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 Storage temperature Maximum humidity 0C 40C (32F 104F) -10C 60C (-14F 140F) 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.

DataMan 9500 Reference Manual 11/12/2012 | Version 4.2.2 Page |8

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 Cognexs 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.

DataMan 9500 Reference Manual 11/12/2012 | Version 4.2.2 Page |9

Optics and Lighting

UltraLight banks

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.

Setup Tool Lite Setup Tool Lite

Setup Tool Lite is an interactive user interface for the DataMan 9500. It has a reduced tool set to configure the imager, read and decode images, and display live images. Connect to the Setup Tool on your PC to access the full toolset of configurations. The following sections describe the functions of each pane in the Setup Tool Lite.

Live Display
To access the Live Display function, press the first icon on the upper toolbar. The live image appears on the screen.

To deactivate Live Display, double tap the Live Display button

again.

UltraLight Settings
The UltraLight Settings panel is accessible by tapping the first icon on the lower toolbar:

You have up to four lighting recipes for the device, tailored to different lighting and target surface conditions.
