Can IMAQ Vision decode 128c barcode

[jeffalex]

Looked through the examples for barcodes, and it appears that there is a barcode "decoder" vi for EAN13 (upc), are there others?

I need to decode a 128c barcode, I don't have the vision stuff yet, but the IMAQ Vision Moudle for CVI is on order.

Will this work or do I need to create my own?

I checked the list of barcodes, and code 128 is one of them. It should work fine.

Jeff,

As Bruce Ammons mentioned, your IMAQ Vision for Measurement Studio package when used on CVI will have a function on the library called "imaqReadBarcode", the parameter BarcodeType sets which Barcode are you trying to recognize. Your options are:
* CodaBar
* Code 39
* Code 93
* Code 128 (the one you are looking for)
* EAN 8
* EAN 13
* Code 25
* MSI Code
* UPC A

I hope you find this information useful. Also, you can find the previous edition manual in the web, I'm referring to the IMAQ Vision for LabWindows/CVI Reference Manual which is available for download, Chapter 18 talks about the Barcode Functions.

Good luck!
