Decoder Software

Software for reading codes is available with an expanded feature set and operational range. The decoder deciphers rectangular and square ECC 200 datamatrix codes with module sizes from 6 X 6 to 144 X 144 cells. An advanced auto-detection mode automatically determines the size, number of modules, and bright-on-dark or dark-on-bright code types and adjusts the reader engine accordingly. The decoder software is able to read the codes reliably as fast as 40 codes per second when running on a DSP processor. Codes can be read when they are damaged, distorted, displaying low contrast, or laser engraved. The company offers a one-time license charge with no run-time fee.
