Chapter 1 Form
When “Time” is set to the data type of an input field, the line it occupies on the mobile
computer’s screen doesn’t accept data input but imports time info, with time resolution
configurable down to seconds granularity. The time info is saved into a form’s transaction
entry and stored in the data file.
To further write the time info into lookup files, set the Record mode of a form to “Save &
update” (See also
1.2.3 Record.). Note a corresponding field must be assigned for the
lookup file to admit the time info.
A More button is available to set whether the time info shows on the mobile computer’s
screen and how it manifests itself (its output format).
1.9.18 SERIAL
This data type is used to keep information with the serial number of a particular terminal,
indicating the data record was created by some terminal according to the serial number.
1.9.19 LARGE DATA
When an input field is set to “Large Data”, it accepts data of maximum 2048 characters
collected by 2D scan engines.
This data type is only available when the reader type is set to 2D reader for 8200, 8400,
8500 and 8700 mobile computers by the “Initial” page under “Setting” property page.
Refer to
5.1.4 Reader Option.
Each form can have one input field set to read large data.
The maximum field length is set to 160 characters by default. To extend the field
length up to 2048 characters, you need to manually configure the “Max. Length”
setting.
Note, for “Large Data”, the “Read partial barcode” is enabled by default whereby
only a short piece of the scanned barcode will be read, from the 1
st
character to the
20
th
character by default. If you need the whole extended data to be read, be sure to
disable “Read partial barcode” in the advanced setting of the input field. Click the
“More” button of an input field to pop up a [Properties] dialogue box. See
1.15.2
Barcode Input.
Note: The setting of “Variable” / “Field” element isn’t available when both of the
conditions are met: (1) More than 160 characters are set for the maximum field
length, and (2) the “Read partial barcode” is disabled.
