DataMan Multi-Reader Sync Configuration
Overview
If you have multiple DataMan fixed-mount readers connected to the same network, you can configure multiple readers to use group triggering. Readers configured to use group triggering all acquire an image simultaneously, and then combine their individual read results to form a composite result.
There are two important aspects to group triggering:
- Readers configured for group triggering consolidate reader results from among all readers in the group and transmit them from the primary reader only. This simplifies the task of collecting and processing read results from multiple readers.
- Readers configured for group triggering can be triggered simultaneously based on a single input trigger signal received by the primary reader.
Multi-Reader Sync configurations are typically used to expand the field of view for broad conveyor applications and to read codes from multiple surfaces of packages or objects:
