Note: PTP synchronization and other imager settings do not get synchronized by this mechanism - for example, you
have to configure exposure and gain on each reader individually.
This feature only synchronizes the actual image acquisition, triggering happens through the existing multi-reader sync
mechanism.
Synchronized Acquisition for the DataMan 300, 360, 370, and 470
To set up synchronized acquisition on your reader, enable PTP (Precision Time Protocol) on the Multi-Reader Sync
pane of the DataMan Setup Tool under Synchronized Readers (IE1588).
Perform the following steps:
1. Check Enable PTP.
2. Keep Secondary Camera Only checked if there is already a PTP Primary Reader clock in the network (uncheck
the checkbox otherwise on at least one reader).
3. Enable MRS Synchronized by PTP to synchronize Multi-Reader Sync triggering.
4. Set the Time between Trigger Start and the Synchronized Acquisition Timestamp. This is the time the Primary
Reader adds to the trigger to make sure all devices already received the trigger message before this time stamp
(Primary Reader Only).
5. Set the Local Offset Added to the Synchronized Acquisition Timestamp. This is the time the Secondary
Reader adds to the timestamp to realize offset image acquisitions (Secondary Reader Only).
Synchronized Acquisition for the DataMan 503
Enable Synchronized Exposure on the DataMan Setup Tool’s Multi-Reader Sync pane. Set the Acquisition Delay (μs)
(relative to the received signal through the synchronization interface) on each reader individually to optionally define an
exposure sequence in case the illumination of some readers might affect other readers.
You also have to set which two readers on the ends of the synchronization interface bus are bus terminators by checking
the End of Sync Cable checkbox for the currently connected devices at the end of a sync cable.
