Installing the HawkEye™ 5xT GUI
We recommend you install the GUI after you inspect the package contents.
• For USB connection, you must install the GUI and use the Wedge
functionality to redirect the decoded data to the active Windows program
(e.g., Notepad).
• For RS-232 connection, two connection modes are supported:
– The RS-232 Terminal mode uses the standard RS-232 protocol and
allows the decoded data to go into a serial device or program such as a
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or Windows HyperTerminal.
– The RS-232 GUI mode has additional protocol that only communicates
with the GUI. The GUI should be installed for image display or
prefix/suffix programming.
The HawkEye 5xT GUI installation program installs the GUI software and the
optional USB driver. The USB driver is needed only for USB connection and is
not required for RS-232 connection. For RS-232 connection, we still recommend
that you install the USB driver in case you need to support the USB connection
later on.
If you plan to install the USB driver, do so before you plug in the HE5xT USB
cable to the PC's USB port. If the cable is plugged in before the driver is
installed, Windows displays Found New Hardware Wizard. Click Cancel, then
unplug the USB cable from the PC.
Use the following procedure to install the GUI and the optional USB driver:
1. Insert the HawkEye™ 5xT GUI software CD into the CD drive.
2. Navigate to Setup.exe.
3. Run Setup.exe and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. In the Select Components screen, HE5xT USB Driver is selected and will be
installed by default. If you will never use the USB connection, follow Step 5
to complete the installation of the GUI program. To use the USB connection,
follow Steps 6 through 11 to complete the installation of the GUI program.
5. For RS-232 connection only and no USB connection, you can choose to
de-select the HE5xT USB Driver component, and click Next to continue.
Follow the instructions to complete the installation of the GUI software.

Scanning Guidelines
Getting reasonable images of non-paper type marks requires some practice. You
will be more successful by following these recommendations:
• For small marks, place the reader near the Data Matrix mark surface. With
some experimenting, you will quickly find it needs to be near contact for
small marks but has a good working range (up to two inches (50 mm)) for
larger marks.
• Always hold the reader such that the front plane of the plastic pipe (called
the LytePyte™) is parallel to the mark surface and the Data Matrix is
centered in the LytePyte™. This helps create a more uniform image of the
Data Matrix mark.
Note: It may be necessary to slightly tilt the reader when reading marks on
mirror-like surfaces.
• Hold the reader steady while pulling the trigger. If you release the trigger
immediately, the reader only captures one image and signals a pass or fail
after analyzing this image. It is better to hold the trigger without releasing it
so that the reader will keep trying until the reading is successful or up to 10
images have been tried (the default).
• When switching between marks on different substrates, etc., the reader can
automatically adjust the camera settings to yield the highest read
performance. When reading such marks, press and hold the trigger; the
reader will image the part multiple times and choose the best setting. The
reader is now ready to read the mark.

CHAPTER 2 Configuring the Reader Using
Programming Codes
The Reader programming codes allow you to:
• Reset operation and factory parameters
• Turn the beeper on and off
• Set the trigger
• Set the cell size of the Data Matrices that will be read
It’s a three step process to change the reader configuration by scanning
programming Data Matrix codes:
1. Scan the Enter Data Matrix code to enter programming mode. Four beeps
will sound after a successful scan.
2. Scan one or more programming codes to change the configuration. Three
beeps will sound after a successful scan.
3. Scan the Exit Data Matrix code to exit programming mode and go back to
normal scan mode. Three beeps will sound after a successful scan.
Notes: The new configuration will not take effect until you scan the Exit
programming Data Matrix code to return the reader to normal scan
(non-programming) mode.
Chapter 2Configuring the Reader Using Programming Codes
2-2 HawkEye™ 50T/51T User Manual Rev 1.1.0, February 2007
In programming mode, the reader will only read programming Data Matrix
codes. It will NOT read any Data Matrix that can be successfully read in normal
scan mode.
New settings persist through power cycles.
Programming Examples
Example 1 — Reset Reader to Factory Defaults
To reset the reader settings to factory default (see “Reset Factory Defaults” on
page 2-3):
1. Scan the Enter Data Matrix code, and hear four beeps.
2. Scan the Reset Factory Data Matrix code and hear three beeps.
3. Scan the Exit Data Matrix code and hear three beeps.
Example 2 — Turn Off Beeper & Change Trigger Behavior
To turn off the beeper and change the trigger behavior (see “Beeper” on page 2-4
& “Trigger” on page 2-5):
1. Scan the Enter Data Matrix code, and hear four beeps.
2. Scan the Beeper Off Data Matrix code and hear three beeps.
3. Scan the While Trigger Pressed - Read Once (0 retries) Data Matrix
code and hear three beeps.
4. Scan the Exit Data Matrix code and hear three beeps.
Now, the reader will only scan once each time you pull the trigger, regardless of
whether you hold or release it. You will no longer hear a beep while the LED
turns green after a successful scan. To reset to factory settings, follow Example 1.

UID Validation
The HE5xT unit complies with MIL-STD-130, ISO 15434, and ISO 15418 to
construct a Unique Items Identifier (UII). This UID validation is applicable to
Data Matrix only and has no effect on other symbologies. Four mutually
exclusive UII options are supported and described as follows:
•UII DM On/Off — The HE5xT is configured to construct UII only. If the
decoded data contains a valid UII, only a UII string is outputted. If a Data
Matrix with invalid UII is decoded, the HE5xT beeps to indicate decode
success but does not output any data.
•UII/ISO 15434 DM On/Off — The HE5xT is configured to construct UII or
any ISO 15434 compliance data. If the decoded data is UID compliant, then
only a UII string is outputted. If the decoded data is ISO 15434 compliant
but non-UII compliant, then the output data uses the output format described
below. If the decoded data is neither UII nor ISO 15434 compliant, the
HE5xT beeps to indicate decode success but does not output any data.
•UII DM with Data Field On/Off — The HE5xT is configured to construct
UII with additional data fields. The data is displayed following the output
format below.

a. UII type, if the UII field is Constructed UII data.
List of UII types:
ESN: Electronic Serial Identifier for Cellular Mobile Telephones
GIAI: Global Individual Asset Identifier
GRAI: Global Returnable Asset Identifier
GRAI_GIAI: either GRAI or GIAI
UII0: a TEI with UID as a data qualifier
UII1: construct #1
UII2: construct #2
USN: Universal Serial Number
UST: Universal Serial Tracking Number
VIN: Vehicle Identification Numbers
b. Format Indicator, if the UII field is “(15434)”.
List of format indicators:
05: Application Identifiers
06: Data Identifiers
12: Text Element Identifiers
DD: The DoD assigned Format Indicator for TEI
GS1_05: The GS1 format for Application Identifiers
c. Original decoded data, if the UII field is error message.
• DF1 - DF7 — These are additional defaults and display up to seven data
elements. If there are more than seven elements, only the first seven are
displayed. If the number of data elements is less than seven, then the rest of
data fields are empty. If the UII field is (error message), DF1 - DF7 are
empty strings.
Note: For option UII/ISO 15434 DM on, if the UII field is “(15434)”, then
data elements of ISO 15434 are displayed in DF1 - DF7.
Only one of the four options can be turned on at any given time by scanning the
following programming codes. Turning on a new option automatically turns off
the previous UII option. To turn off the UII option, either scan the Off
programming code corresponding to the UII option or scan all four Off
programming codes.

•Communication — Selects COM1 – COM8, or USB.
– Ensure the reader is in USB GUI mode before selecting USB
connection.
– Ensure the reader is in RS-232 GUI mode before selecting the correct
COM port. If the reader is still connected to a standard RS-232 program
such as the Windows HyperTerminal program, you need to disconnect
the COM port connection from the program, then scan the RS-232 GUI
programming code.
Note: When an RS-232 reader is connected to the GUI, to reconnect to a
standard RS-232 device, you must exit the GUI then scan the RS-232
Terminal code with correct baud rate.
•Uploading Image Size — The image size is one of the following:
– 1024x1024 — When set to 1024x1024, the image loads very slowly (for
RS-232 connection).
– 512x512 — 2:1 sample in height and width. This is the default.
– 256x256 — 4:1 sample in height and width.
– 128x128 — 8:1 sample in height and width.
For RS-232 communication, we recommend that you use the default of
512x512 (or a smaller size) to reduce your wait time as the image loads.

Note: The image uploaded covers the full range of the field of view (FOV).
The image size specified determines how the image is sampled for upload.
•Prefix and Suffix — Allows you to add prefix and suffix to the decoded
data output.
FIGURE 3–4. Data Formatting Dialog Box
Enter Prefix and Suffix strings in the edit boxes for Prefix and Suffix,
respectively. Each string is up to 12 character long. To enter an unprintable
character, use the format \xYZ, where YZ is the hex representation of the
ASCII value of the character. For example, Carriage Return and Line Feed
can be entered as \x0d\x0a. See Appendix B, “Table of ASCII Control
Characters,” for a list of unprintable ASCII characters. The default Prefix
string is empty; the default Suffix string is \x0d\x0a.
The check box Use Prefix/Suffix represents the state when the Prefix/Suffix
is enabled. The default state is that Prefix and Suffix are used. Unchecking
Use Prefix/Suffix disables the use of the prefix and suffix even though the
strings are still saved in the reader firmware.
Note: Characters with ASCII values higher than 7E are not allowed.

•Wedge — Wedge mode redirects decoded data from the HawkEye™
50T/51T reader to the active Windows program as though you typed them in
from the keyboard. Wedge mode is necessary for the USB connection but
also may be used for RS-232 cable connection in RS-232 GUI mode.
To enable Wedge mode:
a. Make sure the reader is connected to the GUI using the USB GUI or
RS-232 GUI mode.
b. Select Configure > Wedge > Enable Wedge to enable Wedge mode.
c. Open Windows Notepad and ensure it is the active program (by clicking
on it once).
d. Scan a Data Matrix with the HawkEye™ 50T/51T reader. The decoded
data will be displayed in the Notepad program.
After you enable Wedge mode, the GUI can be minimized into the Windows
System Tray. To display the GUI again, either double click on the icon or
right click on the icon and then select Show GUI. When Wedge mode is not
enabled, the GUI is minimized to the Windows Taskbar instead.
When Wedge mode is enabled, the following options are supported:
–Display Unprintable Data — By default, this is disabled. If the
decoded data from the HawkEye™ 50T/51T contains unprintable
characters such as GS, RS, and EOT used in a UID Data Matrix, the
unprintable characters are replaced with a question mark ‘?’ when the
data is displayed in the GUI and the active Windows program. Enabling
Display Unprintable Data allows the unprintable characters to be
displayed in the decoded data in the format of \xYZ where YZ is the
Hex value of characters.
Two special unprintable characters CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line
Feed) are never displayed as either ‘?” or the ASCII value with Wedge
enabled. They will always be shown as moving to the first character
position of the next line as Enter from the keyboard.
Chapter 3HawkEye™ 5xT Graphical User Interface

–Combine CR and LF — Is either of the following:
• Disabled (Default) — When the decoded data contains both CR and
LF, then each will cause the cursor to move to the next line.
• Enabled — The combination of two unprintable characters CR and
LF or LF and CR will result in a single Enter in the active Windows
program.
Example: The Data Matrix in Figure 3-4 is used to illustrate how unprintable
characters are displayed. The data encoded in the Data Matrix is the first 32
unprintable characters with ASCII values from 00 to 1F, plus the Space
character, and the string 0123456789, for a total of 43 characters.
With Wedge enabled, LF (\x0A) and CR (\x0D) are displayed by moving the
cursor to the beginning of the next line in Notepad:
– If Display Unprintable Data is disabled (unchecked), the decoded data is
shown in the GUI and in Notepad.
