# Scanning a barcode

In the Route page, tap the More options icon (). Then, select Scan.

The SCAN button allows to scan a barcode to find the corresponding inspection(s) (Tool, Joint or Part inspections) remotely.
If the remote search finds a single inspection, a Route with the name of the barcode identifier is created and the inspection is automatically run.
If the remote search finds multiple inspections with the same barcode identifier, a Route with the name of the barcode identifier is created and the inspection of interest can be run from the list.

The measuring device stores only the latest Route created scanning a barcode identifier, the previous one is deleted from the device memory.

During the synchronization with an external software, a popup message informing of the ongoing synchronization might be displayed.
