Worth Data TriCoder t53 User Manual page 32

all of the fields of data, a Carriage Return is added to create a complete
record. Modifying Program #1 as an example, the data uploaded would
look like this:
"ITEM NUMBER", "QUANTITY"
"ITEM NUMBER", "QUANTITY"
"ITEM NUMBER", "QUANTITY"
where ITEM NUMBER is the first field, QUANTITY is the second field,
and both fields together make a record.
To program the TriCoder to upload in this format, the first thing we must do
is set the Terminator Character to "None". The idea is first, to stop the
TriCoder from automatically sending the same character after each field of
data, then second, customize the program in the TriCoder to transmit a
double quote before and after each data item, a comma after each field and a
carriage return after each record. To customize the program in the
TriCoder, we use the Upload Suffix to specify which character we want to
precede or follow each particular field. Using Program #1 as our example,
we will walk through the steps required to upload Program #1 in a Comma
delimited format:
1. Set the Terminator Character to NONE
Change the Terminator Character either by scanning the bar coded
setup menu , by TriCoder keypad in PROGRAMMING MODE, or if
you are using High Speed USB, you can change the TriCoder setup via
the TriCoder Utilities program. To change it using the bar coded
Setup Menu; scan these bar codes in the following order:
•
Scan START SETUP
•
Scan TERMINATOR CHARACTER
•
Scan 2
•
Scan END SETUP
(sets it to None)
