5.3 Code ID
Up to two characters of Code ID can be configured for each symbology. To
minimize the Code ID configuration efforts, the scanner provides five
predefined Code ID Sets that user can select from. User can first select one
of the Code ID Sets and then make desired modifications. The pre-defined
Code ID Sets are shown below.

6. Data Editing
The Pulsar C provides advanced data editing functions for data formatting.
Data editing is performed according to user configured editing formats. Up
to three editing formats can be configured.
Data is divided into fields by user specified rules. These fields together with
user configurable additional fields constitute the data actually sent to the
host computer. The detailed descriptions and the configuration procedures
of the editing format are described in this section.
6.1 Select Editing Format
To start configuring an editing format, the editing format to be configured
must first be selected. Once it is selected, the parameters pertaining to
editing format (applicable condition, total number of field, field dividing
rules, additional fields, and field transmission sequence parameters) can be
configured. After all the desired parameters are configured, the “End of
Format Programming” label must be read to complete the configuration of
that editing format.
Note: Before completing the configuration of the editing format, if
parameters other than those pertaining to editing format are read, the
editing format under configuration will be aborted. User must restart the
configuration again by selecting editing format to be configured.
6.2 Restore Default Format
After the editing format to be configured is selected, user can read the
“Restore Default Format” label to put the editing format back to default
setting. The default settings of the editing format are listed below.
• Applicable Code Type: All
• Applicable Length: Both max and min length are zero.
• Matching string: Empty
• Matching String Location: 0
• Total number of field: 1
• Field Setting: Not Configured
• Additional Fields: Empty
• Field Transmission Sequence: F1
6.3 Applicable Conditions
Three applicable conditions can be configured to qualify whether the data
read by the scanner can be processed by the particular editing format. Data
editing will not be performed unless all three applicable conditions are met.
The configurable applicable conditions are described below.
