IMAQ Read Barcode.vi

[krispiekream]

Does anyone have documents or information on the algorithms used from IMAQ REad BArcode.vi?

I need to write a report about my project and I dont know how the VI decode the barcode.

Is there anyway I can find out?

Hi krispiekream,

I can't tell you specifics, but you can expect with any 1D barcode that it's doing edge detection across it and measuring the distances. The distances and thickness of lines specify characters. I'd recommend a search through Wikipedia as to the different barcode types listed in the help for that VI.
