Barcode generation?

[[Mi...]]

Is there a way to have a Barcode or 2D Matrix on the report that contains information from your other header variables?

This would be very useful for our process, we could make Operators scan their printed reports at other measurement stations and tie all the data together pretty nicely.

I was hoping for a really simple barcode font and a text box but that was wishful thinking.

Yes - you can add a Barcode to the report: Toolbox - General - Barcode. 

From there, you would set the Barcode Properties to:

• Type - QR code or Data matrix code
• Payload - Text
• Text - This is where you can input header variables that you'd like imbedded. 

Here is an example that will show the Part name; CMM Type; Operator - they are separated by an enter

${Qdb.Part(1002)}
${ToString(Qdb.Measurement(12, -1, 4073))}
${Qdb.Measurement(8, -1)}

I wonder if I'm running into an issue with older versions? This is in Calypso 7.2, PiWeb Designer 7.8.17

 

Or am I misunderstanding where to look?
