TYPE
• Select the type of data to read from the barcode. Note that if the barcode is to provide
a serial number then the Serial Number Type (see Serial Numbering below) must be
set to ‘Barcode’.
• Options:
o Serial No: Extract only a serial number from the barcode. This is stored with
the result data for printing or data collection.
o Product: Extract a product identifier from the barcode. If the product
identifier matches the barcode i/d of a product, then that product is selected for
use.
o Combined: The barcode contains both a product identifier and a serial
number.
o Separate: Product identifier and serial number are separate barcodes. There
must be no ambiguity between the barcode data.
 If a product identifier is scanned that matches the barcode i/d of a
product, then that product is selected for use.
 If a serial number is extracted that matches the serial number mask
then it will be used for the next test. Start On Scan applies to the serial
number when separate barcodes are used.
o Paired: Product identifier and serial number are separate barcodes that must
be scanned as pairs. There must be no ambiguity between the barcode data.
 A valid product code MUST be scanned before a serial number code is
accepted..
 If a product identifier is scanned that matches the barcode i/d of a
product, then that product is selected for use.
 If a serial number is extracted that matches the serial number mask
then it will be used for the next test. Start On Scan applies to the serial
number when separate barcodes are used.
PRODUCT START
• Define the position of the first character of the product i/d within the barcode text.
• Options: 1 to 64.
PRODUCT LENGTH
• Define the length of the product i/d within the barcode text.
• Options: 0 to 16.
SERIAL No. START
• Define the position of the first character of the serial number within the barcode text.
• Options: 1 to 64.
SERIAL No. LENGTH
• Define the length of the serial number within the barcode text.
• When the serial number mask is blank the serial number length is the number of
characters required for the serial number; too few characters are invalid, too many are
truncated.
• When a mask is used the serial number length is a maximum length, not a required
length. This allows a variable length serial number to be used, up to a maximum of 20
characters, although the mask is limited to 16 characters. The mask can be used to set
the minimum length.
• Options: 0 to 20.
