BS ISO/IEC 16390:2007v Introduction The technology of bar coding is based on the recognition of patterns encoded in bars and spaces of defined dimensions. There are numerous methods of encoding information in bar code form, known

14、 as symbologies. Interleaved 2 of 5 is one such symbology. The rules defining the translation of characters into bar and space patterns and other essential features are known as the symbology specification. In the past, symbology specifications were developed and published by a number of organizatio

15、ns, resulting in certain instances in conflicting requirements for certain symbologies. Manufacturers of bar code equipment and users of bar code technology require publicly available standard symbology specifications to which they can refer when developing equipment and application standards.

22、cters 48 - 57 inclusive, in accordance with ISO/IEC 646); b) Code type: continuous; BS ISO/IEC 16390:20072 c) Elements per symbol character: 5, of which 2 wide and 3 narrow, encoded as either five bars or five spaces; d) Character self-checking: yes; e) Data string length encodable: variable (even n

23、umber of digits); f) Bidirectionally decodable: yes; g) Symbol check character: one, optional (see annex A); h) Symbol character density: 14 to 18 modules per symbol character pair, depending on wide/narrow ratio; i) Non-data overhead: 8 to 9 modules, depending on wide/narrow ratio. 4.2 Symbol struc

24、ture Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols shall comprise: a) leading quiet zone; b) start pattern; c) one or more pairs of symbol characters representing data (inclusive of optional symbol check character); d) stop pattern; e) trailing quiet zone. 4.3 Character encodation 4.3.1 Symbol character structure Data

25、 is encoded as interleaved pairs of symbol characters, the first of which comprises two wide and three narrow bars and the second of which comprises two wide and three narrow spaces, the first bar of the first character being followed by the first space of the second character, then the second bar o

26、f the first character and the second space of the second character, and so on until the last space of the second character, which is directly followed by the first bar of the next symbol character pair (or stop pattern). 4.3.2 Data character encodation Table 1 defines the Interleaved 2 of 5 characte

27、r encodation. In the columns headed “Binary representation“ the character 1 is used to represent a wide element and 0 a narrow element. BS ISO/IEC 16390:20073 Table 1 Binary representation of character encodation Data character Binary representation 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 1 0 0 0 4

The four left-most bit positions for each character are assigned weights of 1, 2, 4 and 7, from left to right; the fifth position is used for an even parity bit. The su

29、m of the positional weights of the 1 bits is equivalent to the data character value, except in the case of the data character 0, where the weights 4 and 7 are applied. The parity bit ensures that there are always two 1 bits per character. The following algorithm defines the rules to convert numeric

30、data into the symbol characters of an Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol: Step in Algorithm Example 1) Calculate check character if required by the application standard. See 4.7; 2) If the data string, including check characters, has an odd number of digits, add a leading zero; which becomes 367 0367 3) Subd

31、ivide the numeric string into digit pairs; which becomes 0367 03 and 67 4) Encode each digit pair in turn as follows: a) Encode the leading digit of the pair into a pattern of bars as shown in Table 1; b) Encode the second digit of the pair into a pattern of spaces as shown in Table 1; 0 (binary pat

38、all use the following nominal dimensions: width of narrow element (X): the X dimension of Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols should be defined by the application specification in accordance with the needs of the application in question. See 4.7.1; wide/narrow ratio (N): 2,0:1 to 3,0:1; minimum width of quie

39、t zone: 10X; recommended minimum bar code height for manual scanning: 5,0 mm or 15 % of symbol width excluding quiet zones, whichever is greater. The width, W (in millimetres) of an Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol, including quiet zones, can be calculated from the following expression: ( ) Q X N N P W 2 6

40、 6 4 + + + + = where: W is the symbol width; P is the number of symbol character pairs; N is the wide/narrow ratio; X is the width of a narrow element in millimetres; Q is the width of the quiet zone in millimetres. BS ISO/IEC 16390:20076 4.5 Reference decode algorithm Bar code reading systems are d

41、esigned to read imperfect symbols to the extent that practical algorithms permit. This section describes the reference decode algorithm used in the computation of the decodability value described in ISO/IEC 15416. 1) Confirm presence of a leading quiet zone. 2) Confirm presence of a valid start patt

42、ern by checking that the widths of the initial four elements are each less than 7/64 the sum of the next ten elements (if this fails, reverse decoding may be attempted). 3) Decode the exact number of character pairs specified by the application as follows: (1) Record the widths of the ten elements o

43、f a character pair and accumulate their sum, S; (2) Compute a threshold, T = (7 / 64)S; (3) Compare the individual widths with the threshold: if element width is greater than T, assume element is wide; if not, assume it is narrow. 4) Verify that in each group of five bars and five spaces two bar and

44、 two space elements are wide and three bar and three space are narrow. 5) Using Table 1, convert the wide and narrow pattern of the five bars and five spaces respectively into the first and second digits of the digit pair. 6) After decoding the proper number of character pairs, confirm the presence

45、of a valid stop pattern by checking that the next element width is greater than or equal to the T of the previous symbol character and that the widths of the following two elements widths are less than T. 7) Confirm the presence of a trailing quiet zone. 4.6 Symbol quality 4.6.1 Test specification I

46、n order to verify whether a symbol meets the specifications in this International Standard it shall be tested using the test specification defined in ISO/IEC 15416, which defines a standardized methodology for measuring and grading bar code symbols, as supplemented in 4.6.2. ISO/IEC 15416 lays down

47、conditions under which measurements should be made; and defines methods of determining an overall quality grade based on the attributes of the bar code symbol. The reference decode algorithm defined in subclause 4.5 of this specification shall be used for the assessment of the “decode“ and “decodabi

48、lity“ parameters under ISO/IEC 15416. The overall symbol grade shall be expressed in the form shown in the following example: 1,5 / 10 / 660 where 1,5 is the overall symbol quality grade, 10 is the measuring aperture reference number (in this example 0,25 mm diameter), 660 is the peak response wavel

49、ength in nanometers. ISO/IEC 15416 allows for additional pass/fail criteria to be stipulated by a symbology specification. For Code 39, the additional criteria are given in 4.6.2. Any individual scan profile which does not meet these requirements shall receive a grade of 0. NOTE Certain application specifications may define a decode algorithm and a method of calculating the decodability value which differ from those specified in 4
