DEFINING DATA FORMATTING
Headers and terminators can be set for both cradle and reader. If
working with a Lynx™ BT paired with an OM-1000, the cradle
headers and terminators have the priority while the reader's ones
are ignored (refer to par. 5.1 and par. 6.1.1).
CAUTION
The string of a decoded code to be sent to the host may be formatted as follows:
•
defining simple data formatting (see "Data Format" in par. 5.1);
•
defining advanced data formatting giving complete flexibility in changing the
format of data (see par. 5.2).
When both simple and advanced data formatting are selected the info is processed in
the following order:
1.
the string of the decoded code is processed according to the advanced
formatting rules;
2.
the resulting string is processed according to the selection type rules of the
simple data formatting;
3.
character substitution is performed on the resulting string;
4.
character deletion is performed on the resulting string;
5.
code concatenation is performed;
6.
code ID is attached to the resulting string;
7.
global headers and terminators are attached to the resulting string;
The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the
following two conditions:
•
one code per scan: Lynx™ sends the code being closest to the image center. If
the "Central Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the code containing
the image center will be transmitted (see "Reading Parameters" in par. 5.1);
•
all codes per scan: the codes to be sent to the host may be ordered either by
length or by symbology starting from the code being closest to the image center
(see par. "Reading Parameters" in par. 5.1). When enabling both these criteria,
codes belonging to the same symbology are sent to the host depending on their
length.
