Powerful Direct Part Mark Data Matrix reader in a cost effective package
DataMouse Pro
The DataMouse Pro has been developed
specifically to read the toughest Data Matrix
direct part marks (DPM). The DataMouse on
contact approach blocks out ambient light
and sets the optimum focus. This allows the intelligent
multi angle, multi intensity lighting to create
the best real-time on-screen image possible for
Data Matrix decoding.
The DataMouse connects
to a PC/Laptop via the USB2.0 connector and requires
no external power supply making a laptop connected
DataMouse a truly portable solution.
Features
Compact, Lightweight & Ergonomic design.
Multi Angle, Multi Intensity Automatic and
programmable Lighting
Real-time on-screen video display
Powerful low contrast Data Matrix decode algorithms
USB2.0 PC interface
High Resolution 5 Mega-Pixel CMOS imager,
for reading very small codes.
Built-in IUID MIL130-STD syntax checker.
Capable of reading Data Matrix marks applied
using various marking methods
Dot Peen
Laser
Electro-chemical etching
Ink-Jet
Printed Labels
Any other high contrast marking or printing
methods
The PC software Medusa 4 features
a powerful decode engine which allows the decoded information
to be modified and transferred in the following ways.
Display on screen with decode history screen
Keyboard Wedge (Simply types the information at
the PCs cursor)
Write to file (Append, overwrite or new file every
time
Write to Database using ODBC connection string
and SQL
Write to RS232 port
