To Use The Barcode Reader - Agilent Technologies 7697A Advanced Operation Manual

To Use the Barcode Reader

Advanced Operation
To use the barcode reader:
• Select a barcode action.
• Enable the desired barcode symbologies.
• Enable the checksum, if desired.
• Set the barcode reader sequence action.
Barcode reader settings are method parameters. They can
change from sample to sample in a sequence by changing the
method.
However, most Agilent data systems directly control the
sequence behavior for barcodes. Method barcode sequence
actions are ignored when using an Agilent data system,
because the data system automatically replaces them with
the correct sequence action behaviors. The data system
sequence settings override any actions set in the method. If
using the HS standalone, then the barcode sequence actions
set using the keypad work as expected.
To apply barcode settings for a method:
Load the desired method.
1
Press [Adv Function].
2
Scroll to Barcode reader and press [Enter].
3
With BCR action selected, press [Mode/Type].
4
5 Select the desired BCR action from the list:
None: Do not use the barcode reader in this method.
•
Check read: For each vial run using this method, read
•
the vial barcode before loading the vial into the vial
oven.
• Check read before and after: For each vial run using this
method, read the vial barcode before loading the vial
into the vial oven, then read the barcode again when
retrieving the vial from the oven.
Scroll to Barcode symbology and press [Mode/Type].
6
7 Select the desired symbology from the list.
Select All to read any supported barcode type.
•
• If you select a specific symbology type, an error occurs
if the barcode read is not of that type. This feature can
be used to provide a check if you use different barcode
label codes for different sample types.
