The device gets enumerated as a USB HID device

Through groov view, if I add a text box, and tap on it, I can scan the barcode and the number appears as a text input as if we typed it in.
But this approach requires the operator to click on the text box every time they want to scan barcode
Is there are way to add the barcode scanner in codesys and make it update a tag? I am new to codesys and would appreciate any support
