Hi all,

I have my DataMan 8100 all set up in RSLogix 5000 (compactlogix controller).

The scanner reads bar codes just fine and brings in the value into one of the default registers (SourceData or something like that). what has me lost is how can the bar code data which is formatted as an SINT[] be processed and displayed as a complete value.

All I can think of is to concatenate all of the bytes in the SourceData register and create a string...but this sounds very inefficient. I would appreciate any guidance on this issue.

Thanks
 
If you assured the length of the data, couldn't you copy the character data to the .DATA element of the string structure and then set the .LEN element to the data length?
