When adding new entries to the table, you'll be presented with this dialog:

 

Lookuptableadd

 

Data In

This value represents what you want to search for. Wildcard characters can be used.

 

Data Out

This value represents what you want to replace the text with.

 

For example, if we had a 'Data In' value of oranges and a 'Data Out' value of bananas, the program would replace any instance of the word oranges with the word bananas.

 

To provide a more practical example, let's use the example from the GetSerial - Settings - Message section of the documentation and say that we needed to translate 84.31 in to Building 14, Floor 3, Room 6. You would use a 'Data In' value of 84.31 and a 'Data Out' value of Building 14, Floor 3, Room 6. As another example, let's say you wanted to translate N773 in to Service contract Norwood, Account 773. You would use a 'Data In' value of N773 and a 'Data Out' value of Service contract Norwood, Account 773.
