Using Software to Read Barcode
All the inspection Images on the AOIs can be used to read barcode code.
Using software can sometimes eliminate the need of using a separated
barcode reader to read barcode on the PCB for tracking purposes. Moreover
Image barcode is more automated than using the hand held barcode reader.
However, there are some limitations. First, the entire barcode label must be
small enough to fit into the field of view of the Image. Secondly, the barcode to
be read must face up so that Image can see. Thirdly, current software (version
1277) can only read:
1. Code 39
2. Interleaved 2 of 5 code
3. DataMatrix code
4. EAN13 code
5. Code 128.
Despite the limitations, Image code is tremendously convenient and well
integrated with the rest of the software. If the barcode size is the only
limitation, it is advisable to purchase additional Image and lens for the
purpose of reading the barcode. The AOIs can normally accommodate up to 4
Images.
To use the Image barcode, users need to ensure the barcode.dll is loaded as
an extension DLL.
