Does anyone here have a VI for Keyence SR-610 2D Barcode Scanner?

Does anyone here have a VI for Keyence SR-610 2D Barcode Scanner?

 

Any information on how to read and interpret the data from the scanner would be very helpful.

 

thank you

Have you tried using the device?  Many barcode scanners that are USB appear to Windows as a USB keyboard.  And when a barcode is scanned it will just "type" the characters of the barcode, usually followed by a return.

 

Just open notepad and put your cursor in it and scan a barcode.  It will likely show you what it says.  Now how do you interface this with LabVIEW?  The easiest way is to have a string control that has keyfocus, and a boolean that gets toggled when the enter key is pressed using the key navigation options.  Then when a barcode is scanned, it will type it in, and press enter.  Look for the value change on the boolean and read the string.  

 

If it doesn't work this way you will liklely need to read many manuals on the device and read the data using VISA.

I believe the sum total of the LabVIEW driver would be to init a VISA:Sreial:Istruument session with the correct COM port settings and a VISA read in a loop whenever Bytes at port is !=0.
