IDA commands
IDA commands are used to invoke a device action or program action by the Velocity Client. These values can be specified in many of the special META tags, as URLs for the user to click on, or called inside JavaScript functions.
For example:
<a href="ida:IDA_SCAN_ENABLE">Enable the scanner</a>
It is strongly recommended that each IDA command be preceded by the IDA prefix. However, on some devices the command may work without the prefix.
The following are IDA commands supported by the Velocity Client:
|
IDA_BEEP |
Causes the device to emit a standard beep (single tone). |
|
IDA_ERROR_BEEP |
Causes the device to emit an error beep (usually two tones). |
|
IDA_SCAN_DISABLE |
Disables the bar code scanner. When the bar code scanner is disabled, pressing the mobile device trigger will have no effect. |
|
IDA_SCAN_ENABLE |
Enables the bar code scanner. The bar code scanner will not scan for bar codes unless the mobile device trigger is pulled. You can use the META tag OnStartup with an action of IDA_SCAN_ENABLE or IDA_SCAN_DISABLE to change the scanner state only when the page is first loaded. |
|
IDA_SESSION_DISCONNECT |
Disconnects the session. |
|
IDA_SESSION_DISCONNECT_PROMPT |
Uses a prompt to ask the user if they want to disconnect. |
|
IDA_BACK_ENABLE |
Enables the Back menu option. |
|
IDA_BACK_DISABLE |
Disables the Back menu option. |
|
IDA_FORWARD_ENABLE |
Enables the Forward menu option. |
|
IDA_FORWARD_DISABLE |
Disables the Forward menu option. |
|
IDA_HOME_ENABLE |
Enables the Home menu option. |
|
IDA_HOME_DISABLE |
