Datalogic Configure
The Datalogic Configure action (screenshot below) configures the Datalogic barcode scanner. New barcode scans will be carried out according to the settings defined by the Configure action/s. Each Configure action defines one configuration setting. You can add as many Configure actions as you want to an event's action handler, and these actions will be executed in order from first to last.
| Note: | Make sure that a Datalogic Connect/Disconnect action is triggered before any Configure action is triggered. |
| Note: | Since Datalogic scanners are Android devices, MT solutions for them must be designed for Android. |
To define a configuration, select a configuration option from the Datalogic Configure dropdown list (see screenshot above) and then assign to it a configuration value. You can either select a value from the corresponding dropdown list or enter an XPath expression to select a valid value. The advantage of using an XPath expression is that the value can be selected dynamically (for example, from a node of a page source). If not explicitly noted in the list below, an XPath expression must evaluate to the string equivalent of one of the values in the corresponding dropdown list.
The following Datalogic scanner configuration options are available. For more information about specific configuration options, see your Datalogic scanner's technical documentation.
•Start/Stop Decode: To start decoding barcode data, select Start (XPath true()). To stop decoding, select Stop (XPath false()).
•Press/Release Trigger: Whether to start the decoding on the press of the trigger (XPath true()) or the release of the trigger (XPath false()).
•Enable/Disable Keyboard Wedge: Whether the keyboard wedge feature of Datalogic scanners is enabled (XPath true()) or disabled (XPath false()).
•Set LED On/Off/Blink: Sets the LED mode and what triggers the LED.
•Get Device Info: Gets scanner-related information and lets you choose whether to include the device image or not. This data will be passed to the $MT_DATALOGICSCANNER page source tree and can be accessed from there.
MobileTogether extension functions
MobileTogether provides a range of XPath extension functions that have been specifically created for use in MobileTogether designs. Some functions can be particularly useful with specific actions. For example, mt-available-languages() returns the languages in which the solution is available and could, for example, be used with the Message Box action. If a function is especially relevant to this action, it is listed below. For a full list of extension functions and their descriptions, see the topic MobileTogether Extension Functions.
