Version Differences for Data Edit - Opticon Technical Support Portal

"Data Edit" is the replacement programming script for output formatting for newer 2D-imager scan engines (Gen 3, 4, 5 & newer) like the: MDI3xxx, MDI4xxx, MDI5xxx. Data Editing is much more powerful than "Data Wizard" and the format is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression regular expressions] type of script programming language.

Opticon’s DataEdit™ (Data Editing) gives the end user the capability to qualify, extract and/or manipulate the decoded data string from a bar code’s default output into a more desired format that the end user can use.

Opticon’s DataEdit™ (Data Editing) gives the end user the capability to qualify, extract and/or manipulate the decoded data string from a bar code’s default output into a more desired format that the end user can use. The scanner can have upto four (4) Data Edit programs active and are tested in sequence to see if the bar code just decoded qualifies. If it does qualify, it continues the Data Edit program, if it does not qualify, it will skip that Data Edit program and go to test the next Data Edit program in the sequence #1-2-3, then #4 if programmed. If the scanned barcode does not qualify, then the data outputs as normal.

There are two parts to each DataEdit, a Cut Script and a Paste Script.

There are two parts to each Data Edit program: a '''Cut Script''' and a '''Paste Script'''.

The cut script is used to qualify (specific code symbology and perhaps a specific format), and group specific sections of a barcode into data buffers to be used by the next section, the "Paste Script".
