Installing the DataMan Setup Tool and Connecting the Device

Perform the following steps to install the DataMan software on the PC you will use to configure the settings for each DataMan device:

1. Check the DataMan Release Notes for a full list of system requirements.
2. Download the DataMan Setup Tool from http://www.cognex.com/support/dataman and follow the on-screen steps.

   If the installation utility does not start automatically, double-click the setup.exe file in the download folder.

3. Connect your DataMan device to your PC.
4. Choose Start->Cognex->DataMan Software vX.X.X->Setup Tool to launch the Setup Tool (where vX.X.X stands for the relevant revision of the software).
5. If you connect DataMan devices through USB/serial, click Refresh to have the Setup Tool auto-detect them. For network devices, the Setup Tool automatically refreshes the list.

   Any DataMan device available over your network will appear in the Connect menu.

6. Select a COM port listing or Network device listing corresponding to your DataMan device and click Connect.
