Read Data Matrix Codes in Images
Use the Data Matrix Reader step to decode a Data Matrix code.
Main Tab
- In the Step Name control, enter a descriptive name for the step.
- Verify that the Reposition Region of Interest option is enabled if you want to link the region of interest specified in this step to a previously defined coordinate system.
Link the region of interest to a coordinate system if the position of the object under inspection changes from image to image, and you need to adjust the position of the region of interest to match the new location of the object.
Basic Tab
Set the controls to specify the shape of the matrix and to improve the performance of the step. Enable the Suggest Value? checkbox if you want the step to suggest values for the controls when you click the Suggest Values button.
Search Tab
Set the controls on the Search tab. Enable the Suggest Value? checkbox if you want the step to suggest values for the controls when you click the Suggest Values button.
Cell Sampling Tab
Set the controls on the Cell Sampling tab if the step cannot consistently read the matrix because of variations in lighting or matrix quality. Otherwise, use the default values for the controls on this tab.
Grading Tab
Enable the Grading control if you want the step to return AIM grading metrics for your matrices. If you do not need grading information for your application, disable the Grading control to decrease the amount of time the step takes to complete.
The decoded characters read during the step are shown in the Code Read box.
