Multicode Capability
The DataMan 100 readers now support the ability to read multiple codes in the field of view! "Multicode" provides the ability to read multiple codes in a single image (single or self trigger mode) or in a sequence of images (burst trigger mode) with DataMan 100 Series readers. The reader is able to read different code types (1D/Stacked, DataMatrix, QR) at the same time, and can read up to 128 codes at once!
In addition, the reader can also store a ‘train' model for each code type (1D/Stacked, DataMatrix, QR) for even more robust reading.
Burst Mode Trigger Mode Improvements
The ease-of-use in setting up burst trigger mode applications has been significantly improved. It is now possible to view a complete sequence of burst mode images in a filmstrip, to allow for adjusting settings of trigger delay, burst length and interval between acquisitions to better match the specific application.
QR Code Improvements
The QR code performance has been improved when reading under perspective distortion, especially on high-contrast labels.
VeriCode® Capability
DataMan 100 Series readers now also have the ability to support VeriCode® symbology. The VeriCode reading capability is not enabled in the basic system and requires the purchase of a license file from VeriTech in order to use the feature.
Customizable Trigger Commands
Provides a new alternative trigger option for use with the DMCC serial commands. Default serial trigger on/off commands are +/-, but now can be edited to any new user defined commands. Allows the DataMan products to more easily replace competitive systems that are interfaced to legacy systems.
