Page 136: Data Collection Wedge Introduction
This software component is the interface between data collection devices such as bar code scanners, or imagers, externally connected to a COM port on the Thor VM1 or bar code scanners wirelessly connected via Bluetooth to your Thor VM1. This software component collects the data from the varied sources and presents it to applications on your Thor VM1 in a transparent manner.
Page 137: Bar Code Readers
Bar Code Readers The Thor VM1 can use the following external bar code readers: Tethered hand-held scanners are tethered to a serial port on the Thor VM1 and are configured by scanning the engine- specific bar codes in the scanner manufacturer's programming guide. The manufacturer's guides are usually shipped with the bar code reader.
