Combine with Datetime:

Check: The combined string exists of Serialnumber + Date Time or vice versa.

X-based numbering system:

Activate: Allows to define a user defined base for the display of the Serialnumber.

Base: Base of numbering system, accepts values from 2 up to 36. Base 2 means binary, base 10 means decimal system and for a hexadecimal system the base is 16.

Reset Date Time: If activated the serial number will be reset after a defined amount of time. The first reset will be at the specified Reset Start Time. The following resets will be repeated after the defined Period. This reset does only affect the serial number for which it is defined.

Popup edit box: The Barcode reader mode can be activated. Please refer to "Barcode Reader".

Reset on time shift change: The serial number is reset whenever a shift defined in the Shift Map changes. This reset does only affect the serial number for which it is defined.

note

The format of each element, the Serialnumber and Date Time, can be edited afterwards. Therefore Custom Format in the Serialnumber property page needs to be checked. A combined Serialnumber and Date Time element can also be displayed as a barcode. However, not each Date Time format can be converted to a adequate barcode. For example the signs ".", ":" and "/" are not taken!

note

The digit definitions of Customer Format are not taken for a x-based numbering system.
