1.2.4 ENABLE MSQI
Multiple Scan Quantity Incrementing (MSQI) enables a form to be performed repeatedly,
whereupon the data collected is saved to a data file until the [ESC] key is pressed.
With MSQI selected in a Form property page, the first 2 input fields of the data
collecting form are set to the following status:
The 1
st
input field data type is set to “Text”. In the Lookup group box, the available
lookup options rely on how many lookup files you have configured in the Lookup
property page.
The 2
nd
input field data type is set to “MSQI” by which the input value increases to
the next higher value (normally increases by 1) when the same barcode is
continuously scanned.
The initial value/text of a MSQI field is set to “0” by default. Users can click the More
button to bring up the dialog box and then specify a value instead. And if the MSQI
field is set to fetch any lookup value, the lookup value applies.
With MSQI enabled, if you choose to use a lookup file, the input fields of the 3
rd
and up
will become available for you to import more information from the lookup file.
