The DataMan 25.2.0 Setup Tool Software supports all active DataMan products, including a common Setup Tool. It contains the 6.2.9 firmware for the DataMan 8700 series readers, which introduces the support for the new Handheld WebUI. It also delivers new firmware for all active DataMan products.

The DataMan 25.2.0 Setup Tool Software release further refines and supplements the functionality of DataMan 25.1.0 with general enhancements, bugfixes, and the latest documentation.

Firmware Version 7.0.0 SR1 (DataMan 290 Platform) and 7.1.0 SR1 (DataMan 390 Platform)

• Features for the Fixed-Mount WebUI:
  • Upload Image: you can upload an image through a dedicated menu or drag-and-drop, and rerun it.
  • Train Image: you can train a code on an uploaded image.
  • Save Image: the last image is saved as full lossless PNG. You can also save earlier images from the Result History in the Runtime step.
  • Cancel or Stop Tuning: Cancel reverts to former settings, Stop immediately ends Tuning with the best candidate found.
  • Industrial Protocols: added Modbus TCP to Industrial Ethernet.
  • You can access advanced metrics for Tuning in the Details dropdown: exposure, gain, focus, HDR, ambient light percentage.
  • New Optimize Brightness and Optimize Focus options are available under Image Acquisition in the Review substep.
• New features for the DM290 and DM390 platforms:
  • Added Pharmacode symbology to DM290 and DM390. Pharamacode is disabled by default and has to be enabled in Setup Tool.

  • Fixed an issue with ROI adjustments during Live mode.
  • Fixed an issue with the image shifting vertically and being partly visible in Tuning.
  • Fixed issues with SBG being enabled when codes are only partly seen or Scale filter is in use.
  • Fixed an issue with PROFINET where a no-read did not fully clear out a previous result.
  • Fixed an issue with multi-code where switching the Partial Results control did not update.

Firmware Version 6.4.2 SR2 (DataMan 580 Platform) and 6.5.2 SR2 (DataMan 380 Platform)

• Added the OVERRIDE-DIMS-ORIGIN.ENABLED DMCC for overriding 3D coordinate systems when using barcode assignment with tray sorters.
• Improved scripting by expanded memory allocation, new error messages and exception handling.
• Added a new device log entry to capture dropped results from the secondary reader of a Multi-Reader Sync group.
• Added the option to remove images from the image buffer based on a configurable distance.
• Added support for the ALT + TAB key combination in HID mode.
• Fixed a bug where the ETH1 port did not select the correct DNS and operational gateway.

Firmware Version 6.3.7 SR1 (DataMan 80 and 280 Platforms)

• The reader now handles shifting edge delimiters for CODE128 barcodes.
• Added support for Pharmacode symbology.
• Fixed issues with SBG being enabled when codes are only partly seen or Scale filter is in use.

Firmware Version 6.2.9 (DataMan 8700 Platform)

• This firmware introduces a fully guided setup process through a next-generation WebUI for the DataMan 8700 readers, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the DataMan Setup Tool:
  • Browser-based connection using hostname, MAC address, or serial number. No download required.
  • Secure WebUI connection, with support for HTTPS and password protection.
• Other improvements on the DM8700 platform:
  • Support for the ALT + TAB key combination in HID mode.
  • Wireless readers will charge and not go to sleep in a charging-only base station.

Firmware Version 6.1.16 SR2 (DataMan 370 and 470 Platforms)

• Fixed a bug where Disable all symbologies control did not disable CBC symbology.
• Fixed a bug causing EIP to operate on stale user data if the soft event and the user data are set within the same PLC cycle.

General Notes for DataMan 25.2.0

• Fixed a bug where the verification report did not display correctly in non-English languages.
• Added virtual devices and backup/restore configuration support for DM280 EC.

DataMan Setup Tool is the software used by legacy and newly released DataMan products, enabling the installation and operation of DataMan image-based barcode readers.

Intelligent functions and features

• DataMan Setup Tool shows read result history and captures images in real-time for user review.
• Intelligent auto-tuning automatically adjusts lighting, focus, and other variable conditions for codes on various parts and surfaces.

Application assistants provide visual guidance

• Basic and advanced visual application guidance quickly and reliably optimizes complex parameters for simple and challenging barcode reading applications.
• Application assistants help select the correct trigger source, defining exposure and interval settings.

Data collection and performance feedback

• DataMan Setup Tool provides a visual dashboard of system performance so operators can identify and resolve issues quickly.

Barcode verification

• For DataMan barcode verifiers, the DataMan Setup Tool software calculates an overall code grade based on several quality parameters. Detailed results show whether codes meet industry standards and auto-generated reports can be used to demonstrate compliance, as well as help pinpoint printing and process control issues.
