TBR Wizard

tbr wizard is an application that identifies the best tbr code(s) to maximize the recognition rate or speed for your typical images using tbr wizard installation download tbr wizard windows 32 bit

tbr tbr option is not set, this is a list of valid tbr codes for the specified type type recommended tbr recommended tbr is one or more tbr codes that read a maximum number of barcodes in the shortest time alternative tbr alternative tbr is a list of tbr codes that read a similar number of barcodes but slower than recommended tbr additional intermediate data are available by setting a verbosity verbosity option tbr wizard results are based on real time measurements actual timing varies between tbr wizard sessions; therefore, the preferred and alternative codes might change between sessions

as a comma separated list the tbr targeted barcode reader docid\ krbh lutyawzphraj5lqs mechanism is available for all inlite products to override default processing read using multiple tbr codes the following considerations affect the utilization of the tbr wizard recommendations tbr technology employs sophisticated image processing algorithms, which consume more cpu cycles than the default algorithms consequently, recognizing marginal, poor quality images may require more time to read more barcodes the analysis of the tbr wizard provides statistical data, which enables the user to balance speed vs recognition rate if multiple barcode type groups are used, combine the recommendations of the tbr wizard for each of the groups each group is processed separately, thus adding time to the total reading time actual recognition speed in production reader mode can be faster than the tbr wizard measurements because inlite's barcode readers can run multi threaded, using available cpus however, tbr wizard runs as single threaded to perform accurate timing measurements inlite's barcode readers can limit the number of barcodes found on a page on the other hand, tbr wizard tries to find all barcodes on a page reference command line format tbr wizard \[options] \[sources] \[@configuration file] where options options options specified in this document see command line reference

configuration file a configuration file is a convenient way to define a set of options and/or sources shared by multiple systems or sessions the format rules for configuration files are name name sets command line flags name=value name=value sets command line options with values source source specifies the location of image files to read barcodes from it can be an image file , a folder containing image files, or a url values with spaces should be enclosed in double quotes ( "some text" "some text" ) # # starts the comment portion of a line if # # is the first character, the whole line is treated as a comment exit exit ends the processing of a configuration file the rest of the file is ignored the configuration file should be in utf 8 to include non english file names
