CODE 128 generation question …

[Clarence Bush]

Want to know if anyone did this before.

For example I want to convert “hellobarcode” into a long binary string. Which should contain the start and stop character, encoding data and checksum? I am looking for the easiest way to make this happen. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am not familiar with binary string. But I search the internet and find the Wikipedia have some explanations. Hope this will help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128

I'm not sure what exactly you mean.

Do you want to send the "hellobarcode" using Unitronics PCOM (with the STX, ETX and Checksum)? In that case, the PLC would not understand what you want from him (Because there isn't any command named hellobarcode.

Please tell us exactly what you mean and what you want, and for what purpose.

If you want to convert the text into binary string, you may need to buy the Code 128 specifications, which has all the details that you need. An easiest method to create this barcode symbole is to use a barcode creation control.

Hi, you just need one code 128 contro l for .NET or Java (depends on you). And you'd better to choose some tool with detailed tutorial.

Besides barcode generator, barcode font may be your another choice. It performs as other normal font such as Times New Roman. Easy to handle stuff.

You are making things complecated. Just get a Code 128 font or online Code 128 generator to get the barcode images you want.
