data easier to process for most applications. The following example shows
what the record looks like in the table:
11111TWINKIES - 4OZ $1.39 21
and what it will look like when it is uploaded to the computer:
“111111”,”TWINKIES - 4OZ ”,”$1.39 ”,” 21”
Downloading a table to the TriCoder
Tables are downloaded to the TriCoder through a Windows supported high
speed USB or a serial port. Before you can download a table, you must have:
•
partitioned the memory using the PARTITIONS setup parameter
•
setup the TriCoder as either serial or high speed USB (Windows)
A program to download a table to a TriCoder is supplied for Windows as
part of the TriCoder Utilities CD.
See Chapter 7; Using the TriCoder Utilities for instructions and details on
downloading a table using the TriCoder Utilities.
Pick Lists
Pick Lists are tables that provide instruction to the user. Typically they are
used in an order-picking type application where the pick list instructs the
user as to what product to pick, where to find it and how many to pick. The
logic used for a pick list can be used for other applications such as meter
reading (address of meter, where it is located, the meter reading).
A Pick List is really just a table, similar to that used for data validation and
data maintenance. To access a Pick List , use
P1P - accesses table 1
P2P - accesses table 2
P3P - accesses table 3
in the DATA ID to reference the correct table. When the operator uses the
data collection program, each item in the specified table (pick list) is
sequentially displayed until all items are picked by the operator.
A Pick List is downloaded to the TriCoder much the same way a regular table
is downloaded. Just as with a table, you can download the pick list using the
Windows TriCoder Utilities program or the DOS utilities. Upon uploading, if
the TriCoder sends and
SO (ASCII 14) as the EOF String, the TriCoder can
prompt the host to download a new pick list without user intervention.
Up to 4 fields are allowed in each pick list record. Each field can be from 1
to 19 characters long and can have one of the following properties:
