Custom QR Code Content Format

Custom QR Code Format

Experiment Automata uses a custom QR code content format to represent experiments, trials and trial results. The Experiment Automata QR codes contain strings that are split into fields. Content is packed into a string for ease of integration with zxing and zxing embedded.
