To power up the device press key 4 / power key (8) for a short time. The power indicator LED green (1) lights
solid green. The startup sequence takes approximately 7 seconds. The device plays a beep sequence as soon
as the operating system has booted and started the installed application. The device is now ready to operate.
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
The ECCO+ comes with preinstalled universal software which can easily be configured to meet the
application requirements. The device function can be determined by using the UniversalConfigurator
software which is included with every device.
To install the UniversalConfigurator software, power up the device and connect to the USB interface of the
PC by using the included USB cable. The PC opens the device as a memory stick where the
UniversalConfigurator is located. Run the SetupSUC.exe and follow the instructions of the installation
wizard.

SComP Communication protocol
SComP protocol is a bidirectional communication protocol used in online modes like Bluetooth (SPP), WiFi
and USB (serial).
SComP - Scanndy Communications Protocol
SComP is intended to allow data transfer to and from, as well as remote control of, Panmobil
(smart)Scanndy devices by exchanging messages between two endpoints. SComP uses message ids to allow
for matching request/response pairs and assures data integrity through use of CRC-32 checksums. Its main
use is to provide reliable bidirectional communication over unreliable serial communication lines. The
SComP metadata is human readable and is composed of only ASCII characters, to simplify debugging and
transport over binary intransparent communication lines. In the design, simplicity was given higher
precedence than efficiency.
