DataMan 360 Tuning By tuning, your DataMan 360 series reader automatically selects the best settings for the given reading situation, based on parameters of illumination, camera and decoder properties, and focal distance. Tuning autodisciminates all enabled symbologies (both 1-D and 2-D).

  • Page 51: Dataman 360 Image Filtering

    DataMan 360 Image Filtering You can define a stack of filters to be applied to each image acquired by your DataMan 360 series reader. You can select the following filters on the Setup Tool’s Image Filtering pane (under Light and Imager Settings): Equalize This filter redistributes the brightness values of the pixels in the image.
  • Page 52 Using Your DataMan 360 Stretch This filter linearly scales up or stretches the greyscale values in the input image to the full 256-step greyscale. The result is an output image with increased contrast. Low Pass Using this filter results in output images where edges are smoothed or blurred.

  • Page 61 Connections, Optics, and Lighting High-Speed Output Lines The high-speed outputs can be used as either NPN (pull-down) or PNP (pull-up) lines. For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (<26.4V). The outputs pull down to less than 3V when ON, which causes current to flow through the load.
  • Page 62 Connections, Optics, and Lighting High Speed Output Wiring To connect to an NPN-compatible PLC input, connect Output 0, Output 1, Output 2, or Output 3 directly to the PLC input. When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input down to less than 3V. To connect to a PNP-compatible PLC input, connect Output 0, Output 1, Output 2 or Output 3 directly to the PLC input.
