Simulating Handheld Scanner for NW Mobile Client

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we are developing a handheld transaction using NW Mobile 7.1 and the NW Mobile Client. The handheld transaction will be using handheld scanning functionality to input data into input fields (e.g. scan the material number). To test the scanning specific logic we would have to load the transaction onto the handheld to verify the logic works. We would have to do this for every change we do which is very time consuming and cumbersome.

Does SAP (or anybody else) provide a scanning simulator that can be used with the NWDS while the transaction is being developed (like you can simulate the transaction in the NWDS simulator). Would there be any specific hardware or software required?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Wolfgang,

Just follow the path in the link mentioned in my last reply.

Peripheral Input/Output Services-> Peripheral Support Emulator Actions -> Peripheral Input/Output Emulator -> Scanner Peripheral Panel.

You need to create the barcode data to be used.

Then when running they just need to press the scan barcode button in the toolbar.

A scan event will be triggered returning the selected barcode data to the application.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

To add to what abhijeet said, SAP does not provide any scanner simulator which can be used with the NWDS handheld simulator.

Such simulator iff provided are given by the device manufacturers only.

Otherwise you need to test on the actual PDA/device itself.

Hi Wolfgang,

Please refer to following link.

You can use the PIOS Emulator for testing the scanning functionality also.

Thanks & Regards,
