Does anyone tried communicating with Omron FQ2 via TCP sending trigger commands and reading the actual data from OCR / Code read? Can you share the nodes. Thanks!

If you set the device to TCP or UDP "No Protocol mode" you can send commands as listed in the [manual](https://assets.omron.eu/downloads/manual/en/z338_fq2-s_ch_smart_camera_for_communication_settings_users_manual_en.pdf)

### ITEMDATA Example

#### Manual Pg 292

#### Pseudo Flow...

INJECT → Function (`msg.payload = 'ITEMDATA 01 0001\r'`) → TCP-Request → Buffer-parser (transform data into something useful)
