Appendix A: Database Formatting
The default output format of each record in the database file is:
<Barcode (40 chrs)>,<Quantity (6 chrs)>,<serial #>,<hh:mm:ss>,<dd/mm/yyyy>
However, this application allows you to customize this format to make it suitable for your own application.
The following aspects of the output format are configurable. Read the configuration barcodes on the following pages to select the various options.
Date format 16 date formats are supported (see following page)
Time format Two time formats are supported (hh:mm:ss and hh:mm)
Field separator The field separator is the character that is used to separate the various fields of a database record.
Seven different separators can be selected.
Enable/disable delete key By default, the small delete key can be used to remove a previously read barcode from the database or reduce
its quantity by one. By disabling the delete key, stored data cannot be deleted in this way.
Barcode field size By default, the barcode field size is 40 characters long, but this can be changed between 1 and 99 characters by
reading two configuration labels on the following page to specify both digits of the desired size.
Quantity field size By default, the quantity field is six characters long, but this can be changed from one to eight characters if
desired.
Delete record if quantity=0 By default, a record is deleted if a barcode in the database (with a quantity of one) is read using the delete key.
However, if you desire to keep a record of all delete actions, it is possible to leave the record with a quantity of
‘0’ in the database by disabling this option.
Negative quantities allowed/
now allowed
By default, you can not delete a barcode that is not present in the database. However, for some purposes, it can
be useful to be able to read them anyway to specify a negative quantity.
Field output sequence Each record can contain up to five fields (barcode, date, time, quantity and serial number). The output sequence
can be customized by reading up to five labels on the following page.
By not specifying a quantity field, each barcode will be stored separately in the database. The database also
will not be sorted and in case a barcode is read using the delete key, the last occurrence in the database will
be deleted.
It is not allowed to not specify a barcode field in the output sequence.
Note: when changing the field sequence, make sure you have downloaded the existing database file from the
OPN or otherwise formatted the RAM disk.
