SDK DataMatrix

Available Options

2DTG offers three encoding/decoding software packages of DataMatrix SDK (ISO/IES 16022) under our trade name icEveryCode™:

icDMatrix DS	— «Standard» SDK version, allowing to read a single Data Matrix per scan (single mode);
icDMatrix Pro	— «Professional» SDK version, providing for a number of additional “enhancement” options compare with the “Standard” one:

Turbo Matrix —	High speed decoding option (2-3x faster than robust version) for the applications where decoding time is critical and image quality is reasonably good.
Peen Matrix —	Decoding SDK, optimized for "Dot-Peen" applications.
Multi Matrix —	Multiple Mode allows to decode up to 100 Data Matrix barcodes in one image via variable setting.
Fax Matrix —	Decodes Data Matrix symbols within a fax or tiff images.
Mirror Matrix —	Arbitrary Mirror Mode.
QP Matrix —	Evaluates Quality Parameters of the Data Matrix in accordance with ISO 15415.

icDMatrix E

— Encoding SDK that writes the Data Matrix symbol;

Detailed product brochure and demo-versions:

- Two-dimensional array of bytes which correspond to gray scale brightness of pixels, and
- the images can be from black/white to any color palette

2DTG’s icDMatrix encoding SDK – Specifications and Advantages

icDMatrix-E is remarkable for minimizing the symbol size. The special latch characters which are used to compact various parts of the message are inserted into the messages in the optimal way. The encoding part of the software developed by 2DTG is astonishing for using the best optimization technique with the purpose of minimizing the symbol size. There are special latch characters which are used to switch from basic ASCII encoding to one of the other encoding schemes, for example two digits may be packed into one byte, three letters of English alphabet into two bytes, and soon. The purpose is to insert the latch characters into input messages in the optimal way.

Data Matrix – Description, Applications and Advantages

Data Matrix is a unique 2D machine-readable symbology that was developed by CIMatrix (USA) in 1987 and released for public use. The 2D Data Matrix code has developed into an industry standard. This is mainly the result of its superior error correction, due to Reed Solomon correction algorithms used in Data Matrix which can correct a hefty amount of corrupted bytes.

The main merits of Data Matrix are as follows:

Data Matrix symbology is capable of encoding (6-3116 digits) of numeric, (3-2335 characters) of alpha-numeric, and (3-1556 bytes) of binary information
Variant scale that is capable of changing size proportion of elementary module and the symbol as a whole, available in two forms - square and rectangle. These two aspects make it possible to print the symbol on almost any available space.
The ability to print the symbol with round dots, square cells, or square with rounded corners. This makes it possible to use almost any type of marking device, such as inkjet, laser print, dot-peen, chemical etching and industrial lasers. The matrix can be placed on any surface, such as paper label or the actual product.
Use of the newest ECC200 version and the capability to use large symbols from two to thirty-six independent blocks with their own data and error correction information. This allows for if one block has been severely damaged and minimal loss of information.
The capability of printing positive and negative variations of the symbol. (Positive - Dark dots on light background, Negative - Light dots on dark background)

Because of these merits Data Matrix has proven to be the most space efficient of all of the two-dimensional symbologies and this type of data matrix is the most widely implemented matrix symbology in the greatest diversity of applications and industries, such as Aerospace, Automotive, Banking, Clinical, Electronics, Insurance, IT, Pharmaceutical, Postal, Semi-Conductor, and Defense.
