DataWedge Configuration
DataWedge is an application that reads data, processes the data and sends the data to an application.
Basic Scanning
Scanning can be performed using the imager.

2 Aim the exit window at a bar code.
3 Press and hold the a Scan button. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure that the bar code
is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The Data Capture LED lights red to indicate that data capture is in process.

TC75 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
4 The green, a beep sounds and the
The captured data appears in the text field.
Profiles
DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave with different applications.
TC75 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.
Page 80
80 | DataWedge Configuration
Profile information consists of:
Associated application
•
• Input plug-in configurations
• Output plug-in configurations
• Process plug-in configurations.
Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. For example, each user application can have a profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the foreground. DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the requirements of each application.
DataWedge includes the following visible and hidden pre-configured profiles which support specific built-in applications:
• Visible profiles:
- Profile0 - created automatically the first time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when there are no user
created profiles associated with an application.
- Launcher - enables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground. Note: to save battery power, disable this
profile when not required.
- DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.
• Hidden profiles (not shown to the device):
- RD Client - provides support for MSP.
- MSP Agent - provides support for MSP.
- MspUserAttribute - provides support for MSP.
- Camera - disables scanning when the default camera application is in foreground.
- RhoElements - disables scanning when RhoElements is in foreground.
Profile0
Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation of plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration allows DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application other than applications associated with user-defined profiles when Profile0 is enabled.
Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated in user-defined profiles. For example, create a profile associating a specific application, disable Profile0 and then scan.
DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created profile. This adds additional security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.
Plug-ins
A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies such as bar code scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:
Input Plug-ins
•
• Output Plug-ins
• Process Plug-ins.
Input Plug-ins
An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a bar code scanner contained in, or attached to the device. DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.
• Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in – The Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from the integrated bar code scanner and supports different types of bar code readers including laser, imager and internal
Page 81
DataWedge Configuration | 81
camera. Raw data read from the bar code scanner can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the bar code scanner to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.
• MSR Input Plug-in – The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from an MSR. Raw data read from the MSR can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the MSR to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.
Process Plug-ins
Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, before sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.
• Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
• Advanced Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Advanced Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to apply rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
Output Plug-ins
Output Plug-ins are responsible for sending the data from Input Plug-ins to a foreground application on the device.
• Keystroke Output Plug-in – The Keystroke Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug­in to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes.
• Intent Output Plug-in – The Intent Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to foreground applications using the Android Intent mechanism.
• IP Output Plug-in – The IP Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to a host computer via a network connection. Captured data can be sent over an IP network to a specified IP address and port using either TCP or UDP transport protocols.
Profiles Screen
To launch DataWedge, touch > DataWedge. By default, three profiles appear:
• Profile0
• Launcher
• DWDemo.
Profile0 is the default profile and is used when no other profile can be applied.

• Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select higher security levels for lower quality bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decode speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for the application.
- Level 0 - This default setting allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in
decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes (default).
- Level 1 - As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before others
(i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.
- Level 2 - If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not limited to
characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
- Level 3 - If the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an
extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security can significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

- Supplemental Smart - Enables smart supplementals. In this mode the decoder returns the decoded value of
the main block right away if it does not belong to one of the following supplemental types: 378, 379, 977, 978, 979, 414, 419, 434 or 439. If the bar code starts with one of the prefixes it searches the image more aggressively for a supplemental. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code is returned.
- Supplemental 378-379 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with 378 or
379. Disables reading of supplementals for any other UPC/EAN bar code not starting with 378 or 379. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code is returned.

Intent Overview
The core components of an Android application (its activities, services, and broadcast receivers) are activated by intents. An intent is a bundle of information (an Intent object) describing a desired action - including the data to be acted upon, the category of component that should perform the action, and other pertinent instructions. Android locates an appropriate component to respond to the intent, launches a new instance of the component if one is needed, and passes it the Intent object.
Components advertise their capabilities, the kinds of intents they can respond to, through intent filters. Since the system must learn which intents a component can handle before it launches the component, intent filters are specified in the manifest as <intent-filter>elements. A component may have any number of filters, each one describing a different capability. For example, if the manifest contains the following:
<intent-filter . . . >
<action android:name=”android.intent.action.DEFAULT” />
<category android:name=”android.intent.category.MAIN” />
</intent-filter>
In the Intent output plug-in configuration, the Intent action would be:
android.intent.category.DEFAULT
and the Intent category would be:
Page 99
DataWedge Configuration | 99
android.intent.category.MAIN.
The Intent delivery option allows the method by which the intent is delivered to be specified. The delivery mechanisms are Send via startActivity, Send via startService or Broadcast intent.
The decode related data added to the Intent’s bundle can be retrieved using the Intent.getStringExtra() and Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:
•
String LABEL_TYPE_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.label_type”;
- String contains the label type of the bar code.
• String DATA_STRING_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.data_string”;
- String contains the output data as a String. In the case of concatenated bar codes, the decode data is
concatenated and sent out as a single string.
• String DECODE_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.decode_data”;
- Decode data is returned as a list of byte arrays. In most cases there will be one byte array per decode. For bar
code symbologies that support concatenation e.g. Codabar, Code128, MicroPDF, etc., the decoded data is stored in multiple byte arrays (one byte array per bar code). Clients can get data in each byte array by passing an index.
The MSR related data added to the Intent's bundle can be retrieved using the Intent.getStringExtra() and Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:
• String MSR_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_data”;
- String contains the output data as a String. The data from the MSR tracks is concatenated and sent out as a
single string.
• String MSR_TRACK1_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track1”;
- MSR track 1 data is returned as a byte array.
• String MSR_TRACK2_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track2”;
- MSR track 2 data is returned as a byte array.
• String MSR_TRACK3_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track3”;
- MSR track 3 data is returned as a byte array.
• String MSR_TRACK1_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track1_status”;
- MSR track 1 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.
• String MSR_TRACK2_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track2_status”;
- MSR track 2 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.
• String MSR_TRACK3_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track3_status”;
- MSR track 3 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.
Most scanning applications might want the user to be able to decode data and for that decode data to be sent to the *current* activity but not necessarily displayed. If this is the case, then the activity needs to be marked as ‘singleTop’ in its AndroidManifest.xml file. If your activity is not defined as singleTop, then on every decode, the system will create another copy of your Activity and send the decode data to this second copy.
Finally there will be a configuration option for each process plug-in so that the process plug-in can be configured specifically for the intent output, which in this case is the basic data formatting process plug-in.
IP Output
Note: IPWedge application is required on a host computer. Download the IPWedge application from the Support Central web site: http://www.zebra.com/support.
IP Output allows DataWedge to send captured data to a host computer via a network connection. Captured data can be sent over an IP network to a specified IP address and port using either TCP or UDP transport protocols.

• Enabled - Enables or disables this plug-in. A check in the checkbox indicates that the plug-in is enabled (default ­disabled).
• Remote Wedge - Enable or disable the Remote Wedge option (default - enabled). Remote Wedge is used with the IPWedge application.
• Protocol - Select the protocol used by the remote application. Options: TCP (default) or UDP.
• IP address - Enter the IP address used by the remote application (default - 0.0.0.0).
• Port - Enter the port number used by the remote application (default - 58627).
• Advanced data formatting - is a way of customizing data before transmission. Use advanced data formatting (ADF) to edit scan data to suit requirements.
- Enable - Enables or disables ADF. A check in the checkbox indicates that ADF is enabled (default - disabled).
- Rules - ADF uses rules to customize data. These rules perform detailed actions when the data meets certain
criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple criteria applied to single or multiple actions. See
Generating Advanced Data Formatting Rules
• Basic data formatting - Allows configuration of any data formatting for the related Output Plug-in. When the plug-in is disabled any data is passed on without modification.
- Enabled - Enables or disables Basic Data Formatting. A check in the checkbox indicates that it is enabled
(default - enabled).
- Prefix to data - Add characters to the beginning of the data when sent.
- Suffix to data - Add characters to the end of the data when sent.
- Send data - Set to transfer the captured data to the foreground application. Disabling this option prevents the
actual data from being transmitted. However, the prefix and suffix strings, if present, are still transmitted even when this option is disabled (default - enabled).
- Send as hex - Set to send the data in hexadecimal format. A check in the checkbox indicates that the plug-in is
enabled (default - disabled).
- Send TAB key - Set to append a tab character to the end of the processed data. A check in the checkbox
indicates that the plug-in is enabled (default - disabled).
- Send ENTER key - Set to append an Enter character to the end of the processed data. A check in the
checkbox indicates that the plug-in is enabled (default - disabled).
