RS-232 Remote – Utilizing Read Switches

This guide covers configuring the read switch port on the RS-232 Remote Transmitter (MC-REM-RS232) and on Base Receivers within MobileCollect Extended Setup. It explains the three read switch trigger modes: capturing a single reading from a continuous data stream, holding a handshake line low for a defined duration, or sending a serial command string to request a reading. It also covers programming Base Receiver read switch ports to send a command directly to a paired RS-232 Remote. Complete RS-232 Remote Pairing and Initial Setup before following these steps.
