Barcode label in Labview using Barone

Printing the Barcode in Labview is one of the problems I ran into. I
tried to Wasp ActiveX but using ActiveX I was not able to control the
line spacing between barcodes and serial numbers etc. The option I
found was with Barone software from Zebra, which was real easy to
work with.In barone software you can create the label first the way you
want, which is quite easy. After that, through labview you write a text
file with extension .PJ. In this text file you define the answers to
all the questions you defined in the Label, like serial number, part
number, barcode etc. Typical text file will look like this
Path of the label : e.g. c:/directory/label.LBL
Answer0 fro question. Number of labels?: e.g. 5
Answer1 for question. Enter part number?: e.g. for 45612321
Answer2 for question. Enter serial number?: e.g. for 45612321
etc...
Barone keeps on scanning a directory (c:/Barone/Jobs)for new file you
write into it. As soon you write the PJ file Barone reads it and prints
the label. You can define directory scanning time from the software
itself and after reading the file it deletes the file. Barone should be
running in the background for this feature to work.
In nutshell, a label can be printed via a file, which labview can create dynamicaly from the user information.
If anyone knows a better software that works with Labview and have better control on formatting, please let me know.
Thanks

KC,
Definately, you can print directly to the printer from LV. But the
problem I ran into was I could not control the spacing between two
lines or in other words I have no control on X and Y coordinates of the
text loaction on the label. That makes the job harder if you want to
squeeze more information on the label. To print reports etc LV is
fine. I am using Zebra 150si.
Thanks

Code for capturing values from BARCODE Label using Scanner into SAP FIelds

Hi Gurus
i am a functional consultant and have not worked on BARCode label Scanning using a barcode Scanner, For my project i need to Sccan a BArcode label which has 25 fields and need to populate it into 16 SAP fields.
and these values are then saved in a custom Z table from whwre it can be used for other t-codes and reports
So can anyone please help me as to how to do this and is there any steps for uplaoding this data directly while scanning the label??
Thanks in advance for your help and appreciate your responses
Regards

Hi,
There were tools and method by which we can read barcode data.
Can you please let me know what is the instrument you are using and whether it was integrated with SAP or not?.. If not you can as barcode reader manufacturer for some executable files for to read the current value of barcode. By executing those files we can read the current value of Barcode into SAP through some function modules.
Thanks,

BarTender for Zebra Barcode Label printing using Smartform

HI Experts,
Does anyone know how to use BarTender 7.10 software to create barcode labels for Zebra printer?
I have to include a jpg Logo into the Label using BarTender.
But when I test using the Zebra printer - the logo/picture won't print out.
Any idea?
Thank You.
Best Regards,
CW

Hi There,
I had problems with using Bartender when I tried to print a logo onto my labels, but I contacted a [labelling company |www.iidsolutions.net] who specialise in barcode label printing and the bartender software, they sorted out my problem but then after a chat with them I decided it would be easier to get them to print the labels for me as I had loads of changes and they were quite cheap. See if they can help you. :~)
Good luck.

Create barcode labels in the background, immediately creating the MIGO

Dear all
I'm interested to create barcode labels in the background, immediately after creating the MIGO.
1. Is there any standard program that I can integrate my code that sends data to SMARTFORM?
2. Is there a BAPI that gets, in the background, the data created in MIGO? Without knowing the number of document?
3. Is it possible to print the barcode labels as print the document? But another special printer?
4. What program and routine form I write transaction M706?
I'd appriciate to get some help.
Thank you.
Best Regards
judee.

You can create an output record to generate labels immediately after a MIGO transaction has posted. Your ABAP team can copy the standard program and may be able to use the same routine that is curretnly asssigned to output type WE01, WE02, or WE03 (for Receipts), or WA01 - WA03 (for Issues). You can also identify a smart-form label in the processing routine for the movement type in config. because the output record is created automatically after the MIGO is posted, and contains all of the MIGO data, including material doc number.
SPRO path: Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Output Determination
- Maintain Output Types
- Maintain Output Determination Procedures 
You can also have that output print to a specific printer via SPRO path: Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Printer Determination

How Programmatically Creating a Free Label in LabVIEW

Not with the stock LabVIEW. If you have a license to use scripting then you can do it that way.

MIGO creating New Smartform for BARCODE label

Hi ,
Creating a new smartforms form MIGO Tcode --- i.e. BARCODE LABEL. - From scrach
Input is P.O No. but while writing program from where I have to take input for this ....?
After writing logic where to attach driver program in NACE. ?
Tks:
Maddy

HI ,
As suggested you can use the standard smartform , by downloading the package or else you can go for your own smartform and print program do it as follows :
for Po the standrd program uses the form entry_neu . you call this form in your custom driver program . say in ZPOUCHASE ORDER
form entry_neu using ent_retco type sy-subrc
                               ent_screen type c.
perform get_data.
*****" here get the po number from nast table like this " move nast-objky(10) to g_ebeln." ******
perform get_formname.
get it like this : select single sform
    from tnapr
    into tnapr-sform
   where kschl = nast-kschl " Output Type
     and nacha = nast-nacha " Message transmission
     and kappl = nast-kappl." Application
if sy-subrc = 0.
    g_formname = tnapr-sform.
endif.*********************************
perform zcallform.
use call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' **************
perform zupdatenakt.
do it like this **********
nast-vstat = 1.
nast-usnam = sy-uname.
nast-datvr = sy-datum.
nast-uhrvr = sy-uzeit.
call function 'RV_MESSAGE_UPDATE_SINGLE'
    exporting
      msg_nast = nast.
endform.
assign this driver program in NACE transaction along with the smartform name
*****Please use the proper    condition type. NEU in this case "
and since you are getting the value of PO number from nast you can pass this as importing parameter to your custom smart form
and once the po number is known the other values can be easily extracted

Missing barcode label in iMac G4- i need that EEE code!

I need to replace the logic board on my G4 iMac. On the board I can find the part number and an empty box etched with the words 'barcode label'. Is it possible that my logic board has no serial number? Or has a lazy technician in my past tossed it out? How do I find out what part I need? The logic board part number 820-1501-A, the iMac serial number is W8***NHX. I would appreciate any help on this one. Thanks.

Hey John,
It's possible there's a problem with the PMU. Not sure how the PMU works in these iMac G4s. I do see a block diagram for the iMac Flat Panel 700 and 800 but none for the 1 GHz. In that block diagram the PMU inputs to something called the Panges memory controller and I/O device controller. So a lot of things run through this chip including ATA, wireless LAN USB, Firewire , Ethernet....
You might run through these voltage checks from the manual:
"4. Remove keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals such as speakers.
5. Disconnect the power cord, place the computer in the service stand, and remove the user access
plate.
6. Reset PMU. Refer to “Resetting the PMU on the Logic Board” mentioned earlier in this chapter.
7. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage on the battery test point (see graphic below). If the reading is over
3.5 volts, go to the next step. If the reading is under 3.5 volts, replace the battery and test again.
8. Plug the unit in, but do NOT press the power button. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage from the test
point marked “12VSLP” (see graphic above). You should get a reading of approximately 12 volts. If the
reading is 12 volts, go to the next step. If you don’t get a 12 volt reading, go to step 11.
9. Press the power switch on the computer. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage on the test point marked
“12V” (see graphic above). You should get a reading of approximately 12 volts. If the reading is 12
volts, go to the next step. If you do not get a 12 volt reading, replace the main logic board.
10. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage on the test point marked “5V” (see graphic above). You should get
a reading of approximately 5 volts. If the reading is 5 volts, go to the next step. If you do not get a 5 volt reading, replace the main logic board."
Those test points are under the user access panel on the bottom near the PMU button that you've already found. They're in the form of an "L" that faces to the left. Close to the apex is the ground point the tip of the lower leg being the battery test point and the tall upright being:
5 V
12 VSLP
!2 V
from top to bottom.
If you have more questions email me.

XML Publisher for Barcode Labels?

Is anyone using XML Publisher to print barcode labels (not barcodes on letter or A4-sized report pages)?
If YES, do you have any tips or a brief description of how you did this?

Hi Eric
WE have a customer working toward going live ... Im trying to get some details down about how they did it for a blog article. Until then basically:
1. Create a label template in MSWord, create customer page size to match your barcode lable paper. Use the barcode font in the template.
2. Get your data source, if you use WMS then they already pump XML out for labels. Otherwise you'll have to use another method to get the data ... as its a small amount plsql would suffice
3. Deploy template and barcode font to mid tier
4. At runtime XMLP will generate PDF ... and heres where (for now) you have to jump through some hoops. The customer we are working with uses label printers from Zebra ... they do not have the XML enabled printers so we need to get the output into ZPL for the printer. So heres the hoops, using the PASTA print driver in Apps or the XMMLP del manager outside you can call something like GScript to convert from PDF to PS, then Zebra have and open source driver to go from PS to ZPL. Its not actually ZPL but their image format, I forget the name. This is then pumped to the printer ... not the best solution but its good enough for the customers requirments for now.
I'll try and put some meat on this soon.

Barcode Label Designer

Hi
I am having a requirement to print Barcode labels on an Intermec 3400E printer from SAP. I am on the looking for a label designer to create the labels and to upload into SAP. I am considering two designing tools , Bartender Label Software V9.0 from Seagull Scientific and LabelShop Pro with ERPLabel from Intermec. I like know the pros and cons of the above tools and how easy to develop labels and deploy in SAP. Also like to know whether we can design the labels using smartforms and print on the Intermec 3400 Printer.
Many Thanks
Skaria Manoj

I opted for Bartender Enterprise V9 for creating the label and used the print server for printing.. The solution is like this. The contents to be printed from SAP will be send to a ftp site using an ABAP program where the Bartender Print commander looks for print files. Print commander then send it to the specified printer .
Cheers
Skaria.

Barcode label printing in LV7.1

Hi,
I'm currently implementing a barcode label printing function to a final test program of our products. I want high control of image placement etc. on the labels. Therefore I've made a .vi interface where the barcodes are printed with true type fonts. The front panel is then printed on our label printer. However, the output is no good since the string indicators changes the appearance of the fonts compared to the output from other programs. The spacings are a bit larger and the font looks a bit bolder -- the result is that the scanners have problems reading the barcodes.
I want to save my self some time by asking if anybody has any suggestions on how to print barcode labels?
I'm currently considering using the report tool since this prints the font correctly (I'm making test versions as I'm writing). However, gaining full control of the final layout seems a bit more troublesome. Another method could be generating images from LV and then print and dispose after creation -- this solution is however clumsy since it e.g. requires a set of images corresponding to the character table.
I'm using LV7.1 Dev suite and Code128B barcodes.

COM, DCOM, ActiveX potAto, pOtato... I've been studying a bit this afternoon. COM came in '93 and was succeeded by DCOM. ActiveX is a kind COM (actually a modified Visual Basic VBX).... Today the names are used more or less interchangely...
I've tried everything. I think the only solution is a new version of cocreate.dll.
However, I've made it work in another way... I run a VB script by issuing e.g.:
wscript \"pathtovbscript\vbscript.vbs" Text Serial0123
with the command execution vi (wscipt should be in all newer version of windows). And vbscript.vbs looking like:
set Args = Wscript.Arguments
textField = Args(0)
barcodeField = Args(1)
' Print using the template
DoPrint("C:\path\template.lbl")
Sub DoPrint(strFilePath)
Set ObjDoc = CreateObject("BrssCom.Document")
bRet = ObjDoc.Open(strFilePath)
If (bRet <> False) Then
ObjDoc.SetText 0, textField
ObjDoc.SetBarcodeData 0, barcodeField
ObjDoc.DoPrint 0, "0"
End If
Set ObjDoc = Nothing
End Sub
Not very elegant but it's quite fast and it's working

If it's an RS-232 Serial Device - why don't you use a serial port instead? That way you can just read the data using simple serial functions.
If you have to use a digital I/O device - then you will need to convert the signal into digital data (using the timing information of the RS-232 device) and then convert it into the numeric data output by the device. It's not something I've ever tried to do but have a look at the digital waveform functions in LabVIEW as that might help you convert the analogue signal into binary data which you can then convert into a string.

Labview using Report generation toolkit in 2011 run time engine

is that possiblity to run the word in labview using Report generation toolkit in 2011 run time engine

It is possible to use the Report generaion toolkit with the run time engine. But you will have to include a lot of VIs from User lib since the report generation toolkit uses a lot of dynamically called VIs and classses.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

Can I automate the creation of a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an autogenerated .CSV, C header, or XML file?

Can I automate the creation of a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an auto generated .CSV, C header, or XML file? I'm trying to take the data structure defined in one or more of those files listed and have LabView automatically create a cluster with identical structure and data types. (Ideally, I would like to do this with a C header file only.) Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to create the cluster by hand, as the number of cluster elements could be very large. I've looked into EasyXML and contacted the rep for the add-on. Unfortunately, this capability has not been created yet. Has anyone done something like this before? Thanks in advance for the help.

Is this something you're trying to do at runtime? Clusters are fixed data structures so you can't change them programmatically. Or, are you just trying to create some typedef cluster controls so that you can use them for coding? What would your clusters basically look like? Perhaps another way of holding the information like an array of variants?
You can try LabVIEW scripting, though be aware that this is not supported by NI.
Wow! Thanks for the quick response! We would use this cluster as a fixed data structure. No need to change the structure during runtime. The cluster would be a cluster of clusters with multiple levels. There would be not pattern as to how deep these levels would go, or how many elements would be in each. Here is the application. I would like to be able to autocode a Simulink model file into a DLL. The model DLL would accept a Simulink bus object of a certain data structure (bus of buses), pick out which elements of the bus is needed for the model calculation, and then pass the bus object. I then will take the DLL file and use the DLL VI block to pass a cluster into the DLL block (with identical structure as the bus in Simulink). To save time, I would like to auto generate the C header file using Simulink to define the bus structure and then have LabView read that header file and create the cluster automatically. Right now I can do everything but the auto creation of the cluster. I can manually build the cluster to match the Simulink model bus structure and it runs fine. But this is only for an example model with a small structure. Need to make the cluster creation automated so it can handle large structures with minimal brute force. Thanks!

Combination Report:Shipping Order/BarCode Labels

CA Forum: General
Help!I am trying to re-create a report from a mainframe that is printed on special size document that contains Shipping Order information as well as bar code labels. The problem as I see it is being able to print the barcodes (which contain individual items) in an area that is usually designated for Header information. It is almost like taking two different reports (a shipping order and barcode label report) and 'glueing' them together.
Header:ShipTo, Shipto Address, ShipTo City, State etc. Body: Item #, Item Description, Quantity, Price Footer: TotalsThe right side of this report (document) should contain the bar code labels. Any Suggestions????
