Match String allows you to specify the string that must be matched for the Decode Tool to pass.
The Match String function for the Decode Tool allows you to enter a ‘?’ character as a wildcard character. Match String for the Decode Tool does not support special characters.
When a decoded symbol contains non-printable characters, the Match String can accept hexadecimal escape codes. These are of the form \xFF, where FF represents two hexadecimal digits. The "x" and the hex digits are not case sensitive.
To be processed, the escape sequence must be fully formed; otherwise it is treated as if it were not an escape sequence.
For example, to match ABCD<cr>EFG, where <cr> is a carriage return (hex 0D), set Match String to:
ABCD\x0DEFG
Using a serial command, this would be:
SET matchstring1 ABCD\x0DEFG
Status – True/False status of the tool.
Decoded Text – Raw decoded text.
GS1 Format Text – GS1 decoded text.
Center Point – Center point of symbol (x, y, angle), normally in pixels. In world-space when calibrated.
Decoded Type – Type of symbol.
