11.6.1.7 Make changes to Sample(ascii), Char Test(TYPE):, Range-1 , or Range-2 & Repeat Test
This step represents the start of the iterative process used to generate an appropriate test for the
product to be programmed. Try different
Samples
, run
DO TEST
, make changes to the test, etc.,
until a satisfactory test is found.
11.6.1.8 Save the test to a Barcode Test (.bar) file for later use.
The tests created can be saved (See Section 11.6.5 - Saving and Loading Barcode Test (.bar)
Files .) for later inclusion in a Cyclone FX programming SAP image using PEmicro’s image
creation utility [1]. The saved tests can also be reloaded for correction or as the base for creating
other tests.
11.6.2 Character Types
Selected characters are tested as part of the
Char Test (TYPE):
to see if they are included in
a set of character called a type. Listed in Table below are the type sets allowed in this program.
Most of the types have common names and abbreviated mnemonics. Some types are contiguous
and others are not. Contiguous means that there is only a single lower and a single upper count for
the set with no missing values. A special type called MT (Multiple Types) means that is composed
of a number of sub-types.
When forming a MulTiple (
MT
) types, the program will automatically compress either adjacent of
overlapping sub-types if possible as they are created. This optimization makes for a more efficient
type testing process. In addition, when creating Fixed Characters (
FC
) or Single Set (
SS
) types, the
program asks for the lower or upper bounds for these sets either as ASCII characters or pairs of
hexadecimal digits.
FC
is the same as an
SS
with a bounds range of a single character, i.e., the
lower and upper bounds have the same value.
