ProScan: Official Software Thread

You may not need the UID Lookup function on the SDSx00 (along with the BCDx36HP) scanners. These types of scanners has a Unit IDs group under each system. Using Sentinel or ProScan, enter in the Unit ID along with the text tag. It will take up to 64 characters

Appreciate that but isn't it faster/easier to grab and log immediately with ProScan? Crappy weather today and have a lot of free time. One other thing, once entered into ProScan, do I FTP Read from scanner to upload into Sentinel if possible?

It uses the Notepad example which you can delete the info from if you wish.
Add a few tests and then look at the example file again and you should see your entries.

It is showing up, thanks

I think if using the scanner Unit IDs groups then it will show on the scanner display and ProScan logging. If using the ProScan UID Lookup function then it will only show in ProScan logging.
If editing in ProScan then you want to do a FTP Write so the scanner will have the most current favorites lists.

How is the audio getting to the host computer? Is it through the ProScan loopback, Win Mixer loopback, or using a media player connected to the Web Server feature? Focus on the host computer first before the far end.

The audio of the second instance is coming from the analog (headphone jack) out of the BC346XTC and in to the host computer via a line in jack, and between is a ground loop isolator. For my local (troubleshooting) listening on the host computer, I would use ProScan’s audio loop back under the “Test and Monitor” tab. But I can say that since restarting that second ProScan instance on Friday night, I haven’t yet had a repeat of the original issue. So I guess it’s just an occasional maintenance issue, and probably related to something on the Win10/audio drivers on the host.

ProScan is awesome.

Thanks,
ScottPDX

I haven’t read up on either the 536 or SDS 200 to set up by URL. I did set up the 536 as access point. Is this correct or should it be infrastructure ?. Any other tips to help make these as painless as possible. Ps should the internal speaker shut off on the 536 when an external speaker is plugged in?

Look at the 2 PDF documents on the bottom of the right side of the Proscan website:

Thank you Bob. I don't think I'm affected by any of those bugs, but I'll definitely be upgrading tomorrow. Best $50 I've ever spent!

Take the grid in the history log for example. Clicking the "Copy History Grid to History Grid Log.txt File' button will dump the entire contents of the grid to a file named History Grid Log.txt. located in the proscan folder. Try it!. If you want to change from tab delimited to comma, or custom delimited then that option is in the Options -> Logging tab. Trailing padded spaces are on by default. That makes the columns line up nicely when viewing with a text editor. if you don't want trailing padded spaces then it can be turned off in the Options -> Logging tab. The Options -> Logging tab also contains options to perform the same function as the button click each hour.

Not sure if possible but do you foresee ProScan UID logger being able to edit after lookup and write to scanner or Sentinel? Asking before spending countless hours entering in Sentinel.

Bob can I lay this one down over 16.0?

Yes, Enter text in the UID After Lookup column. After that, select the rows to import then click the Copy/Move Selected Rows ... button. When the Copy/Move dialog comes up, choose Database and the options. One option to uncheck is the TGID Name Prepend %,. Another to check is the TGID Name "Use UID After Lookup" After the options are set, click the OK button then the UID's will appear in the ProScan Favorites Editor. If things don't appear as you want then try again experimenting with different options.

I had this issue and I didn't have my serial cable connected. I test this on my 200 with 16.5 and don't see an issue. For me, the serial cable had pulled out just enough that it wasn't making full contact.
