2D Barcodes & VENUS 4

My lab has a STARlet that has an autoloader with a camera, but we are running VENUS 4 software. The V4 programmer’s manual has no mention of 2D barcode scanning.

Does VENUS 4 have the ability to read in 2D barcodes? Is there a library add-on workaround?

Hi @Rakanishu ,

Does your autoload have a Cognex Side car (Autload with a second scanner attached to the side) or is the Autoload a 2D Autoload? If the latter, then Venus must be updated to at least VENUS 5 to be compatible with the 2D autoload. If the former, there is a library that’s associated with the Cognex side car functions.

We have a 2D Autoload, so we will need to update VENUS. Thank you @BrandonBare_Hamilton !
