text: <s>[INST] I have a USB barcode scanner plugged into a PanelView Plus 7 Series B. With the CE Panelview's we had a custom ActiveX that would write the scanner data directly into a tag without opening the keyboard of a string Input Enable. This ActiveX will not work on the Series B PanelViews. I was hoping that I could just use an ActiveX Macro 10 to move the data, but so far not working. I am not sure of the complete path of the PV USB port. Has anyone done this? [/INST] I have gone a different route where I have setup the scanner to send F1 and have made a Key Assignment to the String Input Enable to open with F1. I have to scan the barcode once to open the keyboard and then scan again to fill the data. I am thinking that Zebra or Honeywell can make me a custom barcode will configure the scanner to do both with only 1 trigger.\n </s>
