SCANNER CONFIGURATION MANAGER

Data Editing

Data Editing is a powerful function that can give you tremendous control over how data is exported from the MS860.

After clicking on “Data Editing” the data editing icons become active.

Click on the icon with the blue circle and white plus sign.

The “Define Formula” pop-up box to the right appears, which is divided into two sections: “Qualifier” and “Modifier”.

Qualifier

The Qualifier section defines the conditions that must be present for the scanned data to be modified, such as which symbology it must be (Codabar, Code 39, etc.), its specfic length, or what characters (de- fined by a match string) the scanned data must contain.

When the conditions of the Qualifier are met, the data is then modified according to the rules defined in the “Modifier”, below.

Modifier

The Modifier section contains three selections: “From Original”, “Add New”, and “Delete”.

From Original extracts the desired data from the scan.

The Start Parameter defines the beginning of the string of data that is to be output. The start parameter can either be defined by position starting from the beginning (“From Position”), or a specific number of

characters from the end of the string (“From Last Position”), or a specified number of characters before or after a user-defined character string (“After Matching”).

The End Parameter defines the end of the string of data that is to be output. Three options are available: “Number Of Characters To Be Output”, “All Remaining”, and “After Matching”. The first two are self- explanatory. “After Matching” defines the end as a specified number of characters before or after a user-defined character string.
