Configuring the BarcodeExaminer

The BarcodeExaminer filters and modifies the received Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

  1. In the Setup mode, on the Barcode Reader page, at the upper-right corner select the Edit button.

  2. 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.

  3. Select or clear the checkbox for Identifier echo.

    When Identifier echo is selected the BarcodeExaminer will send the VIN number back to the controller.

  4. Select SAVE.
