5.3Code ID

Up to two characters of Code ID can be configured for each symbology. To minimize the Code ID configuration efforts, the scanner provides five predefined Code ID Sets that user can select from. User can first select one of the Code ID Sets and then make desired modifications. The pre-defined Code ID Sets are shown below.

5.4Length Code

Two digits Length Code representing the length of data (character count) can be inserted in front of data being transmitted. This Length Code parameter can be individually enabled or disabled for each barcode symbology.

6.Data Editing

The Pulsar C provides advanced data editing functions for data formatting. Data editing is performed according to user configured editing formats. Up to three editing formats can be configured.

Data is divided into fields by user specified rules. These fields together with user configurable additional fields constitute the data actually sent to the host computer. The detailed descriptions and the configuration procedures of the editing format are described in this section.

6.1Select Editing Format

To start configuring an editing format, the editing format to be configured must first be selected. Once it is selected, the parameters pertaining to editing format (applicable condition, total number of field, field dividing rules, additional fields, and field transmission sequence parameters) can be configured. After all the desired parameters are configured, the “End of Format Programming” label must be read to complete the configuration of that editing format.

Note: Before completing the configuration of the editing format, if parameters other than those pertaining to editing format are read, the editing format under configuration will be aborted. User must restart the configuration again by selecting editing format to be configured.

6.2Restore Default Format

After the editing format to be configured is selected, user can read the “Restore Default Format” label to put the editing format back to default setting. The default settings of the editing format are listed below.

Applicable Code Type: All

Applicable Length: Both max and min length are zero.

Matching string: Empty

Matching String Location: 0

Total number of field: 1

Field Setting: Not Configured

Additional Fields: Empty

Field Transmission Sequence: F1

6.3Applicable Conditions

Three applicable conditions can be configured to qualify whether the data read by the scanner can be processed by the particular editing format. Data editing will not be performed unless all three applicable conditions are met. The configurable applicable conditions are described below.
