How can I generate a Data Matrix in accordance with MIL Std 130 N?
The data matrix symbol according to MIL Std 130 N is based on ISO/IEC 16022 Data Matrix ECC200, this is the same standard which is used by TEC-IT. The module width may be between 0.19 mm and 0.635 mm, and must be adjusted so that final symbol width does not exceed 25.4 mm. For more details, see MIL Std 130 N specification (chapter 5.2.3.2). Data Structure: The structure of data depends on the label, whereas Application Identifier, Data Identifier or TEI can be selected (see specification 5.2.4 Syntax). • If you choose Application Identifiers, you should select Format Indicator 05 as shown below: Library/DLL: BCSet_DM_Format (pBarCode, eDMPr_Macro05) TBarCode/X: –DMformat=3 Result: In the data stream, a header of “[)>” + RS + “05” + GS and a trailer of RS + EOT will be inserted. FNC1 is for field separation with variable-length AIs (see specification 5.2.1.4). • If you choose Data Identifiers, you should use Format Indicator 06 as shown below. Library/DLL: BCSet_DM_Format (pBarCode, eD
