Please see attached document for a step by step guide on reader setup (=client) and server setup.
Attached to this article is a step by step guide for settings up MicroHAWK ID readers as well as Microhawk MV cameras to send FTP images directly to a server. The document describes the setup on the server side using Filezilla, as well as setup on the reader / smart camera.
Before executing the attached WSF File (Windows Script File), you must:
- Certify that Telnet Client is enabled on Windows. For more information, please check the article "Enabling Telnet Client on Windows".
Attention: This simple package does not check the entered values and does not check if the Dual Boot is installed on the unit!
When executed:
1. Enter the MicroHAWK IP Address and click OK.
2. Select the Boot Package Option and the Boot Package Number.
3. Click OK. The ‘lbp’ command is executed.

NERLITE currently does not offer a SCDI-25 that uses blue LEDs. If you require a blue SCDI then you would need to use: P/N: NER-010304020 SCDI-50 V2, B LED-D, 12V-C, 6 ft. Cbl w/ DB9
The LVS-9570 operator manual describes the proper technique for verifying a barcode when using LVS-9570. The unit should be pulled at a slow, steady rate toward the user in the direction toward the back of the unit (where the USB connector is located). This is in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the outside of the housing, which is used to indicate where the center of the scanning sensor is located. If the LVS-9570 is pulled too quickly across the label, then an over-speed error will be displayed in the LVS-95XX software and no grade will be provided. Barcodes of up to 305 mm (12") long can be scanned in a ladder orientation, with a maximum 137mm (5.4") maximum barcode height.

A common request is to convert RS-232 serial data to USB HID Keyboard input. The attached spec sheet is for an adapter that seems to work well as a USB Keyboard input device. The DB-9 connector will plug into any Microscan RS-232 Host cable with DB-9 termination. When using the keyboard interface, keep in mind: - All data coming from the device will be typed into any active window. this interface should not be used in automated applications. - keyboard throughput is slower than other interfaces, so it should not be used in high speed applications.
If scanning the RIMS barcode, but file is not found:
- Insure the QC or LVS7000 PC is turned ON. RIMS can only retrieve job data from a powered PC.
- Insure the QC / LVS7000 PC is on the Network. This may require customer IT support.
- Insure the JOBS folder on the In1= PATH (QC / LVS7000 PC) has File Sharing enabled. This may require customer IT support.

The attached white paper is about using Telnet to reset a Vision MINI or Vision HAWK ConsoleTTY for use with AutoVISION and Visionscape.
Here is the procedure to reset the Ethernet card: Note: Restoring the Ethernet card to its factory default settings will clear all current settings except the IP address settings and the administrator password. 1. Power off the scanner. 2. Separate the MS-890 from the wiring box using the four screws in the corners. 3. Locate the reset switch between P3 and CR1 on the Ethernet card. 3. Power on the scanner while holding the reset switch down. (Hold it down for about 20 seconds.)
The Area Arrays with diffusers are no longer available. This is because they were replaced by the Backlight BL series, which will provide more even illumination. To replace the Diffused AR currently used, select the backlight with the same color and similar size, when compared to the AR model.
this is a 12V ring light, we no longer sell. the new parts to order for the light and power (US cable) are: NER-011605010 R-60-2, R LED-ND/D, 24V-C, 4.5M (15 ft.) Cbl w/Flying Leads NER-011504100 DSP60 24VDC 2.5A DIN Mount Power Supply NER-030028300 AC Power Cord for DSPxx Power Supply, US
This cable is not supported by Microscan. To order a replacement, contact Brent at NTS ntsbrent@comcast.net
In AutoVISION 4.0+, connect to the camera and take control (lock)
press CTRL-SHIFT-L
The License Manager window will open to allow you remove the license from the camera, as seen below.
** DO NOT REMOVE the Machine Vision.lic **
To restore, go to license folder and rename the desired license back to *.lic
If a Visionscape (.AVP) job does not open in FrontRunner, the file cannot be recovered. A backup copy of the Visionscape job must be used.

To do a hard reset if the HS-2D or Mobiel Hawk that is completely locked up: 1. Unplug the reader from the PC. 2. While holding the trigger down, plug the reader into the USB port on the PC. You will hear 5 rapid beeps and then you can let go of the trigger. The unit is now in Boot Mode. 3. To reset the reader, simply hold the trigger down again for approximately 5 seconds until it reboots. The reader will vibrate first and then beep several times and is now reset.
This procedure intends to provide a very simple way to read output values from Microscan Smart Cameras into an Excel spreadsheet (CSV format).
If the output value from the camera contains a comma (as part of a string, for example) it will be treated as a separator and not as part of the read value. In this case, please, use the “Reading Values in Excel (TXT File)” .
1. Reading Text Files in Excel
Usually, there are two ways to import data from text files into Excel: delimited text file (.txt) and comma separated values text files (.csv).This procedure presents the use of comma separated values text files (.csv), with the comma character (,) used as the separator of each field of text.
Attention: If the output value from the camera contains a comma (as part of a string, for example) it will be treated as a separator and not as part of the read value. In this case, please, use the “Reading Values in Excel (TXT File)” document.
2. PuTTY Software
This simple solution use PuTTY (http://www.putty.org/) to read output values from Microscan Smart Cameras: PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client, developed originally by Simon Tatham for the Windows platform. PuTTY is open source software that is available with source code and is developed and supported by a group of volunteers.You can download PuTTY here.
3. Simple Example
A simple example is used to demonstrate this functionality: reading output values from two Count Tools (Number of Parts) in AutoVISION and FrontRunner:
Microscan - Excel_CSV_AV.avp
Microscan - Excel_CSV_FR.avp
4. Defining Output Format
TCP/Serial Output (AutoVISION) and Formatted Output (FrontRunner) accept the following special characters:| \a bell \b backspace \f form feed | \n new line \r carriage return \t horizontal tab | \v vertical tab \’ single quote \” double quote | \? question mark \ooo octal ASCII value (\145 = 'e') \xhh hexadecimal ASCII value (\x4C = 'L') |
4.1 Defining Output Format – AutoVISION
The comma character ( , ) must be inserted between each value to be transmitted (as many as needed). At the end of the transmission, a Carriage Return (\r) and a New Line (\n) must be also inserted (\r\n).
4.2 Defining Output Format – FrontRunner
With much more flexibility, the Output Format can be defined in the same way as in AutoVISION (just one output string for all information) or in separate output string for each information.Anyway, the comma character ( , ) must be inserted between each value to be transmitted (as many as needed) , and a Carriage Return (\r) and a New Line (\n) must be also inserted (\r\n) at the end of the transmission.
Defining Output Format in FrontRunner (just one line for all information) – Step Tree Editor View
Format: %d\t%d\r\n
Additional information is available into “Visionscape Tools Reference” (Chapter 1, “Formatted Output”).
5. Connecting PuTTY
Into Session Category, enter the IP Address of the Smart Camera (for Emulator mode, enter ‘127.0.0.1’), the TCP Port defined in the JOB to send out the information (the above examples use the port ‘49211’) and select Telnet as the Connection Type:
Moving to Logging (into Session Category), select All session output option (Session logging) and define the Log file name as CSV extension.
Click on Browse… to define the path for this file:
Click on
to connect to the device / emulator.PuTTY window is updated as soon as the data is sent out by the device / emulator (the CSV file is also updated):
6. Opening CSV file in Excel
When finished the acquisition (or even during the operation), double click on the CSV file:
All data will be into the spreadsheet (the CSV file can now be saved as an Excel file):
The first row contains PuTTY log info

This problem typically occurs when trying to run FrontRunner or AppRunner software. An error: R6030 CRT not initialized message, which causes FrontRunner or AppRunner to immediately terminate. The source of the problem is a conflict with a National Instruments software component that is installed on the computer. The offending component is often located in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\mDNSResponder\nimdnsNSP.dll renaming this from .dll to .sav corrects the problem with Visionscape software and allows FrontRunner or AppRunner to start properly.
Support available for Itran MVP 2000T (I-Pak Classic)?
in Machine Vision
Posted
In September 2008, Microscan acquired the Siemens Machine Vision group, which through the mergers over the years can be traced back to Itran. Itran is the company developed the MVP 2000T (I-Pak Classic) vision system. In 1999, RVSI Acuity CiMatrix notified all registered I-Pak Classic customers that product support could only be guaranteed through December 2000. At this point Microscan does not provide support for the I-Pak Classic vision system. Microscan has expanded on the capabilities of the I-Pak Classic vision system over several generations of product and currently offers the Visionscape I-Pak vision system to meet the pharmaceutical packaging inspection requirements. More information on this product can be found on the Microscan website at: http://www.microscan.com/en-us/Products/Engineered-Solutions/I-PAK-Package-Inspection-System.aspx This web page provides a brief overview of the Visionscape I-Pak models that are currently offered and provides a link to the current I-Pak spec sheet.
