Parameters
5.7.11 Code 128 family
If the Code 128 family parameter is activated, decoding is activated for the Code 128 and
EAN 128 active code types. This requires the Pharmacode code type to be deactivated. The
configuration tab for the corresponding code types can be seen and opened in SOPAS ET.
As only activated code types are processed, you can increase the processing speed by
deactivating the code types that are not being used.
5.7.11.1 General
Reading processes such as the number of necessary multireads, regulations for dealing
with the start and stop characters, or check digit tests are configured under the General
group.
5.7.11.1.1 Code 128
If the Code 128 parameter is activated, decoding starts for the relevant code type. This re-
quires the Pharmacode code type to be deactivated.
As only activated code types are processed, the processing speed can be increased by
specifically activating/deactivating the necessary code types.

5.7.11.1.2 EAN 128
