CWT Software Configuration Handbook
Element Path: <cwt><CORE><barcodeReader>
| Note: Only for AVE Main board |
The element barcodeReader defines which barcode scanner is used and which COM port it is connected to.
A barcode reader can be used to enter text on input panels instead of using the keyboard. The barcode reader is always off until activated. It is activated by a button on the input panel. It is turned off when a barcode has been scanned or a cancel/timeout occurs.
The scanned barcode text replaces the content in the input field.
If the scanned barcode text is longer than the MaximumLength defined for the input field, the text is not entered in the input field (the field is cleared if not empty) and the user is notified.
