EC4™ BarCode software – Speed up Setup Description Writing

• Barcode generation (Code128, QR Code™, PDF417)
• Generate codified experimental setup descriptions

Overview

EC4™BarCode software for codification of the description of a experimental setups and generation of bar codes. The codified setup bar codes can be used to speed up the tedious task of inserting setup information into programs.

After creating the bar code, print and attach the code to any object.

Use any bar code reader( or your phone) together with EC4™DAQ to enter the experimental parameters fast by just scanning a bar code.

BarCode Features

EC4™ BarCode software includes the generate bar codes (Code128, QR Code™, PDF417). User have a many options to tune the bar code.

Codification

In order to reduced the size of the bar codes and standardize their usage, key experimental parameters are codified using one or two letters, a delimiter token followed by the value to be stored. For example, a HCl electrolyte would be coded as

Sa&HClO4

For another electrolyte, 2.4mM KI in water, the code would be in

S#2mM&KI&H2O

Here follows a selected list of experimental parameters that are codified:

• Solution(S)
  • Concentration, salt, solvent, volume.
• Working Electrode(W)
  • type, material, geo.area, tip name
• Catalyst(C)
  • Cat.w%, support, batch, substrate
• Reference and Counter Electrodes
• Free text

Bar code example of an electrolyte: 2mM HClO4 in H2O
