Control Interfaces
Reset
Driving the
Reset
pin (PIN 11) on the host interface connector low for 100us-500us can reset the EM3296.
However, do not reset the engine at unreasonably short intervals. The minimum interval between resets
must exceed 2 seconds.
Trigger
Driving the
nTrig
pin (PIN 12) on the host interface connector low for over 10ms causes the EM3296 to
start a scan and decode session. If barcode is decoded, the EM3296 waits for the voltage at the nTrig pin
to turn high (or the trigger to be released) after sending the data to the Host. If the trigger is released
during a scan attempt, the EM3296 immediately stops decoding.
Next decode session does not happen until the EM3296 receives active trigger signal (driving the nTrig
pin low) again.
As a decode session involves image capture, barcode decoding and other steps, it is suggested that the
minimum interval between triggers should exceed 50ms.
The following trigger circuit is provided for reference.
