Placing barcodes on html test reports

[jvh75021]

We are using LV routines running under TestStand to create 1 page summary data sheets in html format. Now I am tasked with putting a barcode (format TBD) on these data sheets. Are there any VIs that create barcodes or do I need to call an external task to create it and then place the image on the page?

Thanks,

jvh

 One way to add a bar code image to an HTML report:

1) Determine the barcode format required

2) Find and install a font that supports the desired barcode format (for example: "Free 3 of 9 Extended")

3) Create an indicator and set it to display the installed barcode font (set Font size to make the resulting image "scanable")

4) Write the data to be "barcoded" to the indicator

5) Use the "Append Control Image to Report.vi" to insert the barcode image (from the indicator) into the HTML report
