Data Editing – tab
Note!
In the lite version of WLinq there are no data editing formats. The Formats button and the
corresponding Test button does not appear on this dialog tab.
On this tab you specify settings for string replacement and data editing.
Data String Termination
Here you specify if you want a certain character or characters to terminate the data input string
(Character(s)) or if the data input string should be regarded as terminated after a certain period of
time (Timeout).
Character(s) (default)
Specifies the character that WLinq uses to find the end of a data input string. The default
setting is <cr> (ASCII value 13). CR is an abbreviation of Carriage Return. The data string
terminator can be set to any character value. Note that the terminator must be the same in
WLinq and in the hardware you connect to the serial port. In setup manuals to barcode
scanners this setting is often called post-amble or suffix. To change Data String Terminator
you enter one or more characters (use
mnemonics
for control characters) in the input box or
you can click the Select button to display the dialog box
Select Data String Terminator
which
lets you choose a single character. Please note that data string terminator is removed from
incoming data. Example: The string 123<CR><LF> is received on the serial port and the
data string terminator is set to <CR><LF>. WLinq will trim away the <CR><LF> from the
end of the string before any further data processing takes place.
Note!
It is possible to specify several characters/strings as a data string terminator. For
example: "<cr><lf>","<etx>". In these cases you enter the string manually in the box
instead of selecting it from the list. You should use quotes around each data string
terminator.
Timeout
Specifies the period of time after which WLinq thinks the data input string is terminated.
When this option is selected the equipment you connect to WLinq should not have any suffix
set. Note! If you specify a too high value (approx. 1000 ms) the user will think the reading
time is slow. If you specify a too low value (< 30 ms) there's a risk the data input string will
be divided into two or more parts.
Filter Unknown Data Strings
If this box is checked, incoming data strings, that aren't matched by any data editing format, are
filtered. This is nice when you want to have control and only let strings that match data editing
formats to generate key presses.
Replacements
Displays the dialog box
