(b) Range check This range check, for example, checks the lower limit value and upper 1111' value of the input amount, so for the combination of F, limit value and lower limit value, for example +oJ
It can be specified from the range table (01 to 10). For one item, if there is no other check designation (for example, month/day check, etc.), this check can be performed on a maximum of five types of checks, and in that case, 10R'' is performed for each type. Only valid figures are checked; signs and decimal points are ignored.

Table 5 shows the above range table.

(C) Check digit [C/D check for C/Dl check input item. C/D checks can be performed by adding other items to the beginning of input items.

As a weight, “l+ nt* l+3+ 14+
FIG. 11 shows the weight cutting method when n is specified.

Furthermore, the content of the C/D check can be specified at most 6F1 types from the C/D table shown in Table 6.

The parameters that can 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 input data of vJ stage setting memory and data stored in initial setting memory are verified.

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

The system totalizer value (total value) that calculated the total is
Cleared when this check is completed.

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

(f) Mask 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.

Note that FIG. 13 shows the structure of the mask file.

(f-1) Specifications at the time of searching and checking master data include specifying key data in input data and specifying the format of mask registration memory.

(r-2) l'Fy is the specified input data key,
Search from the beginning of the detail record group in the master registration memory.

(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 will be turned off with the GE key among the funkshijin keys, and this item will be entered again.

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

(σ) When the data is in the master registration memory, the MAXIO item among the master data items is displayed on the liquid crystal display 11. The displayed contents are 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 each line (1 digit, 1 digit) to be displayed for each item.

When the line designation is set to "O", 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 Tables 1 and 0, respectively.

In Table 1 θ, the editing specifications at the time of display are as follows.

”0°...No editing - Displays the image in memory as is.

1゛...Suppress leading zeros and display only the a effective digits in memory.

“2°...Display with surface zero suppressed to the first decimal place.

“3”: Display with leading zeros suppressed 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 mask data search check will be explained later in the <Master file function> section.

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

Similar to the detail record memory search function, input data (positive integer) is edited in the same way as the memory format, and using this as a key, the current t of the data registration memory (search from the beginning of the same detail record that is being input) do.

(b) Displays the contents of the searched detail record when it has already been entered and sounds a high-pitched buzzer. The display is the same as the input weight of 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 does not divide nl 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 #12J Mesori Editing Method The designation method for the ring memory editing method differs depending on the type of hepudding, de-cheiling, and tubing, but here,
Now, the memory editing method of the detail record shown in Table 3 will be mainly explained.

(a) Memory editing method (1) "00' to "02° decimal point reference and number of decimal digits Specify the position of the decimal point in the memory (in the θ to 2 analysis, when °O'' is specified, there is no decimal point). With this specification, input data is edited based on the specified decimal point position. In this case, the overflow is cut and the shortage is filled with zeros. If there is no decimal point, edit with the right end as the decimal point.

Whether or not to store the decimal point position depends on the setting of the sostem parameter (7).

(2) Delete the last digit of "10" The last digit (C/DIti) of the input data is deleted and stored right-aligned. Cut the overflow and fill in the shortage with zero.

(3) "2n" C/D addition A C/D value is added next to the last digit of the input data and stored right-aligned. In other words, "no" specifies the item number of the C/D table (n: I to G).

In this case, the overflow is captured and the shortage is filled with zeros.

(b) Addition of other items (data synthesis) Addition of other items is a type of data synthesis, and is synthesized with input/output data of other items (heading or detail).

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

(C) System totalizer usage rate In the system, there are a total of 4 totalizers (14 digits for the integer part and 2 digits for the decimal part)
is available and can be used in the following ways.

Book 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 system totalizers are equal.

By combining these usage methods with input items, settings can be made, for example, as shown in Table 1I below.

Usable range (1) Use in heading or detail record As shown in 1st GII (a), the total is a numeric key entry item, and the input value is the sum of items 1 to n. An equality check is performed between the input value and the total value (set to Ill in the system totalizer when inputting items 1 to n) (see the section on total check).

At this time, it is not possible to input total items from the system totalizer without using the numeric keys.

(2) Specify whether to consider it as input for use in detail records and posting records. If omitting the number is specified, only the end key can be input (details will be explained later)6 (e) Input editing (a) Right-justifying input data “OO” Right-justifying input data and fills in the missing digits with leading zeros for the specified number of input digits.

(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 "0" to "9").

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

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

;I! Figure 14 shows an example of data synthesis based on 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.
? It is possible to set one input method that assumes that digits have been input. 1 for heading and footing
It is a kind.

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

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

(c) Input mode O゛...The number of digits is fixed and only positive integers can be input.

“-1” and “” cannot be entered.

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

1-” and “,” cannot be entered.

“2゛...You can input positive or negative integers with pure number of digits, but you cannot input decimal point” or “”.

"3'...Positive real numbers of various numbers of digits can be input, but "-" cannot be input.

“4°...Positive and negative real numbers of various numbers of digits can be entered.

(cl) Omit the number on the numeric keypad Whether or not the number on the numeric keypad can be omitted, and if it can be omitted, should it be regarded as an input of "θ" or "I" (see Figure 16).
As shown in b), when inputting the total of detail record input items in footing record items,
An equality check is performed between the total numeric key input value and the total value (added to the system totalizer when inputting item n).

Also, the total can be input 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 1)
, when entering the footing record, perform an equality check with the total value of the input items of the detail record (when inputting item n, add it to a system totalizer separate from the one for saving) and the input value of the heading. .

Item c #13] For the designated detail record of the key input method, the four types of keys and this product code are combined with the previous classification code. In this case, the first digit P to be replaced with the current data (product code) is specified in the key input method of [Item #11] described below.

The data (classification code and product code) synthesized in this way is input into the input field 12'' of the current record.

Such data composition is effective in that it can extremely simplify input operations for data that have some common data.

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

When the data end of the Lou code is started using the numeric keypad or TPR, the input data is displayed on the display, and in step 101, it is determined whether or not to combine it with the previous input data. other edits specified in step 102 are performed."Y
ES'', 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 checks as described below are performed at step +05, and if the checks are cleared, memory editing is performed at 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 the Lou code 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, the three types of checks on input data are performed on data after editing the input data.

[Item #I4.15] Specifying TPR method If the input is to be completed with one scan, specify the input method in item #14. If the input is to be completed with the current number of scans, specify the input method in item #15.

The specification is basically the following TPR input table (first
This is done by specifying the number (JOB#) in Table 2).

Specifically, with reference to Table 12, the number of read digits, the starting digit position of the H effect data, the effective data length, the classification code in the case of ``a'' of the 1 classification code, and the barcode seed distribution (NW-
7, JAN (8, + 3 digits).

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

- Specify the decimal value of ", °1", °, ", etc.

The MI loss four times scan specifies the input end condition.

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

*0-9. “, When there is a TPR input other than ° (°−
° is considered as negative data, other times as positive data. ).

C/D calculation method for data containing symbols such as decimal points> In order to prevent barcode reading errors, the check digit (C/D) is checked 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 θ to 99 are set in advance for the decimal point and + and - symbols, and when performing C/D calculations, the IQ is made so that 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 type of barcode mentioned above,
In addition to specifying the type of C/D, a “-” symbol.

Assign ml of the two-digit number 1+ (111-!l 9) to the °+" symbol and the decimal point symbol ",".

In other words, convert these symbols into appropriate numerical values. In this way, C/I) can be executed for all real numbers including integers with plus and minus signs and decimal points.

Now, a detailed explanation will be given according to the operational flow of the C/D check shown in Figure 17.

For example, "-1234,"
67” is input, C/D for this input item.
It is determined in step 102 whether or not to perform the check;
When performing a C/D check, in step 103 “
−,°,” to the decimal value specified for them, e.g. “11°.

“Replace with 3V.

Therefore, the C/D calculation in step 104 is “
I I 12343167'', 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, "
The above idea can be extended to other symbols such as ¥.

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

<Automatic addition function of business classification code> Inventory work 1 ordering work using data terminal machine.

When performing various data entry operations such as inventory operations, a task classification code representing the type thereof is automatically written into a data memory. The timing to write this code is when the data entry business key is pressed.

This code allows the host machine to easily determine the data type when the host machine receives and processes data entered using the business classification code.

The number of digits and contents of the business classification code are set in the setting mode.

For this reason, when performing various data entries with the data terminal machine, it is possible to set whether or not to write the service classification code representing the type of data entry work into the data memory.

When writing, the number of digits (length) can be set arbitrarily. This parameter setting is shown in Table 13, but JOB# “0001” is used to set the parameters of the entire system.
Do this in the second column from the bottom of item #.

The content of the business classification code can be arbitrarily set for each data entry business hi by the set number of digits 3.
In this case, the parameters of the job classification code are determined in item #08 of JOB #4101 shown in Table 14. When the data entry business key is pressed, the corresponding business classification code is automatically added to the data memory.

By using this II ability, 11 different types of class II
It is possible to mix and store entry data in the data memory.

(1) How to set the business classification code (a) Setting the number of digits for the business classification code If you do not need the automatic addition function of the business classification code, “
If 0° is required, any one digit from "1 to 8" is set as necessary.

(b) Setting the i-duty classification code The business classification code must be within the number of digits set in (b) above.
Set by specifying a code that concisely represents the content of the business.

(2) Processing method (execution mode) FIG. 18 shows the processing flow of the above business classification code.

Now, when one of the data entry jobs is selected in step 101, it is determined in step 102 whether or not there is a business category code, and if the business category code is a, the corresponding business category code is set in the memory in step 103. do. Therefore, at this stage, the business classification code will be automatically added to the beginning of the data to be entered in the data entry business below.

Next, in step +04, data related to the business is sequentially input, and the entered data is set in the memory in units of records. The data entry in step 104 will be executed until it is determined in step 105 that the data entry has ended.

Furthermore, if no business classification code is specified, step 103 is skipped and data entry is performed in step +04.

When the data entry for the job is completed, the next job, for example, the data output job to the host machine, is started.

When this data output task is designated in step 106, the entry data stored in the data memory is output to the host machine in step 107 by the above-described transmission function. If a business classification code is set, the business classification code at the beginning of the end-rep is output as is when outputting this data, making it easier for the host machine to determine the business related to the input data. , which is advantageous for data organization.

When the data output task is completed, memory clear is specified in step +08, and the data on the data memory is cleared in step 109.

When this series of processing is completed, in step 110, the ms
is turned off.
