HID to USB to Excel
« on: February 05, 2013, 09:29:53 pm »
Greetings
Can someone send me the link to software that I can use to write, for putting a suffix on the barcode reads as they come thru from several readers.  Readers are HID already.  Just need to suffix or prefix so Excel can identify which of the readers was used.  I need to set up a form to allocate suffix to each reader.
Thankyou

If the barcode reader enumerates as a keyboard, use Raw Input to read the data, then add the prefix and write to an Excel file.
