DUNE HWDB Training: Generating bar/QR-code labels

This page describes how to configure paper & bar/QR label sizes as well as label positions within its sheet and generate label sheets using the HWDB Explorer.


Within the HWDB Explorer, from any Type View page like the one shown below, there is a link Labels that takes you to the label generator page of the corresponding Component Type.

TypeView



Once you arrive the label generator page, you should be seeing a GUI like the one shown below:

LabelGUI

Basically you provide a list of PIDs (or select from the available list).
You then select from the available label formats (you could define one by yourself) and apply more precise adjustments to the format.
Decide what to be displayed for each given code. The generated QR/bar-codes have the DUNE PIDs embedded by default, but if desired, one could add more to the each label, such as a Serial #, manufacturer, or anything that is stored within its Item.
