The item (or event) is read using a standard barcode scanner with a keyboard wedge. The application logs the event and fixes the exact standard time in the log. The  printer prints out a label using a custom label template and fills in the dynamic information including barcode, date and time.

Data collection
Data collection principally involves the use of handheld scanners to collect data for transfer to the scientific or logistics system. Normally the data is collected then entered into the system in a batch.  Import routines can be easily written for DocuLog to extend the above example for your specific requirements.

Time Base Options

• Native computer time - events are normally stamped with the local computer time and date.

• Corrected computer time (NIST) - when used with ClockWatch, the logger stamps a date and time traceable back to the Atomic Clock.

• Time offset from standard time - a time offset option lets you stamp a time that is ahead or behind actual time.

• ClockCard based time - instead of using the computer operating system time, DocuLog can access the precision real-time clock on ClockCard, a card with microsecond resolution. This gives you the ability to precisely time events.

Printing
DocuLog has the ability to print on your regular Windows printer, the DocuClock printer or a label printer. Fields can be added or removed from any form, text can be entered, lines, logos and pictures can also be inserted.  With the appropriate printer and/or installed fonts barcodes can also be printed.

Flexible - prints a variety of messages, barcodes date or time stamps.

Precise - Every transaction is time-stamped and recorded for
later review.  Records the exact time the item was scanned makes a record in a file,

Adaptable - Runs as a stand-alone system, or communicates with enterprise system. Integrates easily into most office or data tracking systems.
