Ø Pass to next: Do not save the above data, just pass it to the next menu or form. Application Generator (v4. 00) -8- 6. LOOKUP A lookup file is a database file created for information reference. Member length & Number of fields Specify the maximum record length and the number of fields for the database file to be created. Offset & Length Define the data offset (the start position) and length for each field. Field property Specify whether the data field is fixed length or delimited. If it is delimited, then you need to specify the delimiter with an ASCII code 6. 4. Key field Select the key field for creating index file of the database. If an input field refers to a key field, then the data in the other referred field will be shown once the entered data match with the key field data. Application Generator (v4. 00) -9- 7. BAR CODE This section describes user configurable parameters that are pertaining to bar code symbologies. 7. 1. Code39 · Standard / Full ASCII Code 39 : User can choose to read either Standard Code 39 or Full ASCII Code 39 by configuring this parameter. · Start/Stop Transmission : This parameter specifies whether the start/stop characters of Code 39 are included in the data being transmitted. · Checksum Verification : This parameter specifies whether the scanner will perform checksum verification when decoding barcodes. · Checksum Transmission : This parameter specifies whether the checksum character are included in the data being transmitted. Application Generator (v4. 00)-10- 7. 1. 2. Italy / French Pharmacode For Italy /French Pharmacode, there is always a checksum character included in the barcode. So the checksum verification is always performed when decoding these symbologies. User though can choose whether the checksum character is to be transmitted or not. The start / stop transmission of this code shares the same setting of Code 39. · Checksum Transmission : This parameter specifies whether the checksum character are included in the data being transmitted. Industrial / Interleave / Matrix 25 · Start / Stop Selection : This parameter provides the readability of all 2 of 5 symbology variants. For example, flight tickets actually use an Industrial 25 barcode but with Interleave 25 start / stop. [. . . ] The user must compromise between decoding security and decoding speed if the security feature is needed. Time out This parameter is used to limit the maximum scanning period when the scan mode is either Auto Off Mode or Auto Power Off Mode. Read Negative Barcode The CCD scanner can be configured to read negative barcodes. Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. [. . . ]
