2D bar code scan with extra characters

[VI_Joe]

When I scan a 2D bar code and display the results in Notepad, the text is correct.  When I scan the same 2D bar code into a string control using LabVIEW, I get extra characters.  Why does this happen?  What can I do to prevent the extra characters?

What are the extra characters?

Change your string to hex display mode.

Give a screenshot showing what you are talking about.

Could be they are always there and Notepad simply doesn't show them.

What do the characters look like? How do you know that they are there?
