What is the Process Monitor?

As it operates, a DataMan reader logs statistics such as the number of triggers received, the number of symbols read (and not read), and the number of trigger overruns. You can view or request these statistics using a variety of means. For example, you can connect VisionView Application Software to monitor the decode attempts from any reader, or establish a connection using the DataMan Control Commands (DMCC) interface and retrieve log information over a serial or Telnet connection.

By default, a DataMan reader stops generating statistics about decode attempts when connected to the Setup Tool. To re-enable process statistics when connected to the Setup Tool, you must start the Process Monitor. Even if you establish multiple connections to a single reader, such as using both the Setup Tool and VisionView Application Software, the reader will not log decoding statistics unless you enable the Process Monitor.
