11. PERIPHERAL DEVICES
11.4. Barcode Scanner
The scale enables communication with a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is used to facilitate quick search for database records.
Enter < Communication> submenu and set baud rate for a barcode scanner (by default 9600b/s). For a detailed description of 'scale' - 'barcode scanner' communication, read ANNEX 01.
11.4.1. Port
Communication between the weighing device and the barcode scanner can be established via the following ports: RS232 (1), RS232 (2), , TCP, USB.
Procedure:
Enter < Peripherals / Barcode Scanner / Port> submenu and set respective port.
11.4.2. Prefix/Suffix
Parameter allowing you to edit < Prefix> and < Suffix>
in order to provide synchronization of the scale program with a barcode scanner.
In RADWAG-adopted standard, the prefix is 01 sign (byte) hexadecimal format, the suffix is 0D sign (byte) hexadecimal format. For a detailed description of 'scale' - 'barcode scanner' communication, read ANNEX 01.
Procedure:
Enter < Barcode Scanner / Prefix> submenu and, using the on-screen keyboard, enter a required value (hexadecimal format). Press
button to confirm.
Select < Suffix> parameter and enter hexadecimal value using the on-screen keyboard. Press button to confirm.
11.4.3. Field Selection
Parameter allowing you to specify, for which field the search is to be carried out in particular databases.
Procedure:
Enter < Peripherals / Barcode Scanner / Field selection>
submenu, list of fields for search is displayed.
Values: Product, Operator, Customer, Packaging, Source Warehouse, Target Warehouse, Dosing Process, Formulation, Universal Variable 1, Universal Variable 2, Universal Variable 3, Lot number, Batch number, Mass / Quantity, Workflow.
Enter selected option, the following list of parameters is displayed:
Filtering Parameter allowing you to declare search criteria.
Offset
Parameter allowing you to set the first significant code's character, characters preceding the first significant character are skipped during comparison search.
Code Length Parameter allowing you to set the number of code's characters to be taken into account during search procedure.
Start marker Parameter allowing you to declare scanned code start (either one digit or digits set can be declared).
End marker Parameter allowing you to declare scanned code end (either one digit or digits set can be declared).
< Formulation> field is an exception, it features additional submenu,
< Ingredients>, comprising the following parameters:
Filtering Parameter allowing you to declare search criteria (values:
None, Code).
Offset
Parameter allowing you to set the first significant code's character, characters preceding the first significant character are skipped during comparison search.
Code Length Parameter allowing you to set the number of code's characters to be taken into account during search procedure.
Start marker Parameter allowing you to declare scanned code start (either one digit or digits set can be declared).
End marker Parameter allowing you to declare scanned code end (either one digit or digits set can be declared).
Filtering criteria conditioned by the field type:
Field Selection Filtering
Product None, Name, Code, EAN code
Operator 1) None, Name, Code, Card no.
Customer None, Name, Code.
Packaging None, Name, Code.
Source warehouse None, Name, Code.
Target warehouse None, Name, Code.
Dosing process None, Name, Code.
Formulation None, Name, Code.
Ingredient None, Code
Universal variable 1 None, Code Universal variable 2 None, Code Universal variable 3 None, Code
Lot number No, Yes
Batch number No, Yes
Mass / Quantity 2) No, Yes
Workflow None, Name, Code.
1 Scanning user name or code results with user selection, password is required. Scanning user card number results with user log in, password is not required.
2
Option enabling weighing to be done using the barcode scanner. Available for Weighing, Parts counting, Percent weighing and Formulations modes. If the barcode comprises number 100 then upon scanning, mass 100 x (where x stands for the current unit) is saved. If the bar code comprises unit supported in a particular working mode, placed after the space (e.g. 100 g, 100 kg, 100 pcs), then upon scanning, value of mass with the unit is saved. In case of Formulations and Formulation Orders it is not possible to select product and save weighing with one scan. Two codes with markers are required for the above.
11.4.4. Test
Parameter allowing you to verify if operation of a barcode scanner connected to the scale is correct.
Procedure:
Enter < Barcode Scanner / Test> submenu, <Test> edit box is displayed, it features ASCII field and HEX field.
The code is scanned and entered to the ASCII field and HEX filed, next the test result is displayed in the bottom part.
When:
<Prefix> and <Suffix> declared in scale settings comply with <Prefix>
and <Suffix> of the scanned code, the test result is <Positive>.
<Prefix> and <Suffix> declared in scale settings do NOT comply with
<Prefix> and <Suffix> of the scanned code, the test result is <Negative>.
11.4.5. Delete Markers
Enabling/disabling < Start marker> and < End Marker> in scale-generated barcodes.
Procedure:
Enter < Barcode scanner / Delete markers> submenu and set respective value ( - Markers enabled, - Markers disabled).
11.4.6. Auto Measurement Record
Parameter enabling automatic record of measurement result at the moment when a particular database record is selected via the barcode scanner.
Procedure:
Enter < Barcode scanner / Auto measurement record>
submenu and set a respective option ( - Auto measurement record disabled, - Auto measurement record enabled).
11.4.7. J S
Use of barcode scanner activates script written in Java Script language.
Procedure:
Enter < Barcode Scanner / JS> submenu and set a respective Java Script code.
