Initial counter<br />
value<br />
Increment<br />
Interval (plates)<br />
Description<br />
The number to start counting from.<br />
For example, if there is a constant with the value<br />
ABC followed by an initial counter value of 0001, the<br />
output is ABC0001, ABC0002...ABC0010.<br />
If you enter 000001 for the initial counter value, the<br />
output is ABC000001, ABC000002...ABC000010.<br />
The amount by which the initial value increases<br />
according to the interval.<br />
How many plates must be processed before the<br />
initial counter value is increased.<br />
To generate the following sequence, use a combination of Prefix<br />
(DDR-), Initial counter value (0000151), and Suffix (-01). Also use an<br />
Increment of 1 and a Base of 10:<br />
DDR-0000151-01, DDR-0000152-01, DDR-0000153-01...<br />
6. Click in the white space to apply these changes.<br />
PlateTag immediately recognizes the addition of the new counter.<br />
The counter’s name can now be added to the Label Field Data group<br />
box of the Label Editor page of VCode Diagnostics.<br />
