These modules are arranged on a white background and can vary in size depending on the amount of data. Micro QR code: Select [Enable] to use the Micro QR code. The Micro QR code is a square-shaped structure composed of smaller modules than the standard QR code. rMQR code: Select [Enable] to use the rMQR code. The rMQR code is a rectangular variant of the Micro QR code. It has the same data storage capacity and functionality as a QR code but is designed in a rectangular shape.
Data matrix
Set the detailed settings of data matrix among scannable barcode types. Data Matrix is a type of 2D barcode that can store various data. This code comes in 2 types: square and rectangular, and is composed of multiple black and white cell blocks. These settings can be configured only when you select [Data matrix] under [Barcode type].
Standard: Select [Enable] to use square and rectangular types of data matrix barcodes. DMRE: Select [Enable] to use the extended version of data matrix barcodes.
Note
You can only type a number between 1 and 80 for the minimum and maximum code size for each barcode type. For the barcode to be scanned and decoded, the number of barcode characters should fall between 1 and 80. If you type a value less than “1”, “1” will be typed automatically; if you type a value greater than “80”, “80” will be typed. Even if the minimum and maximum values are the same, barcode scanning will function properly. The minimum value, however, must not be greater than the maximum value. If you type a value in [Minimum code size] greater than the value in [Maximum code size], the value will be adjusted to the last value you set.
Number of barcodes
Sends the number of barcodes scanned within one frame equal to the specified value. If there are fewer barcodes than the set value, all will be transmitted; if there are more barcodes than the set value, as many barcodes as the set value will be transmitted according to the priority you set in [Sorting priority].
Sorting priority
The settings in [Barcode setup] and [Number of barcodes] are in sync. If the number of barcodes scanned in one trigger exceeds the number set in [Maximum number of codes for each trigger], the barcodes will be selected and sent according to the selected sorting priority.
Top to bottom: Barcodes at the top of a frame have a higher priority of being selected and sent. Bottom to top: Barcodes at the bottom of a frame have a higher priority of being selected and sent. Left to right: Barcodes on the left of a frame are prioritized higher priority of being selected and sent. Right to left: Barcodes on the right of a frame have a higher priority of being selected and sent.
Decode settings
You can set the [Decode setting] options only when you select [Barcode de-duplication]. You can remove unnecessary duplicate scanned barcodes.
Don’t read the same code twice in a row: Select the checkbox to prevent the same barcode from being read twice in a row. Don’t re-read the last N codes: When reading multiple types of barcodes, N barcodes read from the last are not read again. For example, if you type “2” for N, the different types of barcodes A, B, and C are read by the following operation: A (Read), B (Read), A (Not read), B (Not read), C (Read), A (Read. A is not included in the last two codes “B” and “C” which have been read successfully.) Delay mode: If you select [First read], a barcode that has already been read will not be read again during the time you set in [Code re-read delay time], but will be read again after the time set in [Code re-read delay time] has elapsed. If you select [Last read], a barcode that has already been read will not be read again even after the time set in [Code re-read delay time] has elapsed. However, even if you select [Last read], an already-read barcode may be read again if it disappears from the screen for a longer amount of time than the time set in [Code re-read delay time] and is then read again. Code re-read delay time: Type the code re-read delay time (ms) if you select [First read] in [Code re-read delay time]. The already-read barcode will not be read again until the typed time has elapsed.
Middleware
You can set the data format of the barcode to link to the middleware. When linking to the middleware, you can also set the detailed settings of the server and client, as well as the master and slave cameras.
Standard
You can set the data format of the barcode to be sent to the middleware. Up to two data formats can be set. The data formats you set will be linked to the [Data format] of each [Server] and [Client] under the [Master/Slave] tab.
Send non-printable characters
You can send control characters that you can’t type directly from the keyboard, including characters that cannot be displayed on the screen and that have ASCII values ranging from 0 to 31. Select [Enable] to internally convert characters entered in [Prefix] and [Suffix] to HEX values and transmit them. If you do not select [Enable], the characters you entered will be sent untransformed.
fi Pre x
Enter the characters that will appear before barcode data.
Data
Select the data items to include in the barcode information that will be sent to the middleware. The middleware will arrange the barcode data in the order that you choose. Select data items from the list and click [+] to add them to the text field, or delete an item from the text field by clicking [-]. Each data item is described below:
SubString: Displays a set range of characters from the entire barcode characters. You can specify the range by selecting [SubString] from [Data] items and clicking [Set sub-string range]. For example, if you enter “1,4-“, the first character and characters 4 to end will be displayed. FullString: Displays the entire barcode character. DecodeTime: Displays how long it took to decode in milliseconds (ms). Symbology: Displays the type of barcode. CRLF: Inserts a line (text-wrapping) break between each data item and outputs it on a new line. Tab: Adds a tab. Space: Uses a space character. CodePosition: Displays the coordinate information of the decoded barcode. CodeCenterPosition: Displays the barcode center position information. ResultSource: Displays the camera information (model name-MAC address) related to barcode information sources. LocalTime: Displays the local time used in the specific region. UTCTime: Displays the international standard time. ReceiveData: Displays data extracted in [Settings]>[Middleware]>[Receive data]. TriggerIndex: Displays the trigger number received by the camera. Status: Displays the scanned barcode’s status. If the trigger mode is activated, the status will be “No read” in case of no barcodes scanned in a single trigger signal; the status will be “Read” in case of a barcode scanned. If the trigger mode is deactivated, the status of all barcodes will be “Read”.
ffi Su x
Enter the characters that will appear after barcode data. Click [Wrap (CR/LF)] to display prefix+data+suffix, and after inserting a line break to display barcode information.
Delimiter
You can set which delimiter is used between the selected [Data] items. Select [None] not to use a delimiter. If you select [Space], [Comma], [Tab], the barcode information will be separated by “space” “comma” “tab”, respectively. Select [Label] to display the data’s title and information; select [XML] to display the barcode information in XML format.
Test results
Click [Test] to test the barcode data you entered and view the results.
Note
When the trigger mode is activated, <ReceiveData>, a type of the [Data] items, transmits data only when the trigger receives a signal. The data is reset whenever each trigger signal stops. When the trigger mode is deactivated, <ReceiveData> continues to transmit data regardless of whether or not a trigger is fired. <ReceiveData> will keep and send the previous data until the next data is transmitted.
Master/Slave
To link to the middleware, set the server and client, as well as the master and slave cameras. Settings for [Server] and [Client] are designed to send barcode information to the middleware. Settings for [Master] and [Slave] aim for the master camera to collect information from the slave camera, remove duplicates, and send it.
Server
Select [Enable] to activate [Client port].
Client port
Set the port number to connect to the client.

Master port
Enter the port number for the master camera to connect. The default value is 7000.
Receive data
You can extract a specific value (data) from data sent from an external device to the WiseBCR app by transforming it. Then the specific value will be transmitted via ReceiveData, a type of the [Data] items, in [Settings]> [Middleware]>[Standard].
Data
Enter <ReceiveData> in place of the specific value you want to receive out of data transmitted from the external device. You can enter in the entry field by referring to the value you set as a data value to be sent by the external device. For example, if the data sent by the external device is set to *message=1234*, and you want to receive 1234 via the WiseBCR app, enter *message=<ReceiveData>* in the data entry field. In short, enter *message= in the entry field, click [+] to automatically add <ReceiveData>, and then enter *.
Note
You can enter uppercase (A-Z), lowercase (a-z), numbers (0-9), and special characters (`!@#$%^&*()-_+={}[]|,:;”‘<>./? ~ and space) in the [Data] entry field. You can enter up to 255 letters including <ReceiveData>.
Trigger
When a product passes a certain point, the sensor detects it and generates a trigger, which scans the barcode, allowing you to efficiently gather and manage data.
Trigger
Trigger
Select [Enable] to activate the [Trigger] feature.
Trigger type
Continuous: Captures an image at the framerate set in [Video & audio] > [Camera setup] > [Sensor] and transmits the results of the barcode scanned in the image while the value of the trigger signal remains High, i.e., 1. Single: Captures a single image after receiving the trigger signal and transmits the results of the barcode scanned in the image. Burst: Captures the number of images equal to the burst length after receiving the trigger signal, and transmits the results of the barcode scanned in the image.
Trigger polarity
Rising edge: Captures an image depending on the rising edge of the trigger signal. Falling edge: Captures an image depending on the falling edge of the trigger signal.
Start delay time
Delays depending on the start time of the trigger signal received by the BCR camera.
End delay time
Delays depending on the end time of the trigger signal received by the BCR camera. This option is activated only when you select [Trigger type] > [Continuous].
Time out
Set the decoding time. Barcodes will be decoded at the start of the trigger signal. For example, if you set it to ‘500 milliseconds (ms)’, the barcode will be scanned (decoded) within 0.5 seconds after the trigger starts. This option is activated only when you select [Trigger type] > [Single] or [Burst].
Burst length
Set the number of images to be captured after a trigger signal is received in burst mode. This option is activated only when you select [Trigger type] > [Burst].
Maximum number of codes for each trigger
Set the maximum number of barcodes that can be scanned per one trigger. This option is sync with the [Allow partial results] option.
When [Allow partial results] is disabled: Transmits as much barcode information as the value set according to the priority only when the number of barcodes scanned within one trigger signal is equal to or greater than the value set in [Maximum number of codes for each trigger]. When [Allow partial results] is enabled: Transmits barcode information even when the number of barcodes scanned within one trigger signal is fewer than the value set in [Maximum number of codes for each trigger].
Allow partial results
Select [Enable] to transmit all barcodes even when the number of the decoding results in a single trigger is fewer than the number set in [Maximum number of codes for each trigger]. If you do not select [Enable], all barcodes will be sent only when the number of the decoding results is equal to or greater than the number set in [Maximum number of codes for each trigger].
Allow identical barcode
Select [Enable] to allow an identical barcode within a single frame.
Sorting priority
The settings in [Barcode setup] and [Number of barcodes] are in sync. If the number of barcodes scanned in one trigger exceeds the number set in [Maximum number of codes for each trigger], the barcodes will be selected and sent according to the selected sorting priority.
Top to bottom: Barcodes at the top of a frame have a higher priority of being selected and sent. Bottom to top: Barcodes at the bottom of a frame have a higher priority of being selected and sent. Left to right: Barcodes on the left of a frame are prioritized higher priority of being selected and sent. Right to left: Barcodes on the right of a frame have a higher priority of being selected and sent.
