Data Edit
"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 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.
There are two parts to each DataEdit, 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. The paste script is used to configure the output and layout of the data.
