Data structure for an optical reader
First Claim
1. An optically-readable media having stored thereon a data structure, the data structure comprising:
- a first field containing optical reader identification data;
a second field containing an operational code, the operational code including a command specifying an operation to be performed by an optical reader; and
a third field containing memory address data; and
at least one fourth field containing data to be used in conjunction with the command and memory address data information.

Abstract
The invention relates to an optical reading system comprising an optical reader and a host processor. In one aspect of the invention, the host processor may be configured to transmit a component control instruction in response to a user input command input by a user of the host processor to remotely control the reader. The optical reader subsequently receives the transmitted component control instruction and executes the component control instruction substantially on receipt thereof. In one embodiment, execution of the component control instruction by the optical reader has the same effect as the reader trigger being manually pulled by a reader operator.

16. A computer-readable media having stored thereon a data structure tangibly embodying menuing instructions executable by a computer to perform a predetermined task in an optical reader apparatus, the data structure comprising:
-
a first field containing data indicating whether the menu instructions are compatible with the optical reader apparatus;
a second field containing at least one command specifying an operation to be performed by the optical reader apparatus; and
a third field containing addressing information for storing a portion of the menuing instructions to a location in a memory; and
at least one fourth field containing data used by the at least one command in performing the predetermined task. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. An machine-readable media having stored thereon a data structure, the data structure tangibly embodying menuing instructions executable by a computer to perform a method in an optical reader apparatus, the method comprising:
-
retrieving the data structure from the machine-readable media with the optical reader;
determining, with the computer, that the data structure includes the menuing instructions and not other data; and
executing the menuing instructions in response to determining that the data structure includes the menuing instructions. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
