About this manual 
This DSE Software Programming Guide is intended for programmers who have the need to
programmatically configure the DSE scanner family. The manual provides an overview on
the programming Syntax and the codes needed to configure all aspects of the reader
operation. Alternatively, the DSE scanner may be configured prior to operation utilizing
the Datalogic Aladdin programming software which is available for download from the
www.diamondt.com website.
The DSE scanner family includes both RS232 and USB image based barcode readers. Some
programming codes are specific to the DSE model you may have; as an example RS232
commands are specific to RS232 model readers and USB commands are specific to USB
model readers. The DSE family includes high performance image based readers which
provide excellent reading on 1D, 2D barcodes including damaged and poorly printed codes.
The readers have various configuration parameters and settings which can be modified
before and during operation.  
 
Interface Selection 
Since your scanner should have shipped with the correct interface (RS-232 or USB), the
interface type should already be defined. If you need to change the interface type, go to
Table 1 below and scan the appropriate bar code in that section.
Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

DSE0450 Models
1. RS232-STD Standard interface
2. RS232-WN Wincor-Nixdorf
3. RS232-OPOS OPOS/UPOS/Java POS
 

DSE0420 Models
1. USB-COM Simulate RS232
2. USB-OEM OPOS/UPOS/Java POS
3. USB-Composite USB KBD
4. USB-Keyboard ALT Alternate USB Keyboard
5. USB-KBD USB Keyboard standard key encoding
6. USB-KBD-APPLE Apple Keyboard

If your installation requires you to programmatically customize your reader, see Software
Configuration Strings listed below.

Unlike  some  programming  features  and  options,  interface  selections 

require that you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT 
scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scanning an interface selection bar 
code.

Software TRIGGER Commands 
 

The “PRESS” and “RELEASE” events can be issued also by way of either RS232 or
USB communication port (COM emulation only) and the corresponding
commands are listed here below:

Command ASCII Code Meaning

X 88 (58h) PRESS
T 84 (54h) RELEASE
 
 
Unlike  some  programming  features  and  options,  software  trigger 
command  only  requires  that  you  send  the  appropriate  character  to 
Press (trigger scanner on) and Release (trigger scanner off).

Software Configuration Strings 
 
 

DSE0450 RS-232 models and DSE0420 USB models can be configured programmatically using the
serial strings contained in this guide.

To configure RS-232 models by using the configuration strings:

1. Connect your reader to a PC RS-232 port. Set the PC serial port to the default RS-232
communication parameters (see Appendix A Standard Defaults).
To configure the reader using configuration strings you must  enter 
Service Mode, which automatically sets the reader communication 
to 115200 baud rate. You must therefore set the host accordingly for 
RS‐232  communications.  Upon  exiting  Service  Mode,  the 
programmed baud rate will be restored.

2. Using Datalogic Aladdin (available on the Datalogic website www.Datalogic.com) or a

Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface (Custom) Default string to
the reader using the syntax described on the next page.

3. Send all the necessary command strings according to your application's requirements.

To configure USB models (only for USB-COM Interface) by using the configuration strings:
USB models by default have the USB‐COM Interface selected. They 
can be easily configured by reading the barcodes in Table 1 of this 
manual.  

1. Download and install the USB-COM driver from www.adc.datalogic.com .

2. Connect your reader to a PC USB port.

3. Change the interface to USB-COM by reading the barcode below.

USB‐COM 

 
 
 
 

4. Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface (Custom) Default
string to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.
5. Send all the necessary command strings according to your application's requirements.

Command Syntax 
The following pages and examples provide an overview on the Command Syntax between the DSE reader and
your Host PC.

1. Enter Service (Serial String Programming) Mode

$S<CR> 
 
This  command  automatically  sets  the  reader  communication  to 
115200 baud rate. Before continuing, please set the baud rate of the 
Terminal Emulation Program to 115200.

 
2. Send Command

Where:

Command: Description

HAXX Interface Selection

AA Enable All Symbologies

AD Disable All Symbologies

          R Reset Reader

CXXXXXX Write Single Configuration Item to RAM

Parameter:

XXXX A 4‐character ASCII string 
See Serial Configuration Strings Table

Value:

XX A 2‐character Hex string 
See Serial Configuration Strings Table

3. Apply and Save Configuration to FLASH (permanent memory) and Exit Service Mode

$Ar<CR> 
 
 
 
This command automatically returns to the programmed baud rate. 
Before  continuing,  please  set  the  baud  rate  of  the  Terminal 
Emulation Program to the programmed baud rate.

 
 
 
 DSE Software Programming Guide Version 1.1         Page | 7 
  
 
Example 1: 

1. $S<CR> 
Enter Service Mode.

2. $CLFCA02<CR> 
Write command "Convert to Lower Case" to current configuration.

3. $Ar<CR> 
Apply and Save Configuration to FLASH (permanent memory) and Exit Service Mode.
Each configuration parameter setting removes the condition previously active for that parameter.

 
Example 2: 
1. $S<CR> 
Enter Service Mode.

2. $HA05<CR> 
Select RS232 Interface.

3. $Ar<CR> 
Apply and Save Configuration to FLASH (permanent memory) and Exit Service Mode.

 
Example 3: 

1. $+$!<CR> 
Read Application Software Release.

 
Example 4: 
Some parameters (ex. Strings) need to insert all the characters (typically 20 Chrs). For example, to
append an Character “STX” (0x02) Prefix to all transmitted data:

1. $S<CR> 
Enter Service Mode

2. $CLFPR0200000000000000000000000000000000000000<CR> 
Select the string:"STX" (02 = STX) as data Prefix. You must insert all the 20 Chrs (00 = one empty Chr)

3. $Ar<CR>
Apply and Save Configuration to FLASH (permanent memory) and Exit Service
Mode.

To configure the reader using configuration strings, it must be placed into 
Service  Mode,  which  automatically  sets  the  reader  communication  to 
115200 baud rate. You must therefore set the host accordingly for RS‐232 
  communications. Upon exiting Service Mode, the programmed baud rate 
will be restored.
