Using Split Code Functionality

The primary use case for split code functionality is ManyCode jobs containing labels with two codes. In this case, the Connectivity Gateway combines barcodes from multiple decode results (from the same follower or two different followers) into one output with formatting.

The advantage of Split Code is that a single follower device is not required to decode both codes in the field of view. This solution depends on fewer follower devices to cover the gateway field of view with less field of view overlap.

The following Split Code modes determine the result sent to the host:

Disabled:
split code functionality is disabled

Mode 1:
the output result is equal to code 1 and code 2 and combines the decodes of code 1 and code 2.

Mode 2:
the output result is equal to code 1 equals (code 2 or code 3). The output result combines code 1 with either code 2 or code 3, depending on which code is received first.

Mode 3:
the output result = code 1 + code 2 + code 3. The output result combines code 1, code 2, and code 3.

Mode 4:
the output result = (code 1 + code 2) OR (code 2 + code 3) OR (code 1 + code 3). The Output result consists of a combination of either 2 of the available three codes (whichever is received first).

Mode 5:
code 1 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 1)

Mode 6:
(code 1 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 1)) or (code 3 + code 2) or (code 3 + code 1)

Mode 7:
(code 1 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 1)) or code 1

Mode 8:
(code 1 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 1)) or (code 3 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 3 [starting at position 7]))

Mode 9:
(code 1 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 1)) or (code 3 + code 2 (if code 2 contains code 3 [starting at position 7])) or code 3

The following description provides information on formatting ManyCode and codes 1-3:

Example combination for Mode 1:

Follower 1 Data:
– CODE128,Y29kZTFDMTI4MTIzNDU=~~##~~~~$$~~

Follower 2 Data:
– PDF-417,Y29kZTFQREYxMjM0NTY3ODkw~~##~~~~$$~~

Result Output
- CODE128,Y29kZTFDMTI4MTIzNDU=~~##~~PDF-417,Y29kZTFQREYxMjM0NTY3ODkw~~##~~~~$$~~
