CHAPTER 4 DATAWEDGE
Introduction
This chapter applies to DataWedge on Android devices. DataWedge is an application that reads data, processes
the data and sends the data to an application.
Basic Scanning
To capture bar code data:
1.Ensure that an application is open on the TC75 and a text field is in focu s (tex t cur so r in tex t field ).
2.Aim the exit window at a bar code.
3.Press and hold the a Scan button. The red laser aiming patte rn turns on to assist in aiming. Ensur e 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.
Figure 4-1 TC75 Data Capture
4.The Data Capture LED lights green, a beep sounds and theTC75 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code
was decoded successfully. The captured data appears in the text field.
4 - 2TC75 Integrator Guide
Profiles
DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave
with different applications.
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. Fo r ex amp le, ea ch user ap plication
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.
•StageNow - provides support for the StageNow application.
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 ot her 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 Inpu t Plug-in is responsible for reading data from
• MSR Input Plug-in – The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from
DataWedge4 - 3
the integrated bar code scanner and supports diff erent types of bar code reade rs including laser, imager and
internal 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.
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, befo r e
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
Plug-in to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes.
• Intent Output Plug-in – The Intent Ou tput 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 d ata received from the Inp ut 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.
