General tab > Data Output
There are three options for data output after decoding:
 Keyboard Emulation
- Data is emulated as typed text and sent to the active Window.
- Simply run your application or Pocket PC built-in program, such as Pocket
Excel, to start with data collection.
 Windows Message
- Data is encapsulated in a Windows message (WM_COPYDATA).
- Retrieve the WM_COPYDATA message in your application.
- The decoded data is passed to your application through the IParam parameter.
 Windows Event
- Whenever the reader reads a barcode, a Windows event object named
“DecodeEvent” will be signaled and the data will be stored in the Windows
message queue.
- Need to create an event object named “DecodeEvent” in your application so
that the ReaderCfg utility can signal your application using this event object.
- Call Windows API (ReadMsgQueue) in your application to retrieve the
decoded data.
Sample programs are provided for Windows Message & Event programming. For
details, please contact the technical support team of Syntech Information.
Note: For the use of a different program rather than ReaderCfg, a dynamic-link library
(DLL) file is provided.
