Using the C190DSK Cradle

The C190DSK Cradle functions as a charge station and a Bluetooth bridge. When connected to a PC in

default mode (HID), it allows data collected and transmitted by Cubetape to be inserted into the active

application where the cursor is located. Default mode uses a generic Windows driver so there is no

need to install a special driver.

When connected to a PC in application mode (SPP), data collected and transmitted by Cubetape is sent

to a virtual COM port on the PC. Windows needs a driver installed for this function. The driver is available

for download at www.cubetape.com/downloads in the drivers and utilities folder, and once installed the

entry in Windows Device Manager is as follows (note the assigned COM port number is variable).

Once the driver is installed, data can be received at the PC COM port by connecting an application

using the following setup options:

C190POS can be setup to send dimensions one at a time or in sets of three. These options are called

1DIM and 3DIM. 3DIM must be used with some shipping applications, and can be used anytime

as a user preference.

3DIM also allows configuration of the separator (‘X’ in the following 3DIM example string): 48X40X36.
