  • Page 40: Tuning

    Multi-port Connections You can connect multiple DataMan 150 readers to a single PC (or other device equipped with a serial port) using a multi-port connection. A multi-port connection creates a daisy-chain of readers. Each reader receives serial data from the previous reader and transmits it to the next reader.
  • Page 41 Setting Up Your DataMan The cable must provide a DB-15 connector for each DataMan 150 and a DB-9 connector for the PC serial port. Each DB- 15 connector must provide Tx Data, Rx Data, Trigger (Input 0), ground, and DC power. The Tx Data and Rx Data pins on adjacent connectors must be connected to provide the multi-port connection.
  • Page 42 If a DataMan 150 is transmitting its own read result, it will buffer any data received from another reader until it has finished its own data transmission. If a DataMan 150 is transmitting another reader’s data, it will buffer its own data if it receives a trigger signal while it is processing the other reader’s data.
