This allows us to subscribe to hardware events such as a Scanner.DataEvent. In this DataEvent you could then add your logic to assign the ScannerData to whatever field you want. You should also be able to configure the scanner on what type of barcodes you can scan. Hopefully, the part number and serial number us different barcode symbologies.
