The same number can be read by human eye and entered via keyboard - the system will notice no
difference.
Bar code fractionation
Alternatively, several code numbers can be concatenated to form one mutual bar code.
Example:
Code0 = ‘0000’ (four leading zeroes)
Code1 = Substance-ID: Integer number with 5 digits
Code2 = Batch-ID: Integer number with 6 digits
Code3 = Container-ID: Integer number with 7 digits
This sums up to one bar code with 4+5+6+7= 22 digits, e.g.
0000111112222223333333
Now one bar code label carries all information- but the system must now be configured so that it can
fractionate the bar code into its components. This is done in the NIRWare Management Console.
Configuring an application for bar code fractionation
Each application needs to be configured individually, as it might be that only a part of the existing
applications is intended for use with a bar code reader.
The configuration is made under Application Designer - <YourApplication> - Operator Configuration
- Sample Description Fields:
The field “start reading at bar code position” specifies the start digit of each fraction, and “length of bar
code field” defines how long the cut-out string will be.
Coming back to our example, the configuration will cut our original bar code:
“0000111112222223333333”
into the following parts:
Start @ digit 5, read 5 digits --> “11111” will go into “Expected Substance” field;
