To the USB port

of a PC
Note
Power is not supplied to the SR-600 Series through the USB connection. Make sure to supply power
through the round connector.
You cannot connect multiple SR-600s to a single PC through USB connections at the same time.
Installing the USB Driver

To use the SR-600 Series by connecting it to a PC, you need to install the USB driver.
Precautions to consider when installing drivers:

Applicable operating systems (OS) are Windows 8/7/Vista/XP.
When you install the USB driver for the SR-600 Series for the first time, start up the PC first and then connect the
SR-600 Series to the USB port of the PC. If you start up the PC after connecting the SR-600 Series to the USB
port, the installation will not proceed properly.
Precautions to consider when connecting to a PC:

It may take several seconds before the PC recognizes or ends the connection of a USB device. Consequently,
wait at least 10 seconds before connecting/disconnecting the USB device.
Do not connect/disconnect the USB connector while the PC is in standby mode (suspended).
Do not connect/disconnect other USB devices while the PC is processing the connection of the SR-600.
If you disconnect the USB cable while the SR-600 is communicating with the PC, not only may data be lost, but
damage to the system may also occur. Do not disconnect the USB cable during communication.

3-2 Quick Calibration

This section describes the Quick Calibration function.
Quick Calibration
The SR-600 Series can automatically adjust parameters for the target 2D codes or bar codes through the operation
of the unit itself and store the settings in its internal memory. This function is called "Quick Calibration".
The parameters are stored in a location called a "Parameter Bank". The SR-600 Series has 16 parameter banks.
3
For details of the parameters stored in the parameter banks, refer to "5-4 Configuration Settings".
Running Quick Calibration

The quick calibration can be activated in two ways: Using the button on the panel or using the input terminal.
Activation using the button on the panel

Use the button on the panel of the SR-600 Series to activate the quick calibration.
When the
button is held down for 2 seconds in Quick Calibration mode, the quick calibration is canceled and

SR-600-M-NO3-E
3-3 Alternate Function

This section describes the alternate function.
Alternate Function
The SR-600 Series can switch between multiple parameter banks that are registered for the code being read while
performing the reading operation.
The "Alternate Function" automatically switches between parameter banks to perform stable readings using optimal
parameters, even when there are fluctuations in the marking conditions or reading distance.
By default, reading is performed using parameter bank 0 (bank for read quick setup code).

Important
SR-600-M-NO3-E
Since the alternate function continues reading by changing the parameter banks one at a time, it
requires a longer time to select the parameter bank with optimum settings. (The processing time
depends on the decode timeout period setting.)
The alternate function is turned off by default. The function is enabled after settings are registered with
any of the parameter banks.
The alternate function is disabled in the following cases:
In Burst reading mode
When the alternate function is turned off for all parameter banks
When the bank specify trigger input command (LON01 to 16) is sent to directly specify the parameter
bank for reading (

3-3 Alternate Function
Bank prioritizing function

When the bank prioritizing function is set to "Enable" and reading is completed successfully, the next reading starts
using the parameter bank for the successful reading.
When codes with the same reading conditions are repeatedly decoded, the reader can begin reading based on the
previous successful bank parameters, which may result in a shorter reading time.

SR-600-M-NO3-E
3-4 Preset/Verification
This section describes the preset/verification function.
Preset/Verification Function
This function allows the SR-600 Series to verify the read code data against the registered code data (preset data),
and output an OK/NG signal to indicate whether or not they match. This allows the SR-600 Series to perform simple
detection of different codes without a sensor or other devices.
One set of preset data can be stored in the SR-600 Series (maximum 494 digits).
The starting digit (starting position) and range (number of digits) for the verification can be set in the preset data, so
even 2D codes with more than 494 digits can be verified.
Note
The verification starts at the specified starting position on the preset data and continues for the
specified number of digits. Data cannot be verified at multiple points.
To register several pieces of preset data, use the DV-90 Series AutoID data controller.
Registering preset data

Use one of the following procedures to register preset data in the SR-600 Series:
Read a target code by turning on the external input terminal.
(You need to assign the preset data registration function to the external input terminal in advance.)
assigned to the input terminals" (Page 3-17)
Set with the AutoID Navigator (
"Option" (Page 5-33))
Set with a setup command (
"Setting Commands" (Page 7-16))
"Functions
Output terminal operation

The output terminals perform the following operation:
Reading successful and matches with preset data .......................OK is output
Reading successful but does not match with preset data .............NG is output
Reading error ..................................................................................ERROR is output
Preset data is registered successfully. ...........................................PRESET output
Note
By default, the PRESET output is not assigned to any of the OUT1 to OUT4 terminals. To connect the
PRESET output to an external device, you need to assign the PRESET output to an appropriate OUT
terminal.
Functions of "!" and "?" in the preset data (wild cards)

Registering the preset data with "!" or "?" increases the flexibility when comparing and verifying the code data with
the preset data.
"!" ....... This character represents an unlimited number of digits and can be used when any character for any
number of digits is OK. If the preset data is "ABC!", all codes that begin with "ABC" are verified as a match.
If the preset data is "!ABC", all codes that end with "ABC" are verified as a match. One "!" can be used in the
preset data.
"?" ...... This character represents one digit and can be used when any one character is OK. If the preset data is
"AB??56", any two characters positioned in "??" are verified as a match. By default, the PRESET output is not
assigned to any of the OUT1 to OUT4 terminals. To send the PRESET output to an external device, you
need to assign the PRESET output to an appropriate OUT terminal.
TIP
SR-600-M-NO3-E
If no preset data is registered, the SR-600 Series automatically assumes that "!" is registered as the
preset data. Consequently, it outputs OK when it reads a bar code successfully and outputs ERROR
when it fails reading, regardless of the data of the bar code.
3-9
3-4 Preset/Verification
Automatic increment verification function

This function is used to verify numerical values by adding/subtracting a certain value to/from the preset value after
every verification.
When the verification is OK, a value is added to/subtracted from the preset value. When the verification is NG, no
calculation is performed.
This function allows verification of codes including numerical values which increase/decrease by a constant value,
such as workpiece serial numbers.
When the automatic increment verification is selected, a specified value is added to or subtracted from the first
numerical value read after the setup or power-on, and the resulting value is used as the preset data.
When the PRESET input terminal is turned on during the automatic increment verification, the current preset value is
cleared, and the data read next is used as the first read data.
3
The numerical verification requires the following settings:

Verification method .....Select "Auto increment".
Increment ....................Enter a value used to add to or subtract from the read code value.
No. of digits.................For the numerical verification, the acceptable number of digits is one to nine digits.
The following is the operation example when two digits are referenced and an increment of +2 is specified:

3-6 Multi-I/O Function

You can assign various operating conditions to the I/O terminals of the SR-600 Series. This section describes the
operations available with the Multi-I/O function.
Function and Operation of the Input Terminals (IN1 and IN2)

Functions assigned to the input terminals
3
Only one of the following functions can be assigned to each of the input terminals IN1 and IN2:
Trigger input: Use the terminal to start/stop reading 2D bar codes.
Register preset data: Use the terminal to register the preset data with the SR-600 Series.
Start test mode: Use the terminal to activate the specified test mode.
(This function cannot be used to start the online mode.)
Activate quick calibration: Use the terminal to activate the quick calibration function.
None: Select this option when the terminal is not used as an input terminal.
Use AutoID Navigator or the send setting command to change the setting or assign the desired function.
* By default, the functions are assigned as follows:
N1: Trigger input
N2: Register preset data
Input terminal status and operation

The table below shows the relationship between the status of the input terminal and the operation of the assigned
function.

Synchronization with IN LED

Users can set the SR-600 Series to illuminate its IN LED when the IN1 or IN2 terminal turns on. When both IN1 and
IN2 terminals synchronize with the IN LED, the LED illuminates based on the OR condition of the terminal status.
(By default, only the IN1 terminal synchronizes with the LED.)
Input polarity setting

The polarity of the input terminal can be selected from "N.O. (normally open) contact" or "N.C. (normally closed)
contact".
(By default, "N.O. contact" is selected.)
The same input polarity is set for IN1 and IN2.
ON at power-on setting
Normally, the input terminal recognizes the change in the input signal (ON/OFF) after the SR-600 Series is turned on
and its operation stabilizes.
The input terminal does not operate if the input signal turns on before the operation stabilizes (approximately 2
seconds after power on).
If "ON at power-on" is enabled, the SR-600 Series recognizes the input ON status during the start-up period, and
after the operation stabilizes, it performs the operation specified for the input signal.
(By default, "ON at power-on" is disabled.)
Input time constant setting

Users can set the "Input time constant", which is the period required for the ON status of the input terminal to be
recognized. The function assigned to the input terminal is activated after the input stays on for the time specified
with "Input time constant" or longer.
(Input time constant setting range: Selectable from 1 ms, 2 ms or 10 ms; default setting is 1 ms.)

Function and Operation of the Output Terminals (OUT1, OUT2, OUT3,

and OUT4)
Functions assigned to the output terminals
The following functions can be assigned to the output terminals (OUT1 to OUT4). You can assign one or more
functions to each output terminal.
OK........................ This signal is output when a bar code is read successfully or when the comparison/verification
against preset data matches.
NG........................ This signal is output when the comparison/verification against the preset data does not match.
ERROR................. This signal is output when a read error occurs.
PRESET................ This signal is output when the preset data is registered successfully.
TUNING ............... This signal is output when the calibration is complete.
BUSY.................... This signal is output to notify the user that the SR-600 Series cannot read codes because it is
performing a specific operation. The BUSY signal has the following four variations according
to the current status or operation of the SR-600 Series:
TRG BUSY
: During the start-up period, trigger input, preset data registration, while the
laser pointer is on, or images are being saved to ROM.
USB BUSY
: During USB control mode
MODE BUSY : In setting mode, test mode, or during quick setup mode
ERR BUSY
: Error occurred (Buffer full, setting save error)
EXT.LIGHT............ This signal is output to control external illumination.
Note
3-18
The result output (OK, NG, ERROR, PRESET, TUNING), operation output (TRG BUSY, USB BUSY,
MODE BUSY, ERR BUSY), and EXT.LIGHT cannot be assigned to the same terminal.
EXT.LIGHT can be assigned to OUT4 only.
SR-600-M-NO3-E
Output terminal operation

The output terminals operate differently depending on the assigned function. There are three types of operations as
shown below:
OK, NG, ERROR, PRESET, and TUNING output
The above signals turn on the output for the specified output ON time when the respective event occurs.
ON
Event occurrence
OK/NG/ERROR
PRESET/TUNING
ON
Period of time set for output ON time
* For the above output functions, a higher priority is assigned to the output of the function which occurred last.
Consequently, when the next operation occurs during the output ON time of the previous operation, the signal is
switched to output the signal of the higher priority function.

Note
If the same operation occurs again within the period of the output ON time, the output turns off for 10 ms
and then turns on again to output the signal of the next operation. (If the same operation occurs
continuously at short intervals, the output turns on for at least 10 ms before it turns off and then turns on
again.)

3-7 Quick Setup Code

This section describes the quick setup code.
Quick Setup Code
Note
When reading the quick setup code with the high-resolution type unit (SR-600HA), you must use a
printer with high print quality. When a printer with low print quality is used, the cells in the 2D code may
bleed and become unreadable. Be sure to use a printer with 300 dpi or more for printing.
Reading the quick setup code

Use the following steps to read the quick setup code:
1
2
3
Press and hold the

button on the SR-600 Series for at least four seconds.
The operation begins and letters "C" and "0" are displayed alternately in the
multiple LED indicator.
Read the quick setup code.

The number of quick setup codes being read and "C" are displayed
alternately.
When all quick setup codes are read, the lighting emission stops and the
multiple LED indicator shows "d".
Press the
Note
SR-600-M-NO3-E
button quickly to end the operation.

During reading mode for the quick setup code, reading a code other than the quick
setup code causes "F" to appear on the multiple LED indicator and stops the
operation.
To configure the settings with the quick setup code, you need to read all quick setup
codes. If the reading is interrupted mid-process, the settings are not changed.
The preset data is not included in the quick setup code.
Either read the preset data or send it through AutoID Navigator.
3-21
3
Users can print the settings specified with AutoID Navigator as a bar code, and read the code with the SR-600
Series to change all the settings at once. When printing the quick setup code, use the AutoID Navigator quick setup
code printing function.
Since the settings of the SR-600 Series can be changed by just reading the code, you can change the settings even
in a location where a computer cannot be used.
3-8 Preventive Maintenance Information (PMI)

Preventive Maintenance Information (PMI) detects factors that reduce reading stability, such as the changes in code
marking quality or dirt on the scanner. This information can be used as diagnostic information to prevent serious
problems.
PMI assessment criteria
3
PMI is judged on the difference between the brightness during the scanning parameter calibration and the
brightness during actual reading.
The PMI assessment criteria is set as follows:
PMI=2
PMI=1
L1
PMI
PMI=0
L2
PMI=1

CAUTION
Reading brightness / Calibration brightness < L1

L4 < Reading brightness / Calibration brightness
WARNING
Reading error
*L1 to L4 = 001 to 100 (Set in units of 1)
How to determine the assessment criteria

Use the following method to acquire the brightness information used for determining the PMI assessment criteria:
Calibration brightness
Use the brightness value set in the scan settings.
When the quick calibration function is used, the brightness value can be obtained by reading the settings of the SR600 Series with the AutoID Navigator.
Reading brightness
The brightness during reading can be checked by running the reading rate test mode. Use the AutoID Navigator to
run the reading rate test mode and check the result.
Calculation of the assessment criteria value

Calculate the brightness values obtained above as follows to determine the assessment criteria value:
Assessment criteria value = (Reading brightness / Calibration brightness) x 10
* The preventive maintenance setting can be set between 0 and 100.
When the reading brightness is the same as the calibration brightness, the assessment criteria is 10.
Configuring the preventive maintenance setting

Configure the preventive maintenance setting based on the calculated assessment criteria.
The preventive maintenance setting can be configured in four levels: L1 to L4.
Be sure to set L1 < L2 < L3 < L4.
Note
3-22
PMI is 0 when the quick calibration is not performed or when the scan parameter settings are not
configured.
SR-600-M-NO3-E
3-9 Image Saving Function

This section describes the image saving function of the SR-600 Series.
Image Saving Function
You can use the AutoID Navigator to select either RAM or ROM as the destination to save the images.
Saving into RAM

When saving into RAM is selected, the scanned data for all parameter bank numbers being used is saved in the
RAM.
The saved image data will be cleared when the power supply is stopped or when the connection is established in
USB control mode.
During burst reading, all burst scan images are saved as the most recent images.
Example:
When the parameter banks are switched in the order of No. 1, 2, and 3 and decoding
succeeds for parameter bank No. 3, the image of each parameter bank is saved as follows:
Parameter bank No. 1: NG image 1
Parameter bank No. 2: NG image 2
Parameter bank No. 3: Most recent image
Saving into ROM

When saving into ROM is selected, the scanned data for all parameter bank numbers being used is saved in the
ROM when reading fails.
During burst reading, the scanned data for the specified burst scan number is saved in the ROM.
The saving into ROM function does not save the most recent image.
When an image is being saved into the ROM, the TRG BUSY output turns on and the next scan is disabled.
The saving time is approximately 5 to 36 seconds depending on the number of images to be saved.
The saved image data is retained even when the power supply is stopped.
SR-600-M-NO3-E
3-23
3
This function saves the latest images obtained for individual parameter banks into the memory of the SR-600 Series
and verifies them with the AutoID Navigator.
A maximum of 17 images can be saved: One for each parameter bank plus the most recent image.
To view the saved image, use the "View image" function of the AutoID Navigator. (

Reading Operation Process

This section describes the steps of the reading operation in detail.
Scanning and decoding
4
Operation of the SR-600 Series
After scanning an image, the SR-600 Series recognizes a code and decodes it.
The SR-600 Series achieves high speed reading ability by processing the image before decoding.
Scanning
The SR-600 Series illuminates the target to scan the image.
The scanning requires the following settings:
Exposure time
Specify the time to scan the image.
The longer the exposure time is set, the longer the
illumination is applied, resulting in brighter scanned data.
The shorter the exposure time is set, the shorter the
illumination is applied, resulting in darker scanned data.
TIP
The maximum exposure time is 9.99 ms.
Short
Long
Exposure time
Internal lighting and external lighting

The SR-600 Series incorporates an internal lighting mechanism.
You can select whether to use the built-in internal light or your own external lighting for scanning.
To use external lighting, assign the EXT.LIGHT output to the OUT4 terminal to output the timing signal to turn on the
lighting.
"Function and Operation of the Output Terminals (OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4)" (Page 3-18)
Note
The maximum time that the internal light can be pulsed on is 5 ms.
The maximum time that the external light can be pulsed on is 9.99 ms.
Obtaining data
After the exposure time elapses, the SR-600 Series obtains the scanned data. The time required to obtain the data is
approximately 16 ms.
4-2
SR-600-M-NO4-E
Decoding operation
Before decoding, the SR-600 Series processes the scanned data in several steps.
This section describes these processes.
Relationship between the image sample and light quantity waveform

Light
quantity
4
The image sample shows the image data scanned

and processed with the SR-600.
The light quantity waveform shows the quantity of
light (brightness) at every point along the
horizontal line on the image sample.
The greater the change in the light quantity
(contrast), the higher the reading stability
becomes.

Digitization (A/D conversion)

The scanned data is digitized.
This digitization does not require any internal user settings.
Gain
The scanned data is digitally amplified.
Dynamic range
The dynamic range of the obtained image is set.
The selectable range is "Hi-Sensitive", "Hi-SNR" (High S/N

Description
Image sample

Decoding range specification

The range used for decoding is specified.
Limiting the range reduces the time required for decoding.
Filtering
An image filter is applied to the scanned data.
The filter can be selected from the expand filter, shrink
filter, or a combination thereof.
You can, for example, expand dot printing to make reading
easier.
Decoding
The SR-600 Series searches for a code and analyzes it.
The higher the contrast between the background and cells
(for a bar code, between the bars and spaces), the more
stable reading is ensured.
TIP
For images to be saved or observed in the live view, they must complete up to step 7.
Alternate Function
This section describes the operation of the alternate function.
The alternate function performs scanning and decoding alternately.
For the operation of a specific parameter number, the number of scans/decodes is set with "Repeat read attempts",
and the timeout period for decoding is set with "Decode timeout".
If decoding fails even after scanning is repeated by the No. of in-bank retries, the bank is switched (alternated) to
the next bank.

Trigger Type
The SR-600 Series offers two trigger types: "Level trigger" and "One-shot trigger".
Normally, the "Level trigger" is used. Select the appropriate method according to your application.
This section describes an example using the following settings:
"Single Reading Mode" (Page 4-10))
Reading mode
: "Single read mode" (
Data-send timing
: "At reading end" (
"At reading end" (Page 4-7))
Output terminal settings: OUT1 = OK

OUT2 = NG + ERROR
OUT3 = ERROR
OUT4 = TRG BUSY
The following description refers to these outputs as OK, NG, ERROR, and TRGBUSY
respectively.
"3-6 Multi-I/O Function"
Note
The SR-600 Series does not accept trigger inputs for approximately 2 seconds after the power is turned
on.
During this period, the multiple LED indicator turns on all LEDs.
Be sure to turn on the trigger input after sufficient time has passed since the power was turned on.
When "Output BUSY upon power-up" is set to "On", the TRG BUSY output turns on for 500 ms after
power-up.
Level trigger
When the trigger input turns on, the SR-600 Series turns on the illumination to start scanning.
When a code is read successfully, it stops illumination and sends the data.
If the SR-600 Series fails to read a code, it stops illumination when the trigger input turns off and sends a reading
error.

Set the trigger input so that it stays on long enough for the target code to be entirely illuminated.
The illumination of the SR-600 Series turns on after the trigger input has been activated for the specified input
time constant.
The data communication time can be obtained using the following equation:
Data communication time =
Data length + (1: When parity is used) + Start/stop bits
Baud rate
(No. of digits of data to be sent + No. of characters of

header and terminator)
The ON time for the OK/NG/ERROR output can be set within the range of 10 to 2550 ms (Default: 500 ms).
SR-600-M-NO4-E
4-5
Note
TIP
When a code is read at an interval shorter than the specified output ON time, the OK/NG/ERROR output
turns off even if the output ON time of the previous output signal has not elapsed, and a new output
signal turns on for the specified output ON time. If output terminal operations of the same type occur
successively (such as OK to OK), the previous output signal turns off for 5 ms, and then the new output
signal turns on.
Refer to "Function and Operation of the Output Terminals (OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4)" (Page
3-18)
The TRGBUSY output turns on from the time the trigger input turns on to the time code reading is
complete or the trigger input is turned off.
One-shot trigger
When the SR-600 Series detects that the trigger input is on, it turns on the lighting for the specified one-shot trigger
duration to scan a code.
When a code is read successfully, it stops illumination and sends the data. The other operations are the same as
those for the level trigger.
Use the one-shot trigger if the ON time of the trigger input is extremely short or if you want to fix the reading time.
Timing diagram

OK/NG
ERROR
TRGBUSY output
When the trigger input stays on for the specified input time constant, the illumination of the SR-600 Series turns on
and the scanning begins. When the reading is complete, the illumination stops.
The input time constant for the trigger input can be changed to 1 ms, 2 ms, or 10 ms.
The one-shot trigger duration can be changed within the range of 10 to 25500 ms.
If the SR-600 Series fails to read a code within the one-shot trigger duration, it stops illumination and outputs a
reading error.
The other operations and precautions are the same as those for the level trigger.
Note
The ON state of the trigger input is recognized after the input stays on for at least the specified input time
constant.
The OFF state of the trigger input is recognized after the input stays off for at least the specified input
time constant. Consequently, when the line speed is fast and fast pulse signals are used as trigger input
signals, be careful to make the ON/OFF time of the pulse signals longer than the specified input time
constant.

Trigger input
When a > b (where "a" is the input time constant for the trigger input), the OFF state of the trigger input is

SR-600-M-NO4-E
Shutter delay
The SR-600 Series allows the setting of the "Shutter Delay" to delay the timing to start scanning.
By setting the shutter delay, you can synchronize the input from the sensor with the entry timing of the target when
they are out of sync.
The time can be set between 0 and 255 ms in increments of 1 ms (Default: 0 ms).

Data Transmission Timing

The SR-600 Series offers the following two types of timing for sending the read data and OK/NG/ERROR output:
At reading end
At trigger end
Select the appropriate type for your application. Normally, "At reading end" is used.
At reading end
The SR-600 Series outputs read data and an OK/NG signal as soon as it completes reading a code. If the SR-600
Series fails reading a code, it outputs a reading error code and an ERROR signal at the point when the timing signal
turns off. The timing diagrams are the same as those shown in "Trigger type".
SR-600-M-NO4-E
4-7
At trigger end
When "At trigger end" is selected, the SR-600 Series outputs read data and an OK/NG/ERROR signal at the next
timing point for the specified trigger type. Use this type to output data and output signals with the same timing.

4-2 Reading Mode

The SR-600 Series offers four types of reading modes. Select the appropriate type for your application. For most
applications, use "Single reading mode".
Single Reading Mode

In this mode, the SR-600 Series reads a single code while the trigger input is turned on, and then outputs the data.

* The above timing diagram shows the case where "Level trigger" and "At reading end" are selected.
In Single reading mode, the data transmission timing can be selected from "at reading end" or "at trigger end".
The trigger type can be selected from "Level trigger" or "One-shot trigger".
Reading multiple codes in Single reading mode

Normally, the Single read mode is used to read a single 2D code or bar code per trigger input. However, setting the
following reading parameters allows the mode to read multiple codes with one trigger input:
When "Multiple read" is selected in the code detail settings

When "Multiple read" is selected in the code detail settings, the specified number of codes can be read during one
reading operation as long as the codes are of the same type.
For setup, use either the code settings of the AutoID Navigator or the setting command.
The number of codes for multiple readings can be set between 2 and 4.
When "Allow fewer detection" is selected, the reading is considered successful if at least one code is read
successfully.
Note
This setting cannot read multiple codes of different types in one reading operation.
For the code output order, the code with the center coordinates closest to the top of the scan screen is
output first and when there are several codes at the same height, the one closest to the left side is
first.
The following output data format is used when "Multi read" is selected:
Header
1st data
2nd data
Terminator
,= Intermediate delimiter (The setting can be changed.)

(Default: Comma [2C]. Can be set using 5 characters or less.)

Continuous Reading Mode

In this mode, the SR-600 Series reads multiple codes in succession while the trigger input is turned on once.
In continuous reading mode, the laser-aim beam is emitted for the specified laser-aim blinking duration every time a
code is scanned.
Scanning is not performed while the laser beam is being emitted.
In Continuous reading mode, the SR-600 Series sends out data every time it reads one code and outputs an OK
signal (or an OK/NG signal when preset data is registered). If no data is read while the trigger input is turned on, a
reading error code and an ERROR signal are output after the trigger input turns off.

The repeat-reading prevention time is required to prevent the same code from being read twice. When codes with
the same contents are read in succession, adjust the moving speed so that the codes pass at intervals longer
than the specified repeat-reading prevention time (Setting range: 100 to 25500 ms). Codes with different contents
can be read at shorter intervals.
Note
SR-600-M-NO4-E
In the continuous reading mode, the decode timeout will be set to the maximum value (2550 ms).
4-11
4-2 Reading Mode
Bank Collection Reading Mode

The Bank collection reading mode is used to read the codes in the parameter banks with registered settings when a
trigger input is turned on once.
In Bank collection reading mode, the laser-aim beam is emitted for the specified laser-aim blinking duration every
time a code is scanned.
When all codes (16 types max.) in the parameter banks are read, the read data is sent in the order of parameter
bank No. 1 to 16 at the point when the timing signal turns off, and an OK/NG signal is output.
If no code was read while the trigger input was turned on or if at least one code of a parameter bank was not read,
the SR-600 Series sends a reading error and outputs an ERROR signal for the unread code after the trigger input
turns off.

4-2 Reading Mode
Burst Reading Mode

The burst reading mode is a function to repeat scan up to a maximum of 8 times in succession and perform
decoding after the scanning is complete.
When, for example, the line speed is fast and accurate positioning is difficult, this function ensures scanning without
missing codes by repeating scans only for the period during which the target is expected to pass.
Note
The alternate function cannot be used in Burst reading mode.

Decoding is performed for the specified parameter bank No. setting.
In Burst reading mode, the No. of repeat read attempts setting is ignored.

6-1 Mounting the SR-600 Series

This chapter describes how to properly mount the SR-600 Series readers.
Before Mounting the SR-600 Series:

Check the following before mounting the SR-600 Series
Confirm that ambient light (sunlight, overhead lighting, photoelectric sensors, etc.)
is not affecting the SR-600 Series.
Prevent ambient light from entering the light receiving area of the SR-600 Series. Ambient light may lead to unstable
reading.
Shield from ambient light.
6
Photoelectric
sensor
Countermeasure
Change the sensor position.
Verify that the reader's beam is not obstructed.

If the scanner is obstructed, the code may be unreadable.
Obstruction
Countermeasure
Illumination
Change the position of the obstruction

to ensure the passage of the light.
Code
Check whether the reader's angle creates a specular reflection.

If the beam is aimed perpendicularly to the code, a specular reflection could result. It will then be difficult for the
reader to scan the code, and therefore may provide unstable data.
Countermeasure
15
Illumination
Be sure to mount the scanner at

an angle.
6-2
SR-600-M-NO6-E
When using several SR-600 Series in a row, verify that they do not interfere with each
other.
If light from one SR-600 Series unit enters the receiver of another, the reading may become unstable.
Provide
sufficient
distance
between the
SR-600 Series
units.

codes that you plan to use.
TIP
Note
When using targets where there is low contrast between the code and the background, increase the
installation angle (greater than 20) to stabilize the reading.
Do not mount the scanner at an angle where the beam is nearly perpendicular to the 2D codes or bar
codes.
The reading may become unstable due to the light received from specular reflection.

7-1 Serial Communication

Serial communication is used to send data between the SR-600 Series and the computer to change the settings of
the SR-600 Series without using the AutoID Navigator software.
Serial Communication Formats

There are two serial communication formats that the SR-600 Series can use to communicate with a computer.
Both formats use ASCII code (
Page A-17) to communicate.
Data communication
This sends data read by the SR-600 Series to a computer.
Command communication
This sends commands from the computer to the SR-600 Series to change the device settings.
Serial Communication Settings
Before using serial communication, set the communication parameters of the SR-600 Series and the computer.
SR-600 Series settings

Use the AutoID Navigator to set the following settings:
Communication conditions : Baud rate, data bit length, parity, and stop bit length
Communication protocol
Communication data format: Header and terminator

Read error code
TIP
Page 7-24

Factory defaults for the SR-600 Series communication conditions

The factory default settings for SR-600 Series communication conditions are as follows:
Baud rate
: 115200 bit/s
Data bit length : 8 bit
Parity
: Even
Stop bit length : 1 bit
TIP

Hold the
button for 6 seconds or longer to put the SR-600 Series in default communication mode.
SR-600-M-NO7-E
7-2 Data Communication

This section describes the data format and communication protocols.
Communication Protocols
The SR-600 Series has four available protocols (data communication formats).
No Handshaking
The SR-600 Series sends data to the computer without handshaking.
Read data
SR-600 Series
PASS/RTRY
The SR-600 Series sends data to the computer using the following protocol:
The SR-600 Series sends data to the computer.
Read data
Response
SR-600 Series
The SR-600 Series waits for a response from the computer.
Note
The SR-600 Series can still read data while waiting for a response. Data read while waiting for a
response from the computer will be stored in the send buffer.
The computer sends one of the following responses to the SR-600 Series.
PASS: Transmission complete (The device does not respond to PASS).
RTRY: Resend the same data and wait for a PASS response.
Note
SR-600-M-NO7-E
If the SR-600 Series send buffer is overloaded, the device will perform the following actions and then
suspend operations:
The device sends "OVER" to the computer.
All data in the send buffer is cleared.
Send a "PASS" signal from the computer to the SR-600 Series to restore the device.
7-3
z PASS and RTRY formats

PASS
* ESC
CR
LF
(RTRY C R ), or ST X PASS E T X ( ST X RTRY E T X )

can be added to the start and end of the transmission.
Important
The SR-600 Series is able to receive any command while waiting for a PASS signal. This allows for a
response to be sent to a command (such as OK) without delay.
If the SR-600 Series receives a RESET command while waiting for a reply, the send buffer will be
cleared.
ACK/NAK
This protocol uses A C K (06h) instead of "PASS" and N A K (15h) instead of "RTRY".
Beside the differences in the character strings used, this protocol is identical to the PASS/RTRY protocol.
Important
suspend operations:
Send an "ACK" signal from the computer to the SR-600 Series to restore the device.
RTS/CTS
Depending on the RTS state of the computer, the SR-600 Series will operate as follows:
When the computer RTS (SR-600 Series CTS) is deactivated, the SR-600 Series will wait for a data transmission.
When the computer RTS is activated, the SR-600 Series will send data acquired while waiting.
The SR-600 Series can read codes while the computer RTS is off.
Data read while waiting for a response from the computer will be stored in the send buffer.
If the computer RTS is activated, the SR-600 Series will not respond to commands (such as OK).
If the communication type is set to RS-422A, the RTS/CTS protocol is not used.
For communication types other than RS-422A, the RTS/CTS protocol can be used.
Important
suspend operations:
Turn the computer RTS on to restore the SR-600 Series.
Send Buffer Capacity

The send buffer of the SR-600 Series can hold up to 10kB of data.
The number of characters for each entry includes the header and delimiter.
When the number of characters in data exceeds 10kB, the send buffer overflows.
If the send buffer overflows, the SR-600 Series will send an "OVER" message to the computer and then clear the
send buffer.
7-4
SR-600-M-NO7-E
Read Data Communication Format

Read data is sent to the computer with the header and delimiter already added, as shown below.

7-3 Command Communication

This section describes command communication between the SR-600 Series and the computer.
Types of Command Communication

There are two types of command:
Direct control commands

These are commands that directly control the SR-600 Series.
Setting commands
These are commands that change and confirm settings in the SR-600 Series.
Command Communication Process
The computer sends commands (direct control commands or setting commands) to the SR-600 Series.
Command
Response
SR-600 Series
The SR-600 Series sends responses (such as OK or error) to the computer.
Command Communication Format

Command
LF
will not be added to the reply.
If E S C is added at the head of the data, the E S C will clear the SR-600 Series receive buffer.
If unnecessary characters appear, append E S C to the command communication.
When communicating with the SR-600 Series, make sure that each character (byte) is sent within 10
seconds of the previous character (byte). If more than 10 seconds pass, the SR-600 Series will delete
all received characters.
SR-600-M-NO7-E
Response error codes

An error will reply as "ERR**", where ** = error code.

23
Buffer overflow
The buffer has overflowed, so commands cannot be executed
ROM error
An error occurred while loading or saving parameters, so commands cannot

be executed.
24
A command not allowed in batch settings has been specified
If unnecessary characters are added to the commands, ERR00 will result. Example: SSETA, RP701
If there are abnormalities in the command parameters or format and a non-executable command is received,
the mode mismatch error (ERR20) takes priority.
However, if there are commands in the batch mode, the batch mode command error takes priority.
(If the meaning varies depending on the mode, such as with the TEST command, the result for the mode
which was effective during the command processing will be returned.)
If PASS/RTRY(ACK/NAK) is received during setting mode while PASS/RTRY(ACK/NAK) is active, ERR20 will be
displayed.
If PASS/RTRY is received while PASS/RTRY is not activated, ERR00 will be displayed.

Direct Control Commands

This section explains direct control commands.
Control of reading operations

Trigger on command
Send command : LON
Response
: None
Trigger on command with a specified parameter bank

This specifies a parameter bank and executes a read operation.
Send command : LONm (m = 1 to 16)
Response
: None
Trigger off command
Send command : LOFF

Response
: None
Reading via a command uses the same operations as reading via trigger input.
When the reading mode is set to "Single", and "At reading end" is selected for the data sending timing, there is no
need to send "LOFF" once reading has finished.
Commands can be customized, up to eight characters.
Registering preset data

Beginning preset data registration
Send command : PRON
Response
: None
Ending preset data registration

Send command : PROFF
Response
: None
Preset data can be up to 494 characters.

I/O terminal control

Checks the input terminal status and controls ON/OFF of the output terminals.
Check the input terminal status

Send command : INnCHK
Response
: ON (The input terminal is turned on.)
: OFF (The input terminal is turned off.)
n = 1 (IN1 terminal) or 2 (IN2 terminal)
Turn on/off the output terminal (individual control)

Send command to turn on OUTn : OUTnON
Send command to turn off OUTn : OUTnOFF
Response
: OK
n = 1 to 4 (OUT1 to OUT4 terminals)
Turn on/off the output terminal (batch control)
Send command to turn on all outputs : ALLON

Send command to turn off all outputs : ALLOFF
Response
: OK
When two or more commands are sent, priority will be given to the command which is sent last.
Reset the SR-600 Series

Reset the SR-600 Series to the condition at power-on without actually turning off the power.
Send command : RESET
Response
: OK
* The SR-600 Series is reset after outputting the OK response. After sending the reset command, wait 2 seconds or
more before performing the next operation.
Clearing the send buffer

All data in the SR-600 Series send buffer is deleted.
Send command : BCLR
Response
: OK
Changing to setting mode, Closing the setting mode

This command switches from operation mode to setting mode and returns to operation mode from setting mode.
Change to setting mode Send command : SSET
Response
: OK
Quit setting mode
Send command SEND
Response
: OK
The SR-600 Series will switch to setting mode whenever the SSET command is received, even if the device is
carrying out a trigger command (such as LON) or is in test mode.
Remember to end setting mode with the end setting mode command (SEND).
7-14
SR-600-M-NO7-E
Confirming the read history

This displays the number of OK reads, NG reads, read errors, and the number of trigger inputs since the machine
was turned on.
Send command : NUM
Response
: OK/NG/ERROR/TIMING = a/b/c/d
a : No. of OKs (0 to 65535)
b : No. of NGs (0 to 65535)
c : No. of ERRORS (0 to 65535)
d : No. of timing inputs (0 to 65535)
The NUM command allows you to look at the read history.
Turning the power off or sending a RESET command will reset the read history.
This history does not include a count of OK/NG/ERR results obtained when registering preset data.
Tuning operation
SR-600-M-NO7-E
Parameters can be calibrated by sending commands and then saving them in a specified parameter bank.
Send command : TUNE mm (mm = parameter bank number 01 to 16)
Response
: OK
The output will be as follows:

7-15
When the TUNE command is sent, the laser pointer will not illuminate. Additionally, the SR-600 Series will return
an error code (ERR20) if it receives a command while the laser pointer is active.
To quit the tuning, send TQUIT.
Send command : TQUIT
Response
: OK
Important
Upon receiving direct control commands in any mode other than operating mode (such as setting mode,
test mode or while switching devices), the SR-600 Series will reply with an error code (ERR**).
For more information on error codes, see the error code list on Page 7-11.
Setting Commands
Sending setting commands
There are four steps to sending the setting commands to the SR-600 series:
Send the command to switch the SR-600 Series to the setting mode (send "SSET")
The SR-600 Series enters the setting mode.
When the command is completed .......................OK is returned.
Send a change or confirm the desired setting command

When a command to change settings is sent
When the setting is completed successfully .......OK is returned.
When a setting error occurs.................................ERR** (**: Error code) is returned.
When a command to confirm settings is sent
When the command is completed successfully ..The current settings are returned.
When an error occurs ..........................................ERR** (**: Error code) is returned.
To save the settings into ROM, send the save command (SAVE).
Once the settings are stored in the ROM, the SR-600 Series starts with the changed settings from the next power-on.
When the command is completed successfully ..OK is returned.
When an error occurs ..........................................ERR** (**: Error code) is returned.
Send a command to switch the SR-600 Series back to the operation mode ("SEND" command).
When the command is completed successfully ..OK is returned.
When an incorrect command is sent ...................ERR** is returned.

This section explains the commands for "Code Setting 1" through "Code Setting 8".
When making these settings, be sure to send a "Code type" setting command before changing other settings.
When sending a new "Code type" setting, the other items in that code number will be reset to their
defaults. Be sure to change them back to the desired values.

This section explains how to control an NX-50CL from a PLC connected to a network via CC-link.
TIP
Refer to the manuals that came with the individual devices in question for more information about
subjects such as the CC-Link master unit and details about the PLC.
Operating on a System that Uses CC-Link

Note the following when operating an NX-50CL over a network that uses CC-Link:
The NX-50CL is a CC-Link Ver. 2.00 compatible network controller.

Use this device with a CC-Link Ver. 2.00 compatible master device.
CC-Link can connect up to 64 devices.
However, the number of units that can be controlled by a single unit may
be different.
One NX-50CL can control two or more units.
Refer to the user's manual for the CC-Link device you are using for information on calculating the
number of units controlled and the maximum number of connections.
The total cable length for CC-Link devices is 1.2 km (at 156 kb/s).
Refer to the following table for information on communication speeds and cable length.

Use CC-Link cables (version 1.10 or later) to connect the NX-50CL to other devices.
Make sure to connect the devices on either end of the CC-Link to a "Terminator" (110 ) in the DA-DB
interval.
When connecting an NX-50CL to a network, turn the terminator switch on.
Refer to
"NX-50CL" (Page 1-11) for more information on terminator switches.

CC-Link Memory and Operations

NX-50CL devices connected over CC-Link operate as slave units (remote device units) for the CC-Link master unit.
The NX-50CL buffer memory is linked to the CC-Link master unit remote input/output and the remote register as
shown in the section "Memory configuration" below.
Use settings and programming (
"Setting and Programming" Page 8-7) under this memory configuration to
control SR-600 Series devices.

The NX-50CL can store up to two data transmissions from an SR-600 Series device. Thus, if there
have been three transmissions from an SR-600 Series device when you are sending data from the
CC-Link master station, the first transmission will be deleted so that the new data will fit in the buffer.
Do not set the head to the PASS/RTRY protocol.
The NX-50CL does not have exclusive control over sending commands to SR-600 Series devices nor
over hard trigger input. Thus it is possible that sent commands sent to an SR-600 Series device will be
ignored if a hard trigger is received before the command is confirmed.

(1) Basic settings

Perform N-L1 Ethernet communication setting
IP address
: Register IP address.
Subnet mask
: Register subnet mask.
Default gateway
: Register default gateway.
Port number
: Register port number.
Password
: Set the password for telnet connection. (Default: RAS)
MAC address
: When the setting is received, the MAC address of the N-L1 will be displayed.
Important
Port number 23 cannot be used (during configuration transmission) because it is reserved for setup
communication. Select another port number.
(2) Operation setting

The N-L1 supports both server and client operations. The factory default settings do not specify the destination
of a connection. To use the N-L1 as a client, you need to send setting commands to register the port number
and IP address of the device to be connected as the setting of the N-L1.
Establish connection request
Set the timing at which the N-L1 requests a connection, when used as a client.
Normally, select [Disable].
Enable
: Request a connection as necessary when no connection has been established, such as
immediately after the N-L1 is turned on.
Disable
: Request a connection only when read data arrives from the SR-600 Series.
Destination device setting
IP address
: Set the IP address of the device to be connected.
Port No.
: Set the port number of the device to be connected.
Note
9-6
When [Connection request] is set to [Enable], the AutoID Navigator cannot update the connection.
SR-600-M-NO9-E
(3) Keep Alive function and Idle function

Select the operation when the status of no TCP communication continues for a specified period. There are three
options as shown below.
Set the period of no communication with the monitor timer. (1 to 60 minutes)
Normally, use the Keep Alive function (No communication period: 1 minute).
Use keep alive : When the specified period elapses, a Keep command is sent to confirm a connection.
Use idle timer : When the specified period elapses, the communication is disconnected without
confirmation.
Not use
: The period of no connection is not monitored.
RS-232C Setting
Set the parameters used for the communication between the N-L1 and SR-600 Series.
Be sure that the communication parameters of the N-L1 are the same as those of the SR-600 Series.

Even if the data transmission timing has not been reached, data will be sent when the data in the TCP
transmission buffer reaches the maximum transmission size (256 bytes).
When the RTS/CTS control is set to [Disable], the communication may not be stable due to data
collision during communication. Be sure to set the option to [Enable].

Setting the N-L1

Telnet connection
Start a telnet application to set the N-L1.
The typical methods to establish a telnet connection are as follows:
Command prompt
HyperTerminal
TeraTerm
This section describes the method to establish connection by using a command prompt.
Start a command prompt and establish telnet connection with the N-L1.
Command
: telnet 192.168.0.1
9
When the telnet connection is successfully established, a password prompt appears. Enter the following
password.
Password
Note
9-8
: RAS (half-width upper-case characters)
The password you typed ("RAS") is not shown on the command prompt screen.
When you have logged in successfully, a message similar to the following is displayed.
SR-600-M-NO9-E
Enter the setting values.

For example, to change the IP address of the N-L1 to "192.168.0.100", type the following.
Command
: l_ip=192.168.0.100
Response
: OK
"Setting Command List" (Page 9-11)
To save the settings in the N-L1, send a "save" command.

Command
Response
: save
: OK
Note
When the save command is sent, the settings are saved in the EEPROM.
It may take one or two seconds before you receive the OK response after the save command is sent.
To finish the setting, type "exit" and terminate the telnet connection.
This completes the setting of the N-L1.

Turn off the N-L1, set the RESET/RUN switch to RUN, and turn on the unit again. The N-L1 starts up with the new
settings.
SR-600-M-NO9-E
9-9
CAUTION
After the setting has been changed, users can still change the setting through the telnet
connection using the new IP address.
If you forget the new IP address, you can reset the N-L1 to the factory setting by turning off the
unit, setting the RESET/RUN switch to RESET, and then turning on the unit. Set the N-L1 again
from the beginning.
If no entry is made for 60 seconds after the password has been entered, the telnet connection
will be disconnected. When this occurs, you need to establish the telnet connection again.
Checking the connection of the N-L1

Check that the N-L1, which you have changed the settings on, can connect properly to the PC.
Send a "ping" command to the N-L1 according to the following example.
Example:
To send a ping command to the N-L1 of which you changed the IP address to "192.168.0.100"
Command
: ping 192.168.0.100
9
When connection is successfully established, a response screen similar to the one above appears.

9-3 Troubleshooting the N-L1

This section lists the possible problems you may encounter during the use of the N-L1 and their countermeasures.
Communication fails.
Check the Ethernet communication status between the N-L1 and the connected device.
Check that the LAN cable is connected properly.
You must use a cross cable to directly connect the N-L1 to a personal computer. Ensure that a straight cable is not
used.
To check the network path to the connected device and the network configuration, connect to the N-L1 with telnet,
send the "ping" command and check the response. When Time_out is returned, check that the IP address of the
device connected with the N-L1 and the IP address set to the N-L1 are the same.
To confirm the network route to the N-L1, send "ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" ("XXX" is the IP address set in the N-L1)
from the PC and check the response. If you are not certain of the IP address of the N-L1, turn off the N-L1, set the
RUN/RESET switch of the N-L1 to RESET, and then turn on the N-L1 again. Use the factory default IP address.
Check the communication between the SR-600 Series and the N-L1.
Read a code with the SR-600 Series and confirm that the communication status LED of the N-L1 flashes. If the
LED does not flash, confirm that the communication settings of the SR-600 Series and N-L1 are the same.
Important
When connecting the SR-600 Series to the N-L1, be sure to set the RTS/CTS protocol setting of the SR600 Series to "Enable".
Does not turn on.

Confirm that the power LED of the N-L1 is lit. If it is not lit, check that the 24 VDC power supply cable is properly
connected.
SR-600-M-NO9-E
Important
The N-L1 does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet). Be sure to connect a 24 VDC power supply to
the power supply terminal of the N-L1.

It is recommended to install the reader such that the code will be positioned in the center of the field of
view.
There are cases where, depending on the conditions of the code, a code is unreadable even though it
fits within the field of view. To verify operation, use the test mode to make sure that codes can be read.
SR-600-M-NOA-E
Troubleshooting
If you suspect that your SR-600 Series device is operating abnormally, check the following.
If this does not solve the problem, contact your nearest KEYENCE sales office.
Unable to read 2D codes and bar codes

Is the illumination LED on?
When using the communication units (NX-50CL, N-R2/R4/UB/L1, or DV-90), make sure that the power supply and
the trigger input are properly connected.
Is [Internal lighting] set to [Disable]? Reset it and try again.
Have the buttons on the reader been activated? The buttons prevent reading when they are being used.
Check the buttons and turn them off.
Is the code setting correct?

Confirm the following settings in the AutoID Navigator.
Recorded code type
Number of digits read
Other settings for each code
Has the device been calibrated for these codes?

It may be necessary to perform a quick calibration after confirming the settings in the AutoID Navigator.
There are 16 different parameter banks that can be registered with quick calibration.
Registering parameters such as the worst print quality or the fastest movement may prevent read errors from
occurring.
When parts of several codes exist the scan range, decoding may take longer.
Set the decode timeout to a longer limit and try reading again.
Appendix
Are the installation distance and angle optimal?

Confirm the distance from the SR-600 Series device to the target code.
The focal distance is 60 mm for the SR-600, 100 mm for the SR-610, and 38 mm for the SR-600HA.
Use the test mode to determine the code read ratio.
Verify the mounting angle so that the SR-600 Series does not experience specular reflection (recommended
range between -15 and +20).
Is the scanner dirty?

Use a soft cloth to clean any water, oil or dust from the scanner.
Is there a problem with the print quality of the 2D code or bar code?
It may be difficult to read codes that have many cracks, chips, specks or blurs.
Codes printed on a dot impact printer or an inkjet printer often have many of the above problems.
Unable to perform quick calibration

Is the laser pointer on?
Turn the laser pointer off and then retry the quick calibration.
Is the device set to read the correct type of code?

Set the type of code to be read in the AutoID Navigator.
Are the quick tuning conditions specified properly?

Confirm that the quick tuning conditions are properly set for the code to be read.

6 Troubleshooting
Unable to send or receive via the AutoID Navigator

Is the model properly registered with the AutoID Navigator?
To send or receive settings via the AutoID Navigator, you need to select a proper device model and update the
connection before sending settings. (Refer to
Chapter 5 AutoID Navigator Functions and Operation)
Has the connection been updated?

The AutoID Navigator requires that the connection be updated before sending settings.
Unable to communicate with the field network via Ethernet

Refer to the relevant page in this manual.
Chapter 8 Field Network Communication
Chapter 9 Ethernet Communication
An error occurs
When the multiple LED indicator shows "E" and "r" repeatedly, perform the following operation to clear the parameter
bank settings.
When the settings are cleared successfully, the multiple LED indicator shows "C".
Operation
Appendix
Hold down and turn on the

power (5 seconds).

Checksum Calculation Method
A checksum can be appended to the read data as it is being transmitted.

* No checksum can be appended to commands or responses.
The checksum allows you to check if RS-232C communications have become corrupted. If the checksum does
not match by using the PASS/RTRY or ACK/NAK protocols, build a program that requests it again (RTRY or
NAK ).
* Checksums cannot be appended when using a PLC link.
Checksum calculation range and location

The checksum is calculated using all characters that are not a part of the header or the delimiter and is then
appended immediately before the delimiter as two characters of ASCII code.

Checksum calculation method

If the read data is "ABC123", the checksum (cc) will be counted.
The characters are converted to ASCII code and converted into two 8-bit binary numbers as shown below.
Each bit of each character is then fed to an Exclusive Or function.

* Exclusive Or returns 1 if there is an odd number of 1 bits and 0 if there is an even number of 1 bits.
The 2-digit hexadecimal result of this calculation is the checksum.
So cc = 70 (37h 30h)
