Cognex DM3816X - Using Your Device through USB; Emulating Serial Functionality

Using your Device through USB
You can utilize the USB connector of the DataMan 380 for emulating serial (USB-COM) functionality.
Emulating Serial Functionality
If you connect a USB-C cable, you can see a COM port in the Windows Device Manager, as a generic USB-COM port.
To emulate serial functionality:
1. Set the USB Connection properties in the Serial tab of the Communication Settings panel in DataMan Setup Tool.
2. Look at the Windows Device Manager to identify the proper device.
3. Enable the Serial-over-USBoption in DataMan Setup Tool, because it is disabled by default.
