1. Make sure your PC meets the requirements listed in the DataMan Release
Notes.
2. Download the DataMan Setup Tool from http://www.cognex.com/support/
dataman and follow the on-screen steps.
3. Connect the DataMan 100 to your PC following the instructions on pages
14-21.
4. Choose Start->Programs->Cognex->DataMan Setup Tool->Setup
Tool to launch the Setup Tool.
5. Click Refresh to update the list of connected devices.
6. Select a COM port that lists a DataMan 100 (DM100) and click Connect.
The DataMan 100 is pre-congured for Manual triggering using the trigger
button and symbology discrimination. To verify that your reader is opera-
tional, click on the Results Display pane in the Setup Tool, place a symbol
in front of the reader, and press the black trigger button. The Setup Tool
should display the image and the decoded string.
Troubleshooting
If you are unable to read a valid symbol, try any of the following:
• Scan the correct connection code on page 15 or 17.
• If you are using your PC’s USB to power the DataMan 100, make sure
that your PC’s USB port can supply enough power (2.5W peak). Connect
the DataMan 100 power supply (DM100-PWR-000) to the USB adapter
cable if needed.
• If you are using a direct USB connection, make sure that the USB
adapter cable is connected to the DataMan 100 before you connect the
USB cable to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug from
the USB cable while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver crash
on the PC.
• If you are using a USB connection with the Basic I/O module, make
sure that the DataMan 100 is connected to the I/O module before you
connect the I/O module to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the
15-pin plug from the I/O module while the PC is connected may cause a
USB driver crash on the PC.

DataMan decodes when you tell it to. You can trigger a read by:
Trigger Modes
Pressing and holding the trigger
button.
Sending a pulse on Input-0 line.
Sending a command on the
serial line. (You must be using
RS-232 or USB communications
type.)
Clicking the
Trigger button or
pressing
<Ctrl>-T in the
Setup tool.
DataMan supports a variety of trigger modes:
• Single: Acquires a single image and attempts to decode any symbol it
contains, or more than one symbol in cases where multicode is enabled.
The reader relies on an external trigger source.
• Presentation: Repeatedly scans for a symbol and decodes it whenever
one is detected. The reader relies on an internal timing mechanism to
acquire images.
• Manual (default): Begins acquiring images when you press the trigger
button on the reader or the discrete trigger input is activated, and
continues acquiring images until a symbol is found and decoded or you
release the button or the discrete trigger input is deactivated.
• Burst: Performs multiple image acquisitions based on an external
trigger and decodes any symbol appearing in a single image or within
a sequence of images, or multiple symbols in a single image or within
a sequence of images when multicode is enabled. You can control the
number of images within each burst and the interval between image
acquisitions.
• Self: Similar to Presentation mode in that the reader perpetually scans
for symbols and decodes them each time one is detected. Unlike
Presentation mode, however, Self mode supports multicode results and a
decode attempt occurs with every image.
• Continuous: Begins acquiring images based on a single external trigger
and continues to acquire images until a symbol is found and decoded, or
until multiple images containing as many codes as specied in multicode
mode are located, or until the trigger is released.

For best performance, you can train DataMan. Train DataMan by placing a code
in front of the reader and doing one of the following:
Training Feedback
DataMan reports the status of the training and brightess optimization
operations using its signalling LEDs:
Press and hold the trigger button for
at least 3 seconds. This trains the
code and optimizes lighting.
In the Display pane of the Setup Tool you
can click the Train Code button to train the
code, and you can click the Optimize Lighting
button to optimize lighting.
Displays steady
green if trained,
steady yellow if
untrained.
A red LED is displayed
during brightness
optimization. When
complete, one, two, or
three green LED ashes
indicates the optimized
exposure time:
• One: > 0.4 msec
• Two: < 0.4 msec
• Three: <= 0.2 msec
Click and hold the trigger button
in the Setup Tool for at least 3
seconds. This trains the code
and optimizes lighting.
Training is supported for the trigger modes shown below:

You can connect multiple DataMan 100 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. When a reader transmits data, it is passed through each of the
readers in the chain between it and the PC.
Because of the large number of possible congurations, Cognex does not
supply cabling for multi-port DataMan 100 connections. Instead, you must
construct your own cable that meets the requirements of your system
conguration.
The cable must provide a DB-15 connector for each DataMan 100 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
Multi-Port Connections

and Rx Data pins on adjacent connectors must be connected to provide the
multi-port connection.
The following diagram shows how to create a multi-port cable for a
3-reader system. In the example, all the readers share a common trigger.
It is also possible to wire individual triggers for each reader.
You must connect the Setup tool to each DataMan 100 in turn using a USB
connection and set the DataMan for multi-port operation. To congure
a DataMan 100 for multi-port operation, click on the Communication
Settings step and check the Enable Multi-Port (RS-232 Sharing) check
box.
There is no guaranteed delivery order when multiple readers transmit
data using a multi-port connection; read results may arrive at the PC in
any order. You can congure each DataMan 100 reader in a multi-port
connection to add identifying data to each read result. Your PC application
can then determine which reader produced a specic read result.
To do this, click on the Data Formatting step, check the Standard
Formatting Enabled box (for each symbology that you are using), and
enter text in the Leading Text eld. (You can also add trailing text by
entering text in the Trailing Text eld.)

You can obtain the best results when using multi-port connections by keep-
ing the following usage guidelines in mind as you design your system:
• The maximum cable length between any two DataMan 100 readers or
between the PC and any DataMan reader should be no greater than 15
meters.
• There is no xed limit to the number of DataMan 100 readers that you
can connect to a single PC. Each reader introduces a delay of about 100
msec when it retransmits received serial data. If you have 5 readers,
this means that there will be a 400 msec delay between the time the
rst reader in the chain transmits data and the PC receives it.
• Each DataMan 100 reader must receive a hardware trigger signal on its
Input 0 line. You can wire the input ports to a common trigger signal or
you can provide individual triggers for each reader.
• Each DataMan 100 reader must be individually congured for multi-
port operation, and you must perform this conguration using a USB
connection.
• If any reader in the multi-port chain loses power or becomes
disconnected, then no data from any other reader will be transmitted.
• If a DataMan 100 is transmitting its own read result, it will buffer any
data received from another reader until it has nished its own data
transmission. If a DataMan 100 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.
• If you use a single power supply for multiple readers, make sure that
the power supply can provide enough power for all of the readers.
