I want to insert data read from RFID device or barcode device

Dears,

I have an RFID device which is connected to my PC via USB or bluetooth. You can consider it as an input device like barcode scanner which scan the data and make carriage return but it is too fast. There is a log that includes all the read tags separated by carriage return. Now I want to take these tags one by one and insert each tag in a single record in a table. I tried to make an event handler on the tag form field to lookup the data and create a new record for the next tag. It somehow worked but there is a big chance of misreading. Do you have any x++ code to read from input stream or input device? Or is there any other way to solve this issue?

Regards,

Hi Ahmad,

In case the current option is not being able to act quickly enough, have you considered an asynchronous interface where data will be "imported" into Dynamics 365? What is the exact process where you need scanning and why is it quicker than Dynamics 365 can respond?

I want to insert data read from RFID device or barcode device

Hi Andre,

There is a software based on Windows that converts UHF transponder reads from UHF readers into keyboard presses. It is reading fine for me like any input device. The problem it is reading fast. I put an event handler in Dynamics 365 form field, when the value is entered, it will store it and make a new record with setting the focus on the Tag field. The fastness of reading the data will not make the event handler respond quickly. So, some data are misread. Is there anyway to read from fast input device and fill the form grid with the inputs.

Hope this can convey the message clearly.

Hi Ahmad,

Can you tell us more about how you currently process the tag log? What exactly do you mean by an event handler on the tag form field to look up the data? What exact business process are you trying to solve here?
