Serial barcode scanner

I have created a vi to read a barcode scanner (Mfg Handheld Model 3800 series) attached to the COM1 serial port. The barcode I am scanning is standard code 39 and after scanning it into Hyper terminal, it matches the label. However, when I scan it using the vi attached, it does not match up. The vi works, it just does not show the correct characters. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So, your Hyperterminal Setup looks like this? Which specific model of the 3800 do you have? Handheld list several in that series, none of which are just 3800. The one I happened to look at, the 3800g, has a default setup which is different than what you have, so I am assuming you changed the basic configuration of the scanner?

Adobe form barcode scanner input

I made an Adobe form with X Pro. The purpose of the form is to inventory equipment. I use a barcode scanner to enter serial numbers into the form. When I scan the barcode (Code 39) of an item the serial number entered into the form is truncated. To ensure that the scanner was reading the barcode correctly I scanned a code while having notepad open, it input the entire serial number correctly. I did the same thing with Word and the serial was also input correctly. Why is the form truncating my serial number? I can type more in the field if I so wish so I know that a character limit is not the issue. I checked all of the text box's properties but see nothing incorrect or limiting.
Thanks for the help,

Sorry for never replying to your post. The problem is: I do not know why this is happening.
Your last sentence "on the Text Area the scan seems to stop before entering all digits but when I scroll back through, they are accurate" makes me think. As I wrote earlier, "A barcode scanner is basically just an input device like a keyboard", but very much faster. Somehow it seems that the software acts like it is encountering the carriage return before all the data digits have been processed.
But somehow it also seems to correct itself in a text area that allows multiple lines, but not in a single-line text field.
Yet that does not happen with my barcode scanner, but with yours and the o/p's.
Very confusing! Does anybody else have some thoughts on this?

Barcode scanner input

Hi .
I have an application that needs to receive bar code scanner input (the DS6707 from motorola). This application also discusses with 3 or 4 boards that run in parallel (using serial port com). So I have at least 5 threads that are running in parallel: one for each port com, one supervisor, and the main for the user interface.
I created a control to get the data coming from the barcode scanner, but sometimes I lose some number on my barcode, or sometimes I receive ‘?’ instead of a number.
If I create a thread that read the standard input, it works, I always receive all my numbers, but the problem is that I have the standard input that is visible and I don’t want.
I tried to used keyboard methods from the windows library , but I don’t know how to proceed.
Thanks for your help.

I have a question about a keyboard wedge scanner input.
I have a single panel with several text boxes placed in a grid.
I post the output from 8 flash programmers in the boxes.
I have a single wide text box below these to display general program status.
My problem is when I scan the barcodes from the panel array, all data goes
through the Upper Left text box. i want the data to go through the big box on the bottom.
The reason I am using the text box in the upper left, is because that is where the data went
when I scanned the bar codes. I was desperate to get the project moving forward.
And the StdIO window caused too many problems.
Question, How do I move the cursor to the other text box ? I have tried many Set / Get
Attribute parameters. If there exists any "how-To" example code I would be grateful.

Making barcode scanner work

Hello,
I am stuck here with the barcode scanner "Symbol LS2208" via USB and have to use it in a Java app. I am using jdk 1.5 and downloaded the javax.comm API. Now i have some problems with which I hope one of you can help me. Is there a way to read from the scanner via USB, because as far as I can see the javax.comm API supports only serial ports and does the whole thing work with JDK 1.5, as javax.comm seems to have been written for JDK 1.2? I really would appreciate if one could get me started at least with some helpful documentation or examples...actually anything :-)

I don't know about reading the USB input directly, and I don't know about your particular scanner.
However, I have a Symbol LS4000 that I use in keyboard emulation mode. Is that an option for you? Or does it have to be the raw USB input?
If you can use keyboard emulation mode, you'll probably have to configure the scanner to do that. For the one I have, the scanner gets configured by scanning various barcodes in the manual.
So check with your prof or get the docs for the scanner. You'll need that as well as whatever Java knowledge is relevant for the approach you choose.

Ingenico has a 1D Bluetooth barcode scanner certified MFi by Apple.
http://baracoda.ingenico.com/Baracoda-i-fly.aspx
Baracoda i-Fly is compatible with Apple iPod touch, iPhone and iPad.
Baracoda i-Fly supports IAP Bluetooth profile and is MFi certified, which means it is 100% compatible with Apple development standards and performances.
Its Bluetooth connection is bidirectional, which enables the i-Fly to transmit data both ways in mode « No Data Loss »).
Furthermore, Firmware update is also possible, which is not the case for non-MFi certified devices.

Hands free barcode scanner

I currently have a barcode scanner that with a trigger. I hold it in my hand, point it at the item and press the trigger. I have a string control on my front panel that is in focus and the barcode is automatically inserted into it. I monitor this string and when it changes I check to see if it is valid (LF and length) and then search my barcode database.
I would like to upgrade the system to have a hands free barcode scanner and so improve throughput. The idea is that like a supermarket when the item is placed infront of the scanner it would detect a valid barcode (and beep confirmation).
1. Does anyone know of a suitable scanner to do this?
e.g. Miniscan 4400, MG112041-001-412B, LS9208
3. I would prefer USB but can cope with serial and ethernet (I would prefer to avoid TTL outputs that would require a DAC board)
2. Does anyone have any example code for these or any other hands free barcode scanners?
3. Does anyone have any ideas of a "clever" way to implement this?
- I am hoping that the scanner itself will know if it has seen a valid barcode and will store it and that way I can poll the scanner for a latest string and status? Perhaps I am expecting too much?
Thanks in advance
Stuart

In the end I got two scanners:
OPR-3201-BK-USB+STD
This one is cheap and comes with a stand. When in the stand is automatically goes into continuous scan. When removed from the stand it needs the trigger to be pressed. This still communicates via USB as a keyboard emulator so is not really much different from my existing barcode scanner.
Cipherlab - 1400 Series OEM Integration Kit 1430
This one is an mini OEM . It came with an integration kit so all i needed to do was cut the end of a serial cable and screw it on to the dev board. The devboard has a built in beep and LED's. I setup a very simple serial communication with it and just wait for the termination character. It is much easier, simpler and reliabile than the keyboard emulator.
Thanks for all you help, in the end there was nothing much to worry about it was far easier than I though to integrate both.

Bidirectional coms with barcode scanner

Hey everyone. I'm trying to think big thoughts today.
I have implemented a CVI 2012 app that used a Symbol / Motorola LI4278 barcode scanner. Works well. For that application, I went next-to-simplest method by pre-formatting the scanners into CDC driver mode to work with Win7 as virtual com ports. Pretty simple then in CVI with a custom serial callback.
So onto my "big idea" question. It would be great to send warning beeps and LED blinks back to the user weilding the scanner. Mot has an SDK that I've stared at, but it appears to be C++ only. I'm not about to get in there and attempt a wrapper for it.
I found this discussion here, and it sounds relevant, but I'm not sure where they got their device library. So anyway, any thoughts on this?

Hi ElectroLund,
For the forum thread you linked in your previous post, he said the scanner in question came with a DLL. Since it seems your device did not come with a DLL and only a C++ library, it seems options are pretty limited. You could use a third party C++ development environment and create a DLL out of the C++ source code. This DLL could then be called within your C code.
Unfortunately, since this is regarding communication with a third party device, National Instruments does not support the actual communication with the device. We can assist with calling DLLs and supported drivers. I would suggest contacting the maker of the barcode scanner to see if they have any DLLs or C source code to be used with their devices.

How can i use an barcode scanner and a keyboard at the same time on Ipad

HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
Does any one know how this can be done.
thanks

It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why? Obviously the device is operational. Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn? If so, is it reparable?

It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

How would I create an USB Barcode Scanner Listener using Adobe AIR?

I want to create a USB barcode scanner listener that would read in the scanned barcode, and place the barcode in a field in my AIR App even if the program wasn't focused on that particular field in the App. If the client was using the application at the time for something else the scan would be buffered in AIR till requested or the AIR App has been idle for x period of time where upon the field would be brought into focus.
How would I go about this (I'm developing on windows) Was hoping for a USB solution within AIR but not fussy at all if I have to go outside AIR to solve this problem. Java, Flex, ActionScript, Flash, C, C++, C#, VB (currently I've developed the rest of the App using Adobe AIR and JavaScript)
I thought after some research that I could make a Java App (if all else fails) that listens and buffers the input and passes it along using a socket but JUSB doesn't work on Windows properly.
I'm not stuck on any one particular implementation or idea just want to get development underway so... Any ideas? or suggestions would be awesome. I've googled a lot but haven't found any examples or solid suggestions, so any URL pointing to that information would be great too, if you know of a good one, then I'd be able to read up on any suggestion.
Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Joe,
Just for anyone else. I bought a Metologic Scanner - VoyagerCG. I was trying to get it to work using Java USB for a bit with no luck. But if you get this scanner or one like it, it can be configured as a Virtual COM Port. Which is very very easy in Java to set up as a listener and use sockets to transfer the data and listen within AIR.
This PDF has links to drivers and instructions if this is useful to anyone.

How to identify the type of pocketpc barcode scanner?

How to identify the type of pocketpc barcode scanner whteher it is intermec or symbol?
GS

Hi,
well, this is the brand of the PDA - the Scanner itself is build into the device. So if you have an intermec device - you have an intermec scanner and vice versa. It is not recommended to use a HP device for example with an external scanner. This scenario is not really supported by the MI setup guides.
Hope that helps!

What kind of BarCODE scanner works well with LabVIEW ?

Currently I am working on a project need the use of Barcode Scanner to scan BarCODE. In our project, the minimum range requirement would be 30 feet. I noticed some posts here indicate there are some problems for barcode scan applications in LV to some specific Barcode scanner models. .
So, I would like to know if someone has successful experience for wireless or usb barcode scanner programming using LV, and the Barcode scanner model.
I would prefer wireless Barcode scanner.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Michenglaoxu,
I thinkt he best thing to do is look at a similar thread where someone was just looking for tips on where to get started and someone actually recommends a product. I can't guarantee the validity of his suggestion, but I thought you may find that link useful.
Good luck!

I want to limit the number of scan done by a barcode scanner to 50, how can i do that

I am scanning data from my 2d barcode scanner, now i want that after 50 scans my barcode scanner should prompt that scanning of 50 barcode complete, how can i do that? i know logic might be easy but its not sticking me. Please help.

Hey,
Everytime you get a valid scan increment a counter and compare with 50. If limit is reached you are done.

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.
