The initial registration record and business classification record are fixed for each delivery system.Hebday nog, detail, and footing records are fixed at the R wander of each data entry selected for the business.Initial registration, business classification, and heading , each footing record may not exist.

Each record other than business classification is composed of a plurality of items as shown in FIG.

(4) Parameter settings for each heading, detail, and plugging code.Heading can be expressed as a total of 6 meters in minutes, a total amount of money, or the year, month, day, hour, and minute of input or output. This is the part for storing data in memory 4 degrees, and the parameter settings are, for example, for JOB #0101 to 0114.
, items #lO to #14 can be performed.

Table 2 shows the setting method.

Further, the detail is a part that shows details, such as the unit price and loss m of each product, for example. The setting method is
It is shown in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2.

The staking record is a record located next to the last detail record, and is used for closing purposes, such as storing the total amount of money in the detail record, for example.

The setting method is shown in Table 4.

Hereinafter, specific setting methods will be explained according to Tables 2 to 4.

Item #lO] Specification of various information for the item (a) Item length Specify the required length (digit length) for each item. However, C/D
Check code, decimal point 1. ”, sign “±2, etc. Contains 1 item and 11 classification codes. The digit length specified here is allocated to the data registration memory.

(b) Display area Regarding the area for monitoring when inputting using the numeric keypad or displaying input contents when inputting using the barcode reader TPR,
Specify the length of 1 and 3 digits and 1 digit.

(c) Item delimiter code Specifies whether or not to store a code representing the delimiter of each item when storing each input item in the data registration memory. When storing, specify the code (1 digit).

Note that the code designation is different for 4BIT and 8BIT.

(d) Input end key When inputting using the numeric keys, the key indicating the end of inputting an item is designated by a key code. When the key specified here is input, it is assumed that the input of the corresponding item is completed.

(e) Calendar function Calendar functions provided by the system include writing (initial registration items only) and reading (heading and detail items only).

You can specify "Yes" or "No" for these functions.

If you specify "Yes", the content will be "year, month, and day."

Specify only one of the following: "hour and minute", "year, month, day, day of the week, hour and minute".

(r) Specify whether or not TPR input is possible. Since numeric keypad input is always possible for any item, multiple input with the numeric keypad is required for items designated as allowing TPR input.

[Item #11] Specification of various check methods (a) Month/Date check etc. For checking "Monday/Day", "Hour/Minute", "Month/Sunday/Hour/Minute", for example, 00≦Hour≦23.00≦Minute≦59 Perform such checks.

(b) Range check This range check checks whether the input amount is within the range from the lower limit value to the upper limit value.
It can be specified from 0 range tables (O1 to 10). In this check, if there is no pond check specification (for example, month/day check) for one item U, multiple types and up to five types of checks can be performed.In that case, "OR" for each type can be performed. Let's do it. Only the effective digits are checked, and the sign and decimal point are ignored.

Table 5 shows the above range table.

(C) Check Dinot [C/D check for C/Dl check input items. It is also possible to perform a C/D check by adding other items to the beginning of the input items.

As weights, n+, Ilt, ns, +14.
The weight allocation method when Ill is specified is the first
Shown in Figure 1.

Further, the contents of the C/D check are not shown in Table 6, and up to six types can be specified from the G/D table.

The parameters to be set include the number of the C/D table, whether or not to add other items, and, if added, the item number.

(d) Verification check with the initial setting memory The input data is compared with the data stored in the initial setting memory.

As a result of the comparison, if a match is found, the input data is processed, and if it is not a match, an error occurs.

(e) Total check This is an equality check between the input data value of the heading and detail item and the totalizer (for addition) [explained later] that the system has.
As shown in the figure.

This match check can be used for heading and detail records. Here, any one of the system totalizer numbers (01 to 04) is specified.

1m (total value) of the system totalizer that calculated the total is cleared when the second check is completed.

The system totalizer will be described in detail in the section "(C) Use of system totalizer" below.

(f) Master data search check This check is possible for heading and detail input items, and the processing when this check is specified in the input item is as follows.

Incidentally, FIG. 3 shows the structure of the mask file.

(F-D Specifications when searching and checking master data include specifying the key data in the input data and specifying the format of the mask registration memory.

Cr-2) Search from the beginning of the detail record group in the mask registration memory using the specified input data key.

(b) When it is not in the mask registration memory You can specify whether to make it an error or ignore it.

-Sounds a high-pitched long buzzer when an error occurs. The long buzzer can be turned off by pressing the GE key among the funkshitan keys, and this item must be entered again.

・When ignoring After processing the input data, move on to inputting the next item.

(C) Master Registration Memo Once a month, among the master data items, the MAXIO item is displayed on the LCD display 1.The displayed content is referred to when inputting detail items.

- Specify the display area for each item of mask data (do this for each data entry) Specify the length of 1 digit and 5 digits of the line to be displayed for each item.

When the line specification is set to "0", that item is not displayed.

The position and length of each item of master data and the designation of the edit type for display are shown in Table 9 and Table 1θ, respectively.

In Table 10, the edit designations during display are as follows.

°0”...No editing → Display the image in memory as is.

“Bi...Suppress leading zeros and display only the significant digits in memory.

“2”: Display with leading zeros suppressed to the first decimal place.

°3°...Suppress and display zeros to the second decimal place.

Note that the contents of the displayed mask data are erased when the input of the final item of the heading and detail record is completed.

This master data search check will be explained later in the <Master File Function> section.

(g) Data registered check This check is possible only for detail input items, and the processing when this check is specified in the input item is as follows.

Similar to the detail record memory search function, input data (positive integer) is edited in the same way as a memory format, and using this as a key, start from the beginning of the same detail record group that is currently being input in the data registration memory. Search 4 degrees.

(b) Display the contents of the finely searched detail record that has already been input and sound a high-pitched buzzer. The display is the same as the input screen for the detail currently being input. Editing during display is done as follows.

*Fixed digit items are displayed as images in memory.

* Variable digit items are displayed with leading zeros suppressed. (
If there is a decimal part, " is also displayed.) The subsequent processing is as follows.

* When the key to delete is entered, the buzzer and display contents disappear, and the entire searched detail record in the data registration memory is filled with the specified special code (same as the memory clear code when deleting memory search). This item will be entered again.

*When a key that is not deleted is entered Turn off the buzzer and the displayed content, and enter this item again.

You can specify a key to delete or not to delete the searched detail record on the data registration memory.

(b) When the input has not been completed After processing the input data, move on to inputting the next item.

[Item #12] Memory editing method etc. Although the designation method for the memory editing method differs depending on the type of heading, detail, and footing, here, the memory editing method for detail records shown in Table 3 will be mainly explained.

(a) Memory editing method (1) '00° to °02' Decimal point base and number of decimal places Specify the position of the decimal point in the memory (0 to 2 digits, no decimal point when specified as '0'), With this specification, the input data will be edited based on the specified decimal point position. In this case, overflows will be cut and missing parts will be filled with zeros. If there is no decimal point, the right end will be edited as the decimal point position.

Whether or not the decimal point position is stored depends on the system parameter settings.

(2) Delete the last digit of lO° The last digit (C/D value) of the input data is deleted and stored right-aligned. Overflows are cut and missing parts are filled with zeros.

(3) “2n” C/D addition Add the C/D value next to the last digit of the input data and store it right-aligned. That is, "i" designates the item number of the C/D table (n=1 to 6).

In this case as well, the overflow is cut and the shortage is filled with zeros.

(b) Addition of other items (data synthesis) Addition of other items is data synthesis of IN, and is synthesized with input data of other items (heading or detail).

In this case, in the memory editing method of (a), the other item addition code "30" is specified, and then, in (b), the item number of the other item to be added is specified.

(C) Use of system totalizers This system has a total of four totalizers (integer part + 4 digits, decimal part 2 digits).
is available and can be used in the following ways.

*Save input data.

*Add input data. .

* Read the system totalizer data.

* Check that the input data and system totalizer value are equal.

* Check that the values of nostem totalizers are equal.

By combining these usage methods with input items, settings can be made, for example, as shown in Table 11 below.

Usable range (1) Use in heading or detail record As shown in Figure 16 (a), the total is a numeric key entry item and the input value is the total of items 1 to n. An equality check is performed between the numeric key input value and the total value (added to the system totalizer when inputting items 1 to 1) (see the section on total check). Note that at this time, it is not possible to input total items from the 7-stem totalizer without using the numeric keys.

(2) Use in detail record and footing record As shown in Figure 16 (b), when inputting the total of the input items of the detail record in the footing record, the total numeric key input value and The total value (added to the system totalizer when inputting item n) is checked for equality.

It is also possible to input the total from the system totalizer without using the numeric keypad.

(3) Use in heading records, detail records, and footing records As shown in Figure 16 (C), enter the total value of the input items of the detail record in the input items of the heading record (total (Save it in the system totalizer when inputting n)
, when entering the footing record, add the total value of the input items of the detail record (when inputting item n, add it to a 7-stem totalizer separate from the one for saving), the input value of the heading, and check for equality. Let's do it.

[Item #13] Specification of key input method For the detail record, four types of key input methods can be set. Heading and footing are class 11.

(a) Specifying the total number of digits However, the total number of digits here is the number of significant figures, and the decimal point is
’ or signature.

(b) Number of decimal places Maximum of 2 digits, if there is no decimal part, specify °00°.

(c) Input mode “0”: The number of digits is fixed and only positive integers can be input.

0-w and “　” cannot be input.

1”...Positive integers with various numbers of digits can be entered.

1-″ and “° cannot be entered.

"2"...Positive and negative integers with various numbers of digits can be entered, but decimal points "and" cannot be entered.

"3"...Various positive real numbers (17 losses) can be input, but "-2" cannot be input.

°4”...Positive and negative real numbers of various numbers of digits can be input.

(d' + Omit the numeric keypad) Specify whether or not the numeric keypad can be omitted, and if it can be omitted, specify whether it is considered to be an "O゛" input or a "B" input.Number omitted If is specified, only the end key can be input (details will be explained later).

(e) Input editing (a) Right-justifying input data 00° Align the input data to the right, and fill in the 1° shortfall in front of the specified number of input digits with zea.

(b) Left-justifying input data The input data is left-justified, and the missing part is later filled in with a filler code (one digit among HEXX "O" to "9").

(c) t switching start digit during data synthesis First, data synthesis will be explained.

When composing the data described above, specify the replacement start digit.

FIG. 14 shows an example of data synthesis for input item 2.

As shown in Figure 14, in input item 2, the classification code is entered in the top three digits and the product code is entered in the bottom five digits.This time, the five-digit number corresponding to the product code is input. If input, this product code will be combined with the previous classification code. In this case, the first digit P to be replaced with the current data (product code) is [Item #
11] is specified in the key input method.

The data (classification code and product code) synthesized in this way is input into the input field °2' of the current record.

Combining such data has the effect of making it extremely easy to input data that has some data in common.

FIG. 15 shows a data synthesis flow during data entry in execution mode.

When data entry for the 1 record is started using the numeric keypad or 1'PR, the input data is displayed on the display, and in step +01, a judgment is made as to whether or not to combine it with the previous input data. If so, other edits specified in step 102 are performed. If "YES", synthesis and editing with the previous input data is performed in step 103. This synthesis method is as described above.

Then, the data after input editing is displayed in step 104, and the composite data can be confirmed.

Further, various types of editing as described below are performed in step 105, and if the check is cleared, memory editing is performed in step 106, and the data is saved in the write buffer. This operation is done in step 1
The process is repeated until it is determined that the data entry up to the last item has been performed in step 07, and after the input of one record is completed, the input data is set in the data memory in step 108, and the process moves to data entry of the next record.

Note that when the above (b) or (c) is specified, the edited data is displayed again in the monitoring area after the input using the numeric keypad is completed.

Further, various checks on the input data are performed on the data after the input data has been edited.

[Item #14. +5] TPR method specification [[11i
If input is to be completed with one scan, specify the input method in item #14; if input is to be completed with multiple scans, specify the input method in item #15.

The designation is basically the following TPR person catheter (first
This is done by specifying the number (JOB#) in Table 2).

Specifically, with reference to Table 12, the number of digits to be read, the starting digit position of valid data, the presence or absence of a classification code of valid data, the classification code in the case of a, and the type of barcode (NW-
7, JAN (8, l 3 digits).

2 out of 5.1NTERLEAVED 2
outof5), check digit table number
.

Specify denormal values such as “-”, °+”, and “,”.

For multiple scans, specify input end conditions.

The input termination conditions are: * When there is a TPR input other than the specified number of read digits of 1 category, or when there is a kill input.

*O~9. TI other than ``°,'') When there is n input (``-° is considered as negative data, and other times are considered as positive data.)

<C/D counting method for data including symbols such as decimal points> In order to prevent barcode reading errors, a C/D check is performed on the read data. Similarly, when inputting data using the numeric keypad, a C/D check is performed to prevent numeric input errors.

However, C/D calculations can usually only handle integers. However, when the data includes a decimal point or + or - symbols, C/D calculation cannot be performed as is. Therefore, numbers from 0 to 99 are set in advance for the decimal point and + and - symbols, and when performing C/D calculations, the set numbers can be used instead of the symbols. It is. By doing so, it is possible to calculate C/D for data including symbols other than numbers.

The specification method in this case is shown in item #“03” on the TPR input table shown in Table 12.

In this item #“03°, the types of barcodes mentioned above,
In addition to specifying the type of C/D, the °-'' symbol.

Assign any two-digit value 00 to 99 to the "+° symbol and decimal point symbol °,". In other words, convert these symbols into appropriate numerical values. In this way, the C/D check can be performed on all real numbers including integers with plus and minus signs and decimal points.

Now, the operation flow of the C/D check, which is not shown in FIG. 17, will be specifically explained.

In step 101, from i"PR, for example, "-12
34, 67" is input, it is determined in step 102 whether or not to perform a C/D check for this input item. If the C/D check is to be performed, step 10 is performed.
3-゛, ``,'' are specified denmal values for these, e.g.

“Replace with 3V.

Therefore, the C/D calculation in step 104 is '
+112343167'', and the calculation result and C/D are checked for equality in step 106. If they are not equal, an error is displayed.

In the above example, we explained the case where "°", "°-", and "decimal point" are included, but for example, "¥" representing Japanese yen is explained.
The above idea can be extended to other symbols such as .

In addition to the various functions clarified in the explanation of the setting method above,
This data terminal device can selectively set various functions.

The main functions will be explained by function below.

Setting data error check> In order to execute multiple types of business programs, that is, multiple types of application specifications, from a single program, this device sets various parameters and operates the program according to the set parameters. The basic feature is that

Therefore, if the set parameters change due to some reason such as noise or malfunction, malfunction will naturally occur, and in extreme cases, the system will go out of control. Therefore, the reliability of the λ parameter is required to be equivalent to that of the program.

By the way, conventionally, for the program section,
Checks such as sum checks are performed, but no checks are performed on the parameter section.

From this point of view, the present invention prevents equipment malfunctions by checking the parameter section in the same way as the program section.

This method of checking the parameter section is characteristically shown in FIG.

In the program routine, various parameters are sequentially set, and when the settings are completed, the power switch is normally turned off as if the program setting mode has been completed.

Triggered by the OFF operation of the power switch (the parameter setting end key may be turned ON), the P-OFF routine 1) OR is executed.

In this FOR, a check code such as a check sum code is calculated for the parameter section in which the set parameters are stored, and is set in a predetermined memory area.

Then, in order to execute the business program set by the parameter settings, when the power switch is turned on or the function key to start the application program is pressed, first, as shown in FIG.
After determining whether the program is loaded, the next step is a sum check.

In this sum check, a sum check is performed for both the program and the aforementioned parameters. Therefore, if not only the program but also the parameter section is corrupted for some reason, a sum check error will be displayed and the execution of the program will be stopped. In this case, in the parameter setting mode, necessary checks can be performed on the setting parameters again, for example, by sequentially displaying the stored setting parameters and comparing them with the setting data table.

In this way, not only the program section but also the parameter section can be checked, so that garbled setting parameters can be discovered before they occur, and the business program can always be executed correctly.

<Decimal point memory selection> The data sent to the data terminal may be an integer or a ¥ number. Furthermore, even real numbers can be variable-point data or fixed-point data.

When storing these data, variable point data requires storage of decimal point data, but integer or fixed point data does not necessarily require storage of decimal point data. On the other hand, when considering the case where data is processed by connecting to a rear processor, it may be easier to process data if it is stored as decimal point data, even if it is integer or fixed point data. The necessity of memorizing the decimal point varies depending on various conditions. Therefore, you can freely store the decimal point (F
The purpose of <Decimal point memory selection> is to enable setting of lli and to be able to respond according to the situation.

Another purpose is to save memory by omitting unnecessary data.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the execution mode, when a job selection operation is performed in step 101 and a data entry job is selected, a business program corresponding to the data entry job is called in step 102, and in step +03. Data input using the numeric keypad or TPrt at step 104 is executed.

In step +05, it is determined whether or not to store the data based on the decimal point. If NO, the input data is edited using another specified editing method such as left-justification, right-justification, etc., and is stored.

On the other hand, if YES, it is determined in step 107 whether or not to store the decimal point, and if it is specified to store the decimal point, the data is stored with the decimal point added in step 108. Furthermore, if it is specified that the decimal point is not to be stored, the data is stored without the decimal point.

As mentioned above, Step 2 PuIQ13. iQ$1. jn9
If the input data is stored in any one of the steps, it is determined in step 110 whether the data entry is completed or not.
If it is not finished, go to step 10 again.
3 or perform data input in step 104.

Further, if it is determined that the data entry has been completed, this data entry operation is completed and the necessary subsequent operations are performed.

In the above program, for example, "12" is pressed using the numeric keypad.
