Output Formatting

Output Formatting

Use Output Formatting to customize data output from identification and Machine Vision Tools. Access Output Formatting using the
Connect
chevron to adjust delimiter settings for each tool or job.
  1. Navigate to the
    Connect
    chevron and click
    Output Formatting
    .
    Standard identification tools (Read Barcode, Read DPM, Read DPM & Barcode, and Datacode) will have their Decodes.formattedOutputValue output. If there is more than one standard identification tool, the additional tool's Decodes.formattedOutputValue will be appended to the existing result data. The output result will be in the order of the tools on the flowbuilder. For example, barcodeTool1barcodeTool2barcodeTool3
    Machine Vision Tools will add the overall job Success field (Pass/Fail) to the result output. If a standard identification tool is in the job, the job Success field is added to the front of the output result with a comma separator between the job success and barcode data.
    For MV tools only: Pass
    For MV tools and standard identification tools: Pass,barcodeTool1barcodeTool2barcodeTool3
