Description
The app can be configured to convert custom barcodes formats to GS1.
Global converters defindes in start.cfg will be active in the entire app, all the time.
So make sure to use it for identifiable barcodes i.e. with fixed lengths, to ensure the converter will only be triggered when intended.
Local converters can be made in application.cfg
Example: A custom barcode broken into four AI's
Different positions of a barcode value, is broken into several "AI". See table below.
Start.cfg

</converter>
