Another advantage to Robert's suggestion is that you probably get some error detection thrown in - for very good measure.
If you are building a system for controlling warehouse picking, you must surely be considering some error detection/correction?
Error detection is in my scope of work, however correction is not. That is to say that I need to know when a transmission error has occurred (common over slow radio links in a factory) but do not need to do anything fancy to reconstruct the missing data, rather just request a re-transmit.
Re-transmit sounds like error correction to me ;-) Paul --- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539561830 & SMS, Mobile +44 7714 330204 & SMS pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
