Use a DataMan 100 Ground Isolator to prevent mounting your DataMan 100
to conductive material that can provide an electrical path to ground, which
may cause data loss or unreliable operation.

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-congured 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.

Wiring the Basic I/O Module
1Power: 5–24 VDC, 2.5W peak. Connect either ground pin to chassis
ground.
2Discrete Output: Current sink only; must connect logical ground to
common. Outputs are opto-isolated and protected against reverse
polarity. Max current 50 mA @ 24 VDC. Output 1 used for external
illumination control by default.
3Trigger Input: Opto-isolated, polarity-independent, current source
or sink. Input 0 is dedicated trigger line.
4RS-232 and USB: If USB connection is detected, USB
communications is automatically selected; otherwise RS-232
connection is used.
NOTE: You
must use a
null modem
cable when
connecting
the Basic I/O
Module to a
PC’s RS-232
serial port.
