5.9.7 Importing and exporting reaction and sample
data
Import IDs using a bar code reader
Bar code sample IDs can be imported using bar code
readers that can connect to a computer via a USB or
keyboard wedge. A keyboard wedge is an input device that
is inserted between the keyboard plug and the computer
keyboard socket. For the best results, the bar code reader
system should be able to simulate user tabs or carriage
returns appended to the bar code. These simulated tabs or
carriage returns automatically move the data input point
(cursor) on the data table to the next input cell each time a
bar code is read.
