Symbology Settings
Introduction:
The DataMan readers have the ability to read a wide range of codes and as you saw in the previous
lab not all codes, even those of the same symbology, are the same. The Ace of Hearts and the Ace
of Diamonds are the same symbology but are different lengths. In some applications there
may be two codes of the same symbology in the field of view and you only want to read one of them.
One option is to tune on the code you want to read but another option may be to use other settings
to limit which code is read. In the DataMan Setup Tool each symbology has additional settings for
specifying what is and acceptable code. This lab will demonstrate some of those settings in addition
to some of the other settings in the Symbology Settings dialog.
Start:
So that whatever settings you have changed to this point do not affect what you want to accomplish
in this lab you need to reset the configuration to a default state. To do this click on the System menu
in the ribbon and then click on the Reset Configuration hotkey (Fig. 27). Confirm that you want to
reset the configuration when prompted. The reset will take a couple of seconds to complete.

When the reset is finished place the Ace of Hearts in the field of view using the aimer LED's for
positioning. From the Tune menu of the Quick Setup pane click on both the Optimize Brightness
and the Optimize Focus buttons on the left side of the tune menu. Trigger the reader to read the
code; you should see something like the image below (Fig. 28).
