For developers: Baracoda APIs:
The Baracoda APIs are conceive for those developers who want to integrate the barcode data collect into their
own code, thus enabling end-users to run a single program (and not both the BaracodaManager and the
application software)
BaracodaManager uses specific dll libraries that provide an abstraction layer allowing developers to integrate
Baracoda products into their own application very rapidly. Moreover, these libraries will deal with all the low
level routines, timeouts, connection and configuration management.
These libraries are available to developers for free
