Data Matrix

We are experiencing difficulties in decoding some of the "good looking" Data Matrix images utilizing your Plugin, while the system decoder seems easily handles them. Any ideas?

The image represents the old Data Matrix standard ECC 000 – 140, which is not supported by 2DTG. It differs from ECC 200 (ISO/IEC 16022) – supported by 2DTG - by error correction mechanism. All symbols utilizing the ECC 000 through 140 error correction can be recognized by the upper right corner module being the inverse of the background color.

How I can use your barcode online decoder?

You can decode Data Matrix, QR Code, PDF417, and 1D barcodes for free after  mouse click on “Online Barcode Decoder”  at top-left corner of every page.

When/where the use of your software is mostly beneficial?

  • If you develop the application for Windows | Linux | Embedded | Mobile platforms, which has to recognize and decode the Matrix (2D) or Linear (1D) barcodes.
  • If your application has challenging requirements such as:  decoding multiple barcodes within an image, calculating symbol's print quality, supporting Direct Part Marking (DPM) decoding, etc.

I've tried your Windows CE Kit for Data Matrix. But when I try to load an image, the following warning comes out: “Image to large”. What is the maximum image size allowed?

The maximum allowed image size is 680x680 pixels (this is library restriction). In application it might be restricted even further.

The only reason for having this restriction is a processing power of the device. Even for this relatively small image it might take up to 300 ms (depending upon device, of course). If decoding time is not an issue for you, we can increase the size and recompile the library, as you wish.

Do you have a Data Matrix decoding demo application for WinCe 5.0?

Yes, 2DTG offers Demo application for WinCe 5.0 with Data Matrix decoding library (Standard Edition, Version 11.04). The size of the image in this demo library is limited to 1280 pixels.

We are migrating an old project from Windows XP to WIN 7. We have used Data Matrix Decoding SDK and HASP dongle key in that project. Will this dongle driver be compatible with WIN 7?

For migration of dongles on hand from Windows XP to WIN 7:

The HASP HL PRO Keys are compatible with Windows 7, in general. However, driver update is required. Runtime & Drivers download link is here.

When upgrading from our libraries older than January 1, 2012 will I be required to re-compile our software/code with the new library?

We have changed the structure of the DLL for Data Matrix libraries only, so you will need to recompile your code if you have been using icDMatrix-ST or icDMatrix-PRO decoding products. No recompiling required for other libraries.

Are your Data Matrix libraries compatible with Linux 2.4?

Our libraries are built under Linux 2.6. In general, they are backward compatible with Linux 2.4. However, minor adjustments might be needed.
