Page 20: Selection Criteria
Chapter Configurations Four Major Components of a Data Matrix FIGURE 1–4. Solid Border Timing Border Data Storage Quiet Zone Selection Criteria There are three main considerations for choosing the proper HawkEye™ type: • Resolution • Field of View • Working Distance The most important consideration is Resolution.
Page 21: Working Distance
Selecting the Correct HawkEye™ to Read Your Data Matrix Working Distance The Working Distance is the distance from the front of the light to the symbol. Typically, it is dictated by whatever clearance is required for part handling between the HawkEye™ 1500 camera and the part. These standoff distances vary from a low of 3 inches (76.2mm) to a high of 5 inches (127mm) with the HawkEye™...

Page 27: Connecting To The Hawkeye™ 1500
Connecting to the CHAPTER 2 HawkEye™ 1500 The chapter contains information to help you connect to the HawkEye™ 1500 camera. Specific information describes connectors, adapters, cables, pinouts, and signals. Note: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Connectivity TCP/IP Port When communicating over Ethernet, the camera uses the following predefined ports.
Page 28 Chapter Connecting to the HawkEye™ 1500 HawkEye™ 1500 TCP/IP Connectivity TABLE 2–1. Port Name Protocol Number Note Camera Query Port 49093 Discovers HawkEye™ 1500 cameras on the current subnet. Camera Announce 49094 Broadcasts the HawkEye™ 1500 camera identity Port on the current subnet used by Network View in ReadRunner, provides general counters, camera name, IP, IP in control, camera status, and camera software version and capability.
Page 29: Serial Port
Connectivity Note: Ports COMMAND, TCP1…4 use a protocol that is either ASCII or defined by you at connection time. Therefore, these ports are fully supported on a non- Windows based Host, provided the Host supports TCP/IP and a socket level API. Ports 49096 and 49097 use a binary format that is parsed into easy to use COM events and objects on the Host and is, therefore, only applicable to Windows- based Hosts.
Page 30: Rear Panel
Chapter Connecting to the HawkEye™ 1500 If the Serial port is programmed for 7 bits per character, certain features of the ReadRunner UI are not supported; in particular, “Hook Reports” and “Hook Images” are not available, as they transfer image and counters (binary data) and cannot be represented using a 7 bit per character ASCII format.

Page 77: Unique Camera Names
Unique Camera Names Unique Camera Names At boot time, if a camera’s network name is “HawkEye,” the camera’s software automatically changes “HawkEye” to “HawkEyexxyyzz” where xxyyzz is the last three fields of the camera’s MAC address. For example: Unique Camera Names TABLE 3–1.
Page 78: Motion
Chapter HawkEye™ 1500 Series Overview Motion This mode scans a symbol when it moves within the HawkEye™ 1500’s field of view. Because the parts are in motion, there is no time for the automatic calculation of photometry values. Thus, automatic photometry is off. You must specify the exposure and gain settings manually.
Page 79 Lighting Modes • Power Strobe • On With Power Strobe • External (may be used with any of the other modes) As detailed earlier in this chapter, when you select one of the four Application Modes, ReadRunner selects the appropriate lighting mode. You may override these selections as desired.
Page 80: Retry Modes
Chapter HawkEye™ 1500 Series Overview Note: This selection minimizes the effects of strobing on human vision. • External — When external lighting is selected, the HawkEye™ 1500 will NOT illuminate its internal lighting, but will drive an external line to control an external source for the desired exposure time.
Page 81: Time

The decoder takes the one image and attempts to decode the with the settings in the listed PID until the list ends or a successful decode occurs. PID List w/Acquire This mode behaves the same as PID List except that a new image is taken for each PID using the photometry settings in the PID being tested.

HawkEye™ 1500 I/O Operations these are the only signals that the camera responds to. Past attempts at trying to debounce the line in the camera by looking at the selected edge and seeing if the new level is maintained for a period of time, defeated the fundamental goal of triggering the acquisition when the selected edge was seen.

Page 273: Appendix B Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions
Troubleshooting & Frequently APPENDIX B Asked Questions This appendix contains troubleshooting tips and answers to frequently asked questions for the HawkEye™ 1500 Series Smart Camera-Based Reader. Frequently Asked Questions My camera is connected to the network and serial port, but I have no idea what the current communication settings are.
Page 274: I Have Dhcp Activated, But The Camera Reports A 169.254.X.x Address
Appendix Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions • Parity — N • Data bits — 8 • Stop bits — 1 • Flow control — None These are the default camera settings. Connect to the camera and see if you get any text.
Page 275: How Can I Tell If The Ip Configuration Of My Pc And My Camera Are Valid
Frequently Asked Questions How can I tell if the IP configuration of my PC and my camera are valid? Your PC and camera must be operating on the same subnet. The “Subnet Mask” determines the base address of the subnet. Typically, the subnet is either 255.255.0.0 (Class B) or 255.255.255.0 (Class C).
Page 276: I Have No Idea What The Current Settings Are For The Camera. What Do I Do
Appendix Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions I have no idea what the current settings are for the camera. What do I do? Should you encounter a situation where you have no idea what the current settings on the camera are, you can reset the camera to its factory defaults and resume from there.
Page 277: Is There A Way To Break This Control So I Can Get It Back
Frequently Asked Questions Note: Once this option is set, your camera is unusable over the serial port. To restore the camera’s normal serial port connectivity, issue the command “CONSOLE 0” from the Terminal window in ReadRunner. A connection has taken control of my camera and I can’t regain control.
Page 278: I'm Using The Part Queue To Record Images On The Camera But, After A While, The Camera Runs Much Slower. What's Going On
Appendix Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions override this timeout, take control of the camera and type Ctrl+S a second time. The timeout is now disabled until you release control again. You can use the ONLINE command (see the HawkEye™ 1500 Series Reference and Programmer Manual) to put the unit back online and maintain control.
Page 279: Is The "Exposure" In The Photometry Dialog And Command The Same As The "Shutter" On The Hawkeye™ 15
Frequently Asked Questions Is the “Exposure” in the Photometry dialog and command the same as the “Shutter” on the HawkEye™ 15? Yes, it is an electronic shutter internal to the CCD. It can be set between 30 usec and 20000 usec. It is the time during which light is integrated by the CCD sensor and also the time the light remains ON when in Strobe or Power Strobe.

The colored labels below the buttons show total cycles and passed and failed counters as obtained by querying the DeviceInfo. When first started, only the DeviceInfo is hooked, and, therefore, the colored counters will be updated.
Page 319 Code Walkthrough The two main objects used are declared at the top of frmMain. A MiCoordinator (m_coord) is used to make connection easier by using its DeviceFocusSet method. A ReportConnection object is used to represent the connection to the device. When DeviceFocusSet is called, the ReportConnection will automatically be connected (or disconnected) and fire the OnConnectionReset event.
