HP 82153A WAND revision 1E versus 1F - Pierre Hardy - 05-21-2008 Hi,
If all know (or should know) the HP-41C barcode reader, it seems few know there are 2 versions of it, both with same reference : HP 82153A. First, to check your version, plug it into your favorite HP-41 and a CATALOG 2 will tell you which version you have. As I already had a version 1E, I wrote some Excel macros to produce almost all type of barcode (see HP-41 Programming Environment and Bar Codes Generation on my web site). So, when I received a 1F, I added some macros to produce the 1F specific codes. According to the "Creating Your Own HP-41 Bar Code" manual, version 1F recognize 3 additionnal barcode data types, mainly the "sequenced" version of the 3 (standard) data types :
Would it be valuable to create an article with those 3 version 1F data types, and how to code and use them ? (Above manual doesn't provide any info about its use and coding rules).
Re: HP 82153A WAND revision 1E versus 1F - Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) - 05-21-2008 There's at least a 1G version, since this is what I dumped for Hrast's emulator on 2002, I bet I own some 1E and 1F and probably other revisions (too lazy to check it out right now). |
