INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Datalogic has moved a step ahead in the concept of “instinctive reading". The new
Gryphon™ BT reader series has been developed to provide optimised reading
performance through excellent ergonomic design, a natural instinctive reading
approach and innovative good reading feedback.
®
The Gryphon™ BT (Gryphon™ Bluetooth ) reader is a CCD wireless barcode
scanner communicating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and using the Serial Port Profile
®
®
(SPP). Thanks to a Bluetooth device, such as a Bluetooth dongle, the reader can
send data to a remote Host such as a PC, PDA, printer, etc.
The “INSTINCTIVE READING DISTANCE,” a concept introduced by Datalogic a few
years ago based on in-depth ergonomic studies, represents the natural position of
the user while reading a code. The Gryphon™ BT series takes this concept one step
further. The series includes two cordless (BT100 and BT200) models, allowing
wireless operations at the desk/POS within a 10 meter range. The new “blue spot,”
(Datalogic patent application) produced by the Gryphon™ BT provides “good
reading” feedback directly on the code, where the user usually tends to be looking.
Correct pointing becomes quick and easy thanks to the sharp and bright illumination
line. All these characteristics are coupled with outstanding performance in terms of
reading quickness and decoding capability thanks to state-of-the-art optics and a
decode rate of 270 scans/sec, making the Gryphon™ BT very user friendly, intuitive
and fast.
Specially optimised optics allow reading of the most popular standard codes with
superior depths of field from near contact to over 30 cm. High resolution codes,
which can reach 3 mils are also easily read. The Gryphon™ BT200 has been
designed to provide decoding of the PDF417, as well as traditional barcodes. The
Gryphon™ BT reader series is paving the road for innovative barcode reading.
The C-Gryphon battery charger is provided in the package to charge the Gryphon™
BT batteries and to provide a means for serial configuration of the Gryphon™ BT
reader.

GRYPHON™ BT POWER
To begin using your Gryphon™ BT reader you must charge the Gryphon™ BT
battery using C-Gryphon charger as described in par. 2.3 and in the Quick
Reference manual. A full charge takes 4 hours with NiMh batteries.
2.1
POWERING THE C-GRYPHON
Connections should always be made with power off!
CAUTION
Apply power to C-GRYPHON by connecting a power supply unit to the connector on
the base of the battery charger.

When the reader is correctly placed onto the cradle, the red LED on the cradle goes on
to indicate that the battery is charging. The green LED on the cradle goes on when the
battery is completely charged.
When using NiCd or NiMh batteries, frequent recharging before fully discharging can
cause a “memory effect” in which the batteries assume a reduced capacity.

Since it is not practical to wait for the reader to be fully discharged before recharging it,
the C-GRYPHON BT are provided with a battery-reconditioning feature which
overcomes the “memory effect” problem.
To perform battery reconditioning, simply press the battery-reconditioning key on the
cradle control panel: the battery will be fully discharged in a short period of time (red
LED flashing), then automatically recharged.
We recommend performing the battery reconditioning once every few months or
whenever you feel the battery capacity has decreased.
The LEDs positioned on the cradle signal the charge status, as described in the
following table:

BLUETOOTH RADIO CONNECTION
3.2
During typical operation a physical radio channel is shared by a group of devices
that are synchronized to a common clock and frequency hopping pattern. One
device provides the synchronization reference and is known as the Master. All other
devices are known as Slaves. A group of devices synchronized in this fashion form a
piconet.
®
Most Bluetooth devices can be both Master or Slave. The Master will be the first
unit to initiate the connection (page procedure).
Some devices can only be Slaves (i.e. printers). They can only wait for a Bluetooth
Master device to initiate a connection with them.
®
Gryphon™ BT can be either Master or Slave. As Master it can initiate a connection
with only one Slave device.
The blue LED and / or the beeper always indicate the reader radio connection status
(see also the Reader Status table, at page 106):
•
the radio connection is signaled by the blue LED through a single blink at
regular intervals, while if the reader radio is disconnected the LED emits two
short blinks at regular intervals;
•
during the initialization procedure, if the radio connection attempt is successful,
the reader emits four ascending tones;
•
the radio disconnection is signaled by four descending tones.
3.2.1
Gryphon™ BT as Slave
Once set as Slave, a Gryphon™ BT reader requires no particular configuration for
communication, however some radio parameters can be set to increase system
performance and data transmission security. At startup the reader can only wait for
the Master to initialize the radio communication.
The following is a general procedure recommended for Gryphon™ BT Slave
applications:
®
1.
Power up the remote Bluetooth Master device (example Laptop or PC).
2.
Power up the Gryphon™ BT reader within radio range (10 meters).
Any modifications to the radio configuration should be made at this time before
the radio connection takes place.
7
GRYPHON™ BT

®
3.
From the remote Bluetooth Master device, execute the Discovery procedure,
®
(according to the procedure given in the documentation of the Bluetooth Master
device), to recognize the Gryphon™ BT reader(s) within radio range.
4.
Check that "Gryphon BTx00
5.
Request to open an SPP connection with Gryphon™ BT, making sure to disable
any required PIN and/or pairing parameters. Gryphon™ BT is always
discoverable and connectable without any required PIN.
" is shown among the discovered devices.
®
NOTE
If the PIN of the Bluetooth Master device cannot be disabled, use the
PIN "1234". The Gryphon™ BT Slave will emit four ascending tones
indicating radio connection.
After the Gryphon™ BT reader(s) indicate radio connection (see also the Reader
Status Table, at page 106), you can start sending barcodes.
The following figure shows an example Gryphon™ BT Slave application.

Gryphon™ BT as Master
Once set as Master, a Gryphon™ BT reader must be configured with the address of
the Slave device to which it wants to communicate.
By default, at startup the reader initializes the communication with the Slave. If the
connection is successful, the reader can send barcodes to the Slave device. Radio
connections can also be managed manually as described in pars. 5.5.7, 5.5.8 and
5.7.
During the request of radio connection or disconnection with a remote Bluetooth
Slave device, the reader emits a series of ticks and short blinks of the blue LED.

Sleep State
The µP in the reader enters a “Sleep” state after 5 minutes of no reading for
minimum power consumption.

3.2.4
Data Transmission
The transmission of data can be transparent (no ACK/NACK protocol), when each
character is read and immediately sent to the Host (default value). Otherwise, data
transmission can be with flow control (with ACK/NACK protocol), when, after each
reading, Gryphon™ BT waits for an acknowledge that the remote Host received the
data before reading and sending the following code.
®
NOTE
3.2.5
RTS/CTS handshaking should be set by the Bluetooth COM driver
for correct serial communication. If not used, the RTS line must be
forced to the level that doesn't block such communication, otherwise,
after 1 minute Gryphon™ BT interrupts the radio link (disconnects).
Wedge Emulation Utility
This utility is provided on the CD-ROM. When using the Wedge Emulation Utility, it is
advised to correctly set the terminators depending on the expected format for the
program in which the data will be collected.

DATA FORMAT
The output message from Gryphon™ BT towards the Host uses the following format:
[Bluetooth
 Reader Addr] [Reader Addr Delimiter] [Header]
[Code ID] [Code Length] CODE [Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
5.1.1
Address Stamping
It is possible to include the reader's Bluetooth address in the message sent to the
host. This address is a 12-character hexadecimal string that is unique to every
Bluetooth device. For message output format, refer to par. 5.1.
5.1.2
Address Delimiter
The Address Delimiter allows a character to be included to separate the reader's
Bluetooth address stamping field from the next field in the message. Any character
can be included in the hexadecimal range from 00 to FE. For message output
format, refer to par. 5.1.

5.2
READING PARAMETERS
5.2.1
Operating Mode
This group of parameters allows setting different reading modes for either Hand-Held
operation or Stand operation:
•
SoftwareTrigger: the reader is set in FLASH MODE. Code reading takes place
during the flash on time;
•
Hardware Trigger: the code reading is started with a trigger press (ON);
•
Hardware Trigger Ready: the illuminator is switched ON when the reader sees a
code. It functions as a pointer aiming at the code to be read. The reading phase
starts only when the trigger is pressed. In this mode the reader is automatically
set to trigger active level and one read per cycle parameters. (Only for Handheld operation).
•
Automatic: The illuminator is switched ON when the reader sees a code. The
reading phase starts automatically.
5.2.2
Hardware Trigger Mode
This mode determines how the reading phase is controlled when the hardware
trigger operating mode is selected:
•
trigger active level: the reader goes ON when the trigger is pressed and goes
OFF when it is released
•
trigger active pulse: the reader goes ON at the first trigger press and goes OFF
only at a second press
5.2.3
Trigger-Off Timeout
When this timeout is selected, the reader turns OFF automatically after the desired
period of time.
92
REFERENCES
5.2.4
5
Reads per Cycle
In general, a reading cycle corresponds to the ON + OFF times of a device.
The resulting effects of this parameter on code reading depend on other related
configuration conditions. Here are the definitions of ON and OFF times.
•
For readers using the software trigger parameter (FLASH MODE), a reading
cycle corresponds to the flash on + flash off times. Code reading takes place
during the flash on time.
•
For readers using the hardware trigger parameter, a reading cycle corresponds
to a trigger press (ON) + one of the following OFF events:
trigger release (for trigger active level)
a second trigger press (for trigger active pulse)
trigger-off timeout (see par. 5.2.3).
When one read per cycle is selected, the device decodes only one code during the
ON period and immediately turns the reader OFF. It is only possible to read another
code when the next ON time occurs.
In multiple reads per cycle, the ON period is extended so that the device can
continue decoding codes until an OFF event occurs. For software trigger mode, the
flash on period is immediately reset after each read and therefore extended. If
another code is decoded before the reset flash on period expires, it is again reset
and the effect is that the device remains ON, decoding codes until the flash on or
timeout period expires.
The Safety Time parameter should be used in this case to avoid unwanted multiple
reading of the same code, see par. 5.2.5.
5.2.5
Safety Time
Safety time prevents the device from immediately decoding the same code more
than once. Same code consecutive reading can be disabled requiring the reader to
be removed from the code (no decoding) for at least 400 ms, or a timeout can be set
up to 9.9 seconds before the decoder will accept the same code. Reading is
immediate if the code changes.
The safety time parameter is not applicable when reading stacked codes or when
setting one read per cycle in hardware trigger operating mode, since these settings
require voluntary action by the user.
93
GRYPHON™ BT

5.3
DECODING PARAMETERS
CAUTION
5.3.1
These parameters are intended to enhance the decoding capability
of the reader for particular applications. Used incorrectly, they can
degrade the reading performance or increase the possibility of a
decoding error.
Ink-Spread
The ink-spread parameter allows the decoding of codes which are not perfectly
printed because the page texture tends to absorb the ink.
5.3.2
Overflow Control
The overflow control parameter can be disabled when decoding codes printed on
small surfaces, which do not allow the use of an overflow space.
This command does not effect code families 2/5, Code 128 and Code 93.
This command is forced (enabled) when PDF417 codes are enabled.
5.3.3
Interdigit Control
The interdigit control parameter verifies the interdigit spacing for code families Code
39 and Codabar.
5.4
5.4.1
ADVANCED FORMATTING
Zebra Printer Formatting
®
Some Zebra Bluetooth Printers (example: Cameo 3 BT or similar type) allow format
files (pre-loaded in its memory) to be selected for printing labels with different
formatting. These files can be preloaded onto the Zebra printer using the "Label
Vista™" program.
Gryphon™ BT as Master provides the possibility to define a number of formatting
parameters and their relative values (type), which can be passed to the printer
format files globally, (one setting is valid for all 16 possible pre-defined printer format
files). You can set between 0 and 4 parameters, which can be of two types, barcode
data or code ID.
Setting 0 parameters means printing a label with no barcode or code ID information.
94
REFERENCES
5
Setting between 1 and 4 parameters allows printing barcode labels with barcode
and/or code ID information. The number of barcode/code ID values selected must
match the number of printer parameters selected.
The Gryphon™ BT default setting is:
“! UF DLFMT00.FMT[CR][LF]barcoderead[CR][LF]barcoderead[CR][LF]”
where Gryphon™ BT sends two parameters (both barcode data) to file 00. The
assumption is that one barcode is used to print the actual barcode and the other is
used to print the human readable numbers of the barcode all on the same label.
Not all barcode symbologies read by Gryphon™ BT are managed by the printer, see
your printer documentation for a list of printable barcode symbologies.
Note: "barcoderead" can also be a barcode formatted with headers and terminators.
5.4.2
Zebra Printer Format File Selection
Select the number of the Zebra printer format file which is pre-loaded in the printer
memory and contains the graphic and parameter value information for printing a
label. These files must be programmed correctly to accept the data passed to them
from the Gryphon™ BT reader.
5.5
5.5.1
RADIO PARAMETERS
Radio Protocol Timeout
This parameter sets the valid time to wait before transmission between the
®
Gryphon™ BT reader and the remote Bluetooth device is considered failed.
This parameter should be set taking into consideration the radio traffic (number of
readers in the same area). It can be set between 3 and 19 seconds.
5.5.2
Transmission Retry
This parameter allows setting a period of time in which transmission of the previously
read barcode will automatically be retried. If not disabled (00), this value must be at
least equal to double the Radio Protocol Timeout value (see par. 5.5.1).
Each time transmission is retried, the reader emits a beep tone lower than the "Good
Decode" beep tone.
Transmission retry is valid only if ACK/NACK Protocol is enabled (see par. 5.5.3).

5.5.3
ACK/NACK Protocol and Frame Packing
ACK/NACK Protocol
The transmission protocol takes place between the reader and the Host. The reader
®
passes its data (code read) to the remote Bluetooth device (Host).
In the following descriptions the completed transmission is indicated by the Beeper
Control for Radio Response parameter with its default setting to "Good Decode and
Good Reception" beep, see par. 5.5.6.
When ACK/NACK is disabled, there is no control from reader to Host transmission,
therefore the reader responds with the good reception tone.

ACK/NACK enabled
When ACK/NACK is enabled, the Host sends an ACK character (06 HEX) in the
case of good reception or the NACK character (15 HEX) requesting re-transmission,
in the case of bad reception. Only after the ACK character is received by Gryphon™
BT does the reader respond with the good reception tone.
If the reader does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the
Radio Protocol Timeout, par. 5.5.1, or retried if transmission retry is enabled, par.
5.5.2.

Frame Packing
When Frame Packing is disabled, the Output Message from the Gryphon™ BT
reader is sent to the Host as is, see par. 5.1.
If instead, Frame Packing is enabled, the Output Message is "packed" into a Frame
with the following format:
STX
Length
Control
Counter Output Message
CRC-16
CR
where:
STX = Frame Start character (02 Hex).
Length = 2 bytes; indicates frame length of the remaining fields (including CR).
Control = 1 byte; indicates message fragmentation. For further details see the DL
Security Protocol documentation on the CD-ROM.
Counter = a loop counter for the Output Message characters (bytes) that cycles
from 0 to 255 and then restarts.
Output Message = complete text message from the Gryphon™ BT reader including
optional fields as shown in par. 5.1. The maximum length of this field is 304 bytes.
CRC-16) = 2 bytes; 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check based on the hex 1021
polynomial and performed on all bytes from Length up to the CRC itself. The MSB is
sent first. For further details see the DL Security Protocol documentation on the CDROM.
CR = Frame Stop character (0D Hex).
To simplify the management of this frame packing, and to avoid having to develop a
special proprietary software program, included on the CD-ROM are: the DL Security
Protocol example program, (written in Visual Basic), the Windlbt.dll, and the source
code of the example. The example program allows extraction of the data from the
frame, verification of the CRC, discarding any duplicate data (with the same counter
value), and automatic management of Frame Packing and ACK/NACK protocol in
response to each frame.
5.5.4
Power-Off Timeout
If this command is enabled, after the desired timeout in hours, the GRYPHON™ BT
batteries are disconnected and all power consumption ceases. To restore power,
press the trigger once. The reader will now be ready to read codes.
Power-off does not effect configuration parameters.
97

5.5.5
User Friendly Name
This parameter provides a way to identify the Gryphon™ BT reader in a human
readable (user-friendly), format. This name is returned with the reader configuration
parameters (see par. 5.6). The name is made up of a fixed 20-character field. If you
choose to use a name that is less than 20 characters, you must fill in the blanks with
a valid character (i.e. space character). Valid characters are in the range 00 - 7E and
must be entered in hex format.
5.5.6
Beeper Control for Radio Response
The data entry good read tone normally results in two beeps; the first indicates that
the reader has decoded the code, the second indicates whether the remote
®
Bluetooth device has received the data.
This can be changed according to the following selections:
♦
♦
♦
♦
Good Decode and Good Reception: both good decode and good reception are
signaled (two beeps).
Only Good Decode: only the first beep indicating a good read is signaled.
Only Good Reception: only the second beep indicating a good reception is
signaled.
Off: Neither good read nor good reception beeps are signaled.
For all configurations, any transmission errors will always be signaled.
5.5.7
Auto-Connection (Master only)
Upon power-up, the Gryphon ™ BT reader makes attempts to connect with the
®
remote Bluethooth device (Slave). If the connection is not successful, the reader
remains on, but not connected.
In this case reconnection can be requested by double clicking the reader trigger or
by reading the "Request Radio Connection" command in par. 5.7.
5.5.8
Auto-Reconnection (Master only)
If a radio connection is interrupted, the Gryphon ™ BT reader makes attempts to
®
reconnect with the remote Bluethooth device (Slave). If the connection is not
successful, the reader remains on, but not connected.
In this case reconnection can be requested by double clicking the reader trigger or
by reading the "Request Radio Connection" command in par. 5.7.

HOST CONFIGURATION STRINGS
In this section we provide a description of how to send serial strings from the Host to
the reader using the C-GRYPHON.
This method requires C-GRYPHON to be connected to the Host
via RS232 interface.
Use this method either to modify the device configuration, or to upgrade the reader
application software.
To proceed with these operations, connect an RS232 cable between C-GRYPHON
and the PC. Connect the power supply to C-GRYPHON. Place the Gryphon™ BT
reader onto the charger.
When this method is used, the programming sequence format is the following:
$+
Command
$-
CR
Carriage return character (0D Hex.)
Exit and Save configuration
Character sequence in following tables
Enter configuration environment
Example:
Multiple command programming sequence:
$+
BG1 BH0
AC410132
$-
CR
Carriage return character (0D Hex.)
Exit and save new configuration
Matrix 2/5 3 bars: no check digit,
variable length code from 1 to 32 characters
Beeper tone 1
Beeper low intensity
Enter configuration environment
Each configuration parameter setting removes the condition previously active for that
parameter.
NOTE
The device buffer can contain about 400 characters. If your
programming string goes over this value, you must split it into
separate groups and send each group after a delay of at least 3
seconds to give the reader time to empty the buffer and interpret the
commands.
