Datawedge 3.3

Posted By admin  On 30.03.21

  • Added option in the Fishbowl Go Plugin to create Zebra DataWedge profile. 4.9.3 - 2020-09-24. Fixed: Some barcode types were not scanning via the Camera Scanner. Fixed: Changes made to the 'Fishbowl Go' DataWedge profile will not reset barcode decoders if changes are made after creation. 4.9.2 - 2020-09-15. Fixed: General fixes and stability.
  • I setup MC9190's with software on a regular basis but one came through where the DataWedge 3.3 software is not giving me an option to use a PDF417 decoder. I can't figure out how to add this decoder or why it's missing in the first place. I have two other devices of the same model that have DataWedge 3.6 on them and have the PDF417 option.
  1. Datawedge 3.3
  2. Motorola Datawedge 3.3

DataWedge V3.3.19. Download this latest version - it has bug fixes and improvements over V3.2.4. DataWedge V3.2.4. Recommended for use with the latest Motorola terminals like the MC55, MC75, MC3100 and MC9500K. Please note that when DataWedge is running the camera will not work. You have to stop DataWedge to be able to take pictures or video. IP Input Plug-in is a third party input plug-in for use with DataWedge Toolkit. It enables DataWedge to receive data from remote client applications over an IP network and deliver that data to the foreground application. The IP Input plug-in can act as a TCP or UDP server.

DataWedge Demo Apps

DataWedge features can be demonstrated and tested using:

Datawedge 3.3
  • DWDemo - included with all Zebra devices, documented below
  • DataWedge API Sample app - downloadable app shows how to use DataWedge APIs.
  • Kitchen Sink app - downloadable, customizable app documented on download page
  • Sample Intent app - downloadable app shows how to receive scanned barcode data via an intent.
Datawedge

DWDemo shows how data is acquired by an application using the DataWedge service. A DataWedge Profile called 'DWDemo' is installed along with DataWedge and associated with the demo app. Disabled by default, the Profile can be modified as needed for testing and demo purposes. Once the demo Profile is enabled (see below), pressing the app's Scan button or a device trigger initiates a barcode scan and decoded data is displayed on the screen. The DWDemo app supports scanning with the imager, camera, Bluetooth device or a magstripe reader (MSR), if one is connected.

This guide requires a working knowledge of DataWedge Profiles. For more information about Profile settings, see the DataWedge Setup Guide.

The DWDemo app provides a menu of available scanning input devices, making it easy to switch from one to another for testing purposes. This and other DataWedge settings and preferences also can be configured in the DWDemo Profile, shown below. For information about Profile settings, see the DataWedge Setup Guide.

Device controls (from left to right):

  • Lightning Bolt - toggles the Camera Flash on and off (active when Camera is selected); controls illumination mode for other devices.
  • Input Device - permits selection of Camera, Scanner or Bluetooth device (if no Bluetooth device is connected, selecting Bluetooth will attempt to pair).
  • Camera input type - toggles between image and barcode data capture (active when Camera is selected; varies by device).
  • DWDemo 'hamburger' menu - invokes 'About' panel and DWDemo Profile (see below).

DWDemo Settings


DWDemo's 'hamburger' menu (above) provides access to 'Settings,' which invoke the DWDemo Profile screen (below).

To activate scanning in the DWDemo app, the 'Profile enabled' checkbox must be checked (as shown). Additional settings can be changed as required.


To perform a test scan, tap the orange Scan button or press the device Scan trigger while pointing at an object to be scanned.

Acquired data appears in the window, as below.

By making changes in the DWdemo Profile, the DWDemo app can be used to test different decoders, rules for processing acquired data and other DataWedge configuration variations. For information about changing Profile settings, see Managing Profiles.
