IMAQ Read PDF417 Barcode VI

Owning Palette: Instrument ReadersInstalled With: NI Vision Development Module

Reads values encoded into a PDF417 barcode. You can compare the decoded data to a reference string or check whether the data contains a specific pattern.

Image is a reference to the source image.

ROI Descriptor is a descriptor that defines the region of interest within which the code is located. The first contour of the ROI must be a rectangle, rotated rectangle, oval, annulus, polygon, or freehand region. If the ROI descriptor is empty or not connected, the entire image is considered to be the region.

c1di32.gif

Global Rectangle contains the coordinates of the bounding rectangle.

c1dcclst.gif

Contours are each of the individual shapes that define an ROI.

cenum.gif

ID refers to whether the contour is the external or internal edge of an ROI.

cu32.gif

Type is the shape type of the contour.

c1di32.gif

Coordinates indicates the relative position of the contour.

cenum.gif

Search Mode specifies whether the VI searches for one or multiple codes. The following values are valid:

Multiple Barcodes (0)

Searches for multiple 2D barcodes.

Single Barcode, Conservative (1)

Searches for 2D barcodes using the same searching algorithm as Multiple Barcodes but stops searching after locating one valid barcode.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Image (duplicate) is the reference to the image that contains the Data Matrix code.

i1dcclst.gif

Barcodes is a cluster of information about each of the codes that the VI read.

ienum.gif

Type is the type of code.

ibool.gif

Binary indicates if the barcode contains encoded non-ASCII binary data (TRUE) or ASCII text (FALSE).

istr.gif

Data is the encoded information that the VI read.

i1dnclst.gif

Bounding Box is an array of five points that define the boundary of the code in the image.

iu32.gif

Errors Corrected is the number of erasures that the VI corrected using inherent error correction.

iu32.gif

Erasures Corrected is the number of erasures that the VI corrected using inherent error correction.

iu32.gif

Rows is the number of rows in the barcode.

iu32.gif

Columns is the number of columns in the barcode.

ii32.gif

Number of Barcodes is the number of codes that the VI detected and read.

ierrcodeclst.gif

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

istr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
