CHAPTER 4 DATAWEDGE

CONFIGURATION

DataWedge Configuration

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

Scanning can be performed using the laser scanner or imager. To capture bar code data:

1. Ensure that an application is open on the TC8000 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

2. Aim the exit window at a bar code.

3. Press the trigger button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Charging/Scan LED

Indicators illuminate green and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.

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:

•

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

Associated application Input plug-in configurations Output plug-in configurations Process plug-in configurations.

4 - 2 TC8000 Integrator Guide

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 - disables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground.

• 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 DataW edge 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 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.

DataWedge Configuration 4 - 3

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

Plug-in 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:

•

UPCE1

• Report Check Digit - The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity of the

data. Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled (default

- disabled).

• Preamble - Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol consisting of Country Code and System Character. Select the appropriate option to match the host system.

There are three options for transmitting a UPCE1 preamble:

• Preamble Sys Char - Transmit System Character only.

• Preamble Country and Sys Char - Transmit System Character and Country Code (“0” for USA).

• Preamble None - Transmit no preamble (default).

• Convert UPCE1 To UPCA - Enable this to convert UPCE1 decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, the data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections. Disable this to transmit UPCE1 decoded data as UPCE1 data, without conversion (default disabled).

Decode Lengths

•

The allowable decode lengths are specified by options Length1 and Length2 as follows:

•

Variable length: Decode symbols containing any number of characters.

• Set both Length1 and Length2 to 0.

•

Range: Decode a symbol with a specific length range (from a to b, including a and b).

• Set Length1 to a and set Length2 to b.

•

Two Discrete Lengths: Decode only symbols containing either of two selected lengths.

• Set both Length1 or Length2 to the specific lengths. Length1 must be greater than Length2.

•

One Discrete Length: Decode only symbols containing a specific length.

• Set both Length1 and Length2 to the specific length.

UPC EAN Params

Allows the configuration of the parameters that apply to more than one UPC or EAN decoder.

•

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.

•

Supplemental2 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is

enabled.
