Output Data EditingChapter 4s removed from this barcode setup manual. It isanager Software providing a user-friendlyad the latest program from Unitech’s web site atttp://www.ute.comThe Output Data Editing feature waimplemented to the Scanner Configuration Minterface for easier operation. Please downloh . This chapter will mainly describe the concept and feature provided by thisdata output feature. The function described here also can be replaced by the “Pre-definedLabels” function. So if data-editing function is defined, “Pre-defined Labels” will be removed.They cannot be defined at the same time.GeneralThe purpose of Data Edit is allowing you to define and modify a data record that comes fromecoding of a bar code. By using combination of formulas, you can perform the followingnctions on the data received by the scanner:A. Rearrange the output sequences.B. Delete characters from the record.C. Insert characters to the record, including function codes.D. Duplicate characters in the record.E. Insert time delay in the recordFormulaFormula is a structure that tells the scanner what and how to process the original data recordto produce the desired output. The wedge allows multiple Formulas, but the number of theFormulas can be defined depends on the memory size allocated for Data Editing.¾ Original Data StructureThe original data is the decoded data plus preamble and postamble. The original data structureis as follow:Preamble Decoded Data Postambledfu¾ Formula StructureA Formula consists of two parts: Qualifier and Modifier. Qualifier is used to verify if the datarecord meets the conditions specified and Modifier is processed only if all conditions inQualifier are met.¾ Execution SequenceIf several Formulas were defined, data editing will perform sequentially from the first Formula tothe last Formula. If a Formula is qualified and executed, the further formulas will be ignored. Ifnone of the Formulas is executed, the data record will be discarded and there will be no outputto the host.25
