Mechanical Information

Mechanical Information This section provides information on various mechanical features of the DataMan 9500

reader, such as the battery replacement procedure as well as the thermal and

environmental requirements.

Thermal and Environmental Requirements See the following table for thermal and environmental requirements:

Operating temperature 0ºC — 40ºC (32ºF — 104ºF)

Storage temperature -10ºC — 60ºC (-14ºF — 140ºF)

Maximum humidity 95% (non-condensing)

Optics and Lighting

Optics and Lighting This section contains information about the image formation components of the DataMan

9500.

DataMan 9500 Reading Distance and Field of View This map shows the reading distances and the field of view of the DataMan 9500 reader.

Liquid Lens Characteristics The liquid lens provides an electronically controllable variable focus system. It offers rapid,

hands-free, software-driven autofocus with no moving parts giving an increased depth of

field flexibility.

Use the Setup Tool to set the focus manually. Under UltraLight Settings, click Focus

Settings.


11/12/2012 | Version 4.2.2

P a g e | 9

Optics and Lighting

You can change focus settings individually for the 4 lighting recipes. If Focus Steps is equal

to zero, the focus is set to one position and an image is acquired. No search for a best

focus is performed. If Focus Steps is set to 1, the focus is switching between the two

values: lower and upper.

If your application has a consistent reading range, set the focus range to a fixed setting

with no steps (for example, set it to 20) or with limited steps (for example, set it to 2-3

steps between 0 and 30) for near range reading for difficult DPM. This will result in the

fastest performance.

If your application has a variety of code types and sizes, set the focus range to a wider

depth of field with an increased number of steps (for example, set it to 4-5 steps between

50 and 150). The reading time on an individual code may be slower but the wider depth of

field will provide a greater application range.

Internal Lighting

DataMan 9500 Internal Lighting

This section describes the working mechanism of the built-in lighting of the DataMan 9500

series reader.

The DataMan 9500 uses Cognex’s patented UltraLight® technology. The UltraLight system

provides two independently controllable lighting sources:

Four individually controllable quadrants of shallow-angle off-axis LEDs that provide

dark field lighting, which can help image scribed or etched marks on reflective

surfaces.

A single, highly diffuse on-axis light source that provides bright field lighting, which is

appropriate for reading low and high contrast codes on many types of surfaces.


11/12/2012 | Version 4.2.2

P a g e | 10

Optics and Lighting

You can configure four different lighting setups using the four tabs in this control. When

you attempt to read a code, the reader uses each enabled setup in turn to try to read the

code. To enable a setup, click on that setup's tab and check the Enabled checkbox.

Enabled setups have green check marks next to their names.

When you start a new scan, the reader always starts with the most recently used setup, if

multiple setups are enabled. The reader switches the setup based on the number of decode

tries, that is, in the default setting the reader will go to the next setup after 2 or 3

unsuccessful decodes.

During operation, the DataMan 9500 automatically regulates image exposure time and

imager gain to produce usable image quality at the highest possible frame rate.

As the working distance between the reader and code increases, additional light intensity or

longer exposure times are required to maintain the same image quality. When the

maximum illumination intensity is reached, the frame rate may be reduced to permit a

longer exposure time.

Operations Guide

Operations Guide This section contains information about configuring and using your DataMan.

Trigger Modes DataMan 9500 reader provides the following trigger modes:

Manual

Manual triggering starts acquiring and attempting to decode images when the trigger

button on the DataMan reader (or in the DataMan Setup Tool) is pressed. The reader

continues to acquire and attempt to decode images until the button is released. 2D DPM

codes are automatically learned.

Manual trigger mode is typically used during debugging or system design.

Presentation

The laser aimer is always on. When motion is detected in front of the reader, the reader

will turn on and scan for a symbol. The reader relies on an internal timing mechanism to

acquire images.

Offline Buffering When you are within the wireless range or your access point, your reader sends decoded

data to your PC through the access point, which may be a router or your PC. You can also

see the decoded images in the Setup Tool, if it is running and connected to the reader.

When you leave the wireless range, however, you lose connection to your access point, but

you can still keep reading codes. The decoded data is saved in the buffer of the reader.

This buffered data appears on your PC again when you come back within the wireless

range.

While you are still within the wireless range, the reader occasionally blinks blue to indicate

that the wireless connection is established.

When you leave the wireless range, you can still keep reading codes. The reader going

offline is indicated by a long beep and the status indicator flashes magenta.

When the reader is offline, good reads are indicated with 2 short beeps and the selected

good read status indicator color (green by deafult).

When the buffer is full, no more codes are read. The reader does not discard the oldest

read.

Using the Inventory Demo

Using the Inventory Demo The purpose of the Inventory Demo is to give a basic example about using the DataMan

9500 device for Inventory purposes in an imaginary warehouse.

The application has the following features:

reading product ID codes, displaying them on the handheld screen, together with the

image seen

matching product codes with a detailed product database residing either on the device

or on a remote company server

displaying the matching product data, together with product images from the database

allowing you to modify the product information and/or the stock data on the device

NOTE: For Ad-Hoc wireless connections, check your firewall status for the database

connection, as images from the database may be blocked by the firewall.

Operation Modes The Inventory Demo application runs

in standalone mode: the DataMan 9500 displays the read images and codes on your

DataMan 9500

through a PC connection: the Inventory Demo on your DataMan 9500 receives and

displays product data and images sent from the PC-side product database, with the

help of the PC-based DataMan Demonstrator application (installed through the

Developer Toolset Installer)

Starting Up the Inventory Demo Perform the following steps to get the Inventory Demo operational:

1. On your DataMan 9500, click Start Programs Cognex Inventory Demo.

2. The main window of the Inventory Demo application appears. This demonstrates the

use of data transfer, display and entering capabilities of the DataMan 9500 reader,

through an imaginary inventory application.

3. In standalone mode, you can use the Inventory Demo for two purposes:

to display code that was read

to show that the code you read can be associated with either Item, Location, or

Quantity by placing the cursor into any of these fields

2. On your PC, click Start Programs Cognex DataMan 9500 Developer Toolset

DataMan Demonstrator (folder) DataMan Demonstrator (program). The DataMan

Demonstrator starts.

3. Wait until the DataMan Demonstrator discovers the devices on the network. If you

cannot find your device in the list, click Refresh. If you still cannot find it, check if

your DataMan 9500 is connected to your PC.

4. Select your DataMan 9500 device from the Device list, and click Connect.

5. To start the Inventory Demo plug-in, click the Inventory button.

The DM9500 Demo Inventory Codes show codes in threes.

The first code, when scanned, shows one type of DataMan device.

The second code is supposed to show location of the item.

The third code is meant to designate quantity.

7. Make sure the blinking cursor is in the Inventory Demo application’s Item text box on

the DM9500 device.

8. Scan the first code, DMR-200Q-00. See that the DataMan Demonstrator displays the

Product Image associated with the item, and also the code that the reader sees

(Reader Image).
