need to contact Zebra Sales Persons.
        
        Thanks.
        Tsu Beng.
