    Operations Guide Operations Guide This section contains information about configuring and using your DataMan reader. Trigger Modes The fixed-mount DataMan readers provide the following trigger modes: Self-Trigger DataMan fixed-mount readers support self-triggered operation. In self-trigger mode, the reader automatically detects and decodes codes in its field of view.

  • Page 158: Package Detection Support

    Operations Guide Presentation mode is similar to manual trigger mode, without using the trigger as a signal to start acquisition. Package Detection Support You can connect your package detection sensor to one of the digital inputs of your DataMan reader. When the reader receives a signal that a package is detected, images that the reader collected are not discarded at the end of the trigger.

  • Page 159: Code Training

    Operations Guide Check Automatic Triggering, and the reader will simulate external triggers at the interval that you specify. This allows you to examine the result of each trigger and images with the configuration used in production but at a slower rate. Because inputs and outputs are disabled, the reader will not interfere with the normal operation of your line.

  • Page 160: Retrieving Buffered Images

    Operations Guide No images. No-read images. (Images where the reader was triggered but either no code was present or the code could not be decoded.) Images where a code was successfully decoded. All images. If you select all images or no-read images, you can specify a sampling rate to control the number of images that are buffered.

  • Page 161: Primary Reader

    Operations Guide Primary Reader Within a group, one reader is defined as the primary reader. When the primary reader is triggered (regardless of what type of trigger it uses), all the readers in the group are also triggered. For self-trigger mode, you must designate the primary reader explicitly.
  • Page 162 Operations Guide Note: PTP synchronization and other imager settings do not get synchronized by this mechanism - for example, you have to configure exposure and gain on each reader individually. This feature only synchronizes the actual image acquisition, triggering happens through the existing multi-reader sync mechanism.
  • Page 163 Operations Guide Connecting the DataMan 503 Through the Synchronized Acquisition Cable Plug the synchronized acquisition cable into the dedicated connector on the DataMan 503. If you are connecting more than two DataMan 503 devices, you need a Y connector with female ends to be able to use the synchronized acquisition cables.
