Scripting - Cognex DataMan 475 Reference Manual

Auto 80%
The application automatically chooses an aperture size based on 80% of the X-dimension.
Auto Aperture for 2D Barcodes
The application automatically chooses an aperture size based on the X-dimension in accordance with the suggestion in
ISO/IEC 15415.
X-Dimension
≤ 6 mil
6 mil < x ≤ 7.5 mil
7.5 mil < x ≤ 10 mil
10 mil < x ≤ 20 mil
20 mil < x ≤ 30 mil
≥ 30 mil
Note: AIM-DPM grading (ISO/IEC TR 29158) always selects an aperture automatically based on the X- Dimension
of the decoded symbol, which overrides the above rules. These rules only apply to ISO/IEC 15415 grading when
Auto Aperture is selected.
Auto Aperture for 1D Barcodes
The application automatically chooses an aperture size based on the X-dimension in accordance with the suggestion in
ISO/IEC 15416. For the Generic application standard, the following table is used for most symbologies:
X-Dimension
≤ 7.0 mil
7.1 mil < x ≤ 13 mil
13 mil < x ≤ 25 mil
> 25 mil
For UPC/EAN, regardless of X-dimension or magnification 06 (6 mil)
You can override these rules by specifying a specific aperture directly for any application that requires a specified
aperture. An application specification (such as GS1 Gen Spec, or MIL-STD 129) specifies an aperture value which can
be different than what the rules in the table would yield.

Scripting

Setup Tool allows you to customize a script for outputting results. Scripting can be used to output a wide variety of
information. For more details on customizing and making your own scripts, refer to the DataMan Communications and
Programming Guide. For verification results, two scripting templates are provided listing the most common output
formats for verification results which can be generated to a csv or an html report.
To enable scripting using the scripting templates provided, select the Format Data icon and the radio button for Script-
Based Formatting.
