If you want to add timestamp (time and date) to XTIOT barcode scanning device, you usually need to follow certain configuration steps and technical implementations. Here is a general process description, the specific operation may vary depending on the device model and manufacturer. Here are the general steps:

1. Built-in Clock and Time Synchronization

Make sure the scanning device has a built-in real-time clock (RTC).

Regularly synchronize the time with the server through the network or other means to maintain the accuracy of the time.

2. Configure the Timestamp Function

Most modern barcode scanners allow the timestamp function to be enabled through the settings menu or command.

You may need to scan a specific configuration barcode or use the accompanying configuration software to set it up.

3. Data Formatting

The device may automatically insert a timestamp in the scanned data, usually in a preset format.

The timestamp format may be fixed, such as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, or it can be customized.

4. Application Integration

If the scanner is connected to a computer or other device, you need to ensure that the application receiving the data can correctly parse the timestamp.

You may need to write a script or use specialized software to process the received data stream.

5. Test and Verify

Before deployment, you need to test the accuracy of the timestamp and the reliability of data transmission.

You can simulate different scanning scenarios to ensure that everything works properly.

① Sample Configuration Steps

The following is a simplified sample configuration process for reference only:

② Connect the scanner:

Connect the scanner to a computer or other terminal device via USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi.

③ Access the configuration tool:

Access the scanner's configuration interface using the manufacturer's software or by scanning a specific configuration barcode.

④ Enable the timestamp function:

Look for related settings such as "Time Stamp" or "Timestamping" and enable the function.

⑤ Set the time format:

Select or set the format of the timestamp as needed, such as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS".

⑥ Save the configuration:

Save all changes and exit the configuration mode.

⑦ Test the timestamp:

Scan a few barcodes and check whether the timestamp is correctly attached to the data.
