Configuring the BarcodeExaminer
The BarcodeExaminer filters and modifies the received Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
In the Setup mode, on the Barcode Reader page, at the upper-right corner select the Edit button.
Enter the Workpiece id mask or the Workpiece id regular expression.
The Workpiece id mask option retrieves the + characters and excludes the - characters from the VIN. One example: SN355TAB and --+++-+- results in 355A, which can be used as workpiece id or alias of a workpiece. This enables having a serial number and a part number in the same VIN.
The Workpiece id regular expression options replaces the Workpiece id mask with a regular expression. The simplest case: SN355TAB and ..(...).(.).* results in 355A. More complex options are possible, e.g. the VIN has a variable amount of serial number digits in it: SN355TAB, SN27844TAB, SN762455757TAB and ..\d*.(..).* will result in AB.
Select or clear the checkbox for Identifier echo.
When Identifier echo is selected the BarcodeExaminer will send the VIN number back to the controller.
Select SAVE.
