To generate bar codes (ALL barcodes - meaning linear barcodes, 2D barcodes like DataMatrix and GS1 DataBar codes) all you need is an internet connection. Advantage: no additional software is needed and no Visual Studio is required. The basic idea is to insert an barcode image generated by the online barcode generator of TEC-IT. This barcode generator is customizable via the URL - so it is possible to create each bar-code as required. 1) Create the required barcode using the online barcode generator 2) Scroll down to the section "Free Use of This Barcode Generator". Copy the URL (see screenshot below) into your clipboard: 3) Start the MS SQL Server Report Builder 4) Create a new report 5) Insert a Picture object and change the “Image Source” property to “External” (see screenshot below) 6) Click on the “fx” button to set the URL for the barcode image (see screenshot below) Function used in the example above: =”http://www.tec-it.com/online-demos/...

We are announcing the new version of the data acquisition software / software wedge TWedge. TWedge is smart middleware which connects to arbitrary devices via RS232 (COM port), Bluetooth (native!) and TCP/IP. The received data is either simulated as keystrokes , stored in a file or saved directly into an ODBC database . Improvements 0-byte awareness Previous versions clipped received or transmitted data after an 0x00 in the data stream. HEX data display Incoming data can be displayed as HEX string for better debugging Silent mode Device data display can now be turned off Release Candidate Download Download data acquisition software TWedge (MSI setup file for Windows).  Technorati Tags: Database Wedge , software wedge , keyboard wedge , daq , aidc , barcode wedge , BlueTooth Wedge , Data Collection Software , Data Capture Software , TWedge , TEC-IT

TEC-IT's data acquisition software TWedge allows an easy implementation of RFID controller protocols. TWedge can be adjusted to communicate with RFID controllers in a bi-directional way. Reading and processing tag identifiers is as easy as reading/writing tag data! The following TWedge script can be used to read RFID Tag IDs from EMS Datalogic RFID Controllers (utilizing the ABx Fast Protocol). The following script performs the following functions: 1) Query the RFID controller by pressing the hotkey 2) When data is received test it for a valid response 3) Display data in MessageBox Try it yourself - Download the software wedge for free ! Keep in mind: V2.3 or higher is required! Global Helper Functions HEX Conversion function encodeHex(input) { hexOutput = ""; for (i=0; i hexOutput = hexOutput + ' ' + Dec2Hex(input.charCodeAt(i)); } return hexOutput; } function encodeDec(input) { decOutput = ""; for (i=0; i decO...

The new version of TBarCode/Direct V2.1 (SAP barcode software) comes now with QR-Code 2D barcode support. TBarCode/Direct is a smart, platform independent software solution for printing linear and 2D bar-codes (DataMatrix, QRCode) in SAP® ERP, SAP® R/3® and mySAP® ERP. This bar code solution works completely without any middleware and can be used with all PostScript® enabled printers (e.g. Laser Printers or MFPs)! The main advantage - TBarCode/Direct is installed within the SAP system only: No additional software, no system level installation and no additional hardware is required.

In Japan more or less every square-millimeter of space is covered with QR-Codes. Japanese companies are using the 2D codes for marketing purposes as well as for really useful applications (e.g. public transport schedules with ticketing possibilities). In Austria this technology is arriving very tentatively. The printed version of an Austrian newspaper ( www.derstandard.at ) is publishing ads of an European car manufacturer (I think it is Renault or Peugeot). These ads contain a 2D code . When scanned with a mobile you will be forwarded to some stylish web-page. Maybe I am able to upload a picture in the near future. Another example of "trying" out this technology is Austrian Airlines (now part of Lufthansa). They are giving away stickers (see picture) with some slogan and a QR-code . When decoding them you will be forwarded to the booking page. I assume that this specific marketing campaign is just a test-run. The slogans are not bad, but they do not provide enough informati...

TEC-IT announces a new AIX 5.2 based barcode library for the i5/OS PASE platform - AS/400 . The barcode API consists of only three function calls to generate a barcode in memory (PCL or Postscript format). Simplified usage in i5/OS Programs (e.g. ILE RPG or ILE C++) through the provided ILE C/C++ API Module! If you are interested in testing this barcode library - let us know !
