shown on the UDK board. Mount using the screws provided in the kit.

2. Install the “PL” decoder board to the four holes in the middle of the UDK board labeled "A" using screws,

spacer/washer and nuts provided in the kit.

3. Install two flexes as follows. First, install one end of the “SE” engine flex into the smaller connector on the

decoder board and the other end into the engine. Next, install one end of the decoder board host flex into
J23 on the UDK board and the other end into the larger connector on the “PL” decoder board.

GETTING STARTED 1 - 3

NOTE SE6700/PL6707: Install the dark shielded flex into the SE6700 camera connector with the flex pins

positioned towards the center of the SE6700 (i.e., mate the metal area of the flex with the metal pins of the
connector). Mate the other end of the flex with the PL6707 camera connector (the connector located on
the side of the board with few components present (i.e., the connector on the side opposite the
microprocessor). Ensure the latches on both sides are pressed in securely.

Install the white host flex to connector J23 on the UDK board and other end to the PL6707 host connector.
The PL6707 connector is on the same side as the microprocessor. Ensure the metal connection on the
flex aligns with the metal connection connectors - the connector latch must be lifted to enable the flex to
slide in. When the flex is in place, press down securely to latch the flex.

The heat sink on the bottom of the SE6700 fits into the cut out area of the UDK board.

Simple Serial Interface

The Simple Serial Interface (SSI) provides a cost effective, highly integrated, flexible protocol for designing bar

code scanning applications and Auto-ID markets using Zebra’s broad range of engines. SSI provides a

communications link between Zebra's decoded engines and a serial host.

Symbol Native Application Programming Interface (SNAPI)

The Symbol Native Application Programming Interface (SNAPI) is a development library used to implement
USB communication between a Zebra decoder and a Windows 98/2000/XP host. SNAPI is a
transaction-based protocol that enables communication with SNAPI devices over USB. The SNAPI DLL
implements:

•

USB HID communications

•

SNAPI USB imaging driver communications

•

SNAPI message building

•

SNAPI protocol handling for a communications link between Zebra scanners and a Windows host.

For the lastest SNAPI SDK, visit: http://www.zebra.com/support/product/DKSE-2000.html

Development Board

The UDK PCB accommodates multiple scope probes, debug aids, and provides a large work area for
developers. The board also has many ground and VCC posts so users can easily probe and simulate logic
levels on scanner lines.

Since the board supports all decoded engines, instructions for configuring the board to an engine is
silk-screened on the board.

NOTE Not all connectors provided on the board are used with every engine.

Quick Installation

The following installation procedure is typical for most development applications, and does not address all
board features. For detailed debugging and testing, see the appropriate sections of this guide.

1. Install the four white PCB standoffs (included in the kit) by snapping them into the corresponding holes in

the corners of the UDK board.

2. Mount the engine on the development board. See UDK Contents on page 1-2 and Mounting

CONSIDERATIONS

Introduction

The UDK is a universal development board for all Zebra data capture engines. The board supports the

decoded imaging solutions SE6700/PL6707, SE3300/PL3307, SE4500/PL4507, and SE655, and laser-based

engines such as the SE955, SE965, SE1223 and SE1524. The board includes a detailed silk screen to assist

in installation and use of the engines during development. The following section describes each part of the

board.

Board Functional Descriptions

The following sections detail the specific components on the board. Figure 1-1 on page 1-5 indicates each

component or group of components on the assembly in outlined areas, by block number.

2 - 2 UNIVERSAL SCAN ENGINE DEVELOPER’S KIT INSTALLATION GUIDE

Power Configuration - Block 1

Block one (1) represents board power configuration and selection. Since the UDK board supports many
decoded engines, configure the power supplied to the engine to the voltage specified in Table 1, which is
silk-screened on the PCB. To set engine power, populate jumpers on J29 according to the figures
silk-screened on the PCB in the section labeled Board Power Selection. The electrical schematic and jumper
configurations are shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. For the selected voltage, attach a jumper to J29 where
a rectangle is drawn.

Figure 2-1

Figure 2-2

In addition to configuring the voltage to the engine, populate a jumper to supply power to the particular engine
being used. Populate the jumper on the appropriate power enable header according to Ta ble 2 -1 . As an
alternative to the jumper, place an ammeter across this power enable header to measure the current draw of
the engine.

Electrical Schematic

NOTE For the SE4500/PL4507, choose 3.3V settings on J29.

Jumper Configurations for Power

ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS 2 - 3

An external power supply connected to J1 supplies the power, regardless of whether the USB connection is

used. If no power supply is connected to J1, all power is supplied to the UDK board and scan engine through

the USB connection. Ensure the power switch located near the power jack (J1) is in the ON position to enable

power to the UDK board and scan engine. The red LED adjacent to J1 indicates that the UDK board is

powered, and is on even if the appropriate power enable header does not have the necessary jumper.

NOTE Not all Zebra engines support the USB interface.

The jumper pad in Figure 2-3 provides three power options (indicated on the silk screen) for the PL4407,
PL4507, and PL6707.

USB subsystem:

•

Supply the USB system with +5 V from the DC power jack (J1). To do this (based on the silk screen),
install the jumper on J12 pins 1-2.

•

Supply the USB system with +5 V from the USB bus via connector J25. To do this (based on the silk
screen), install the jumper on J12 pins 3-4. DO NOT install the power supply in J1; the power switch (S4)
still controls the power to the board.

•

For the PL4407 and PL6707 only: Supply the USB system with +3.3 V. To do this (based on the silk

screen), install the jumper on J12 pins 7-8, then drive 3.3 V in terminal T5 located next to J12. Ensure the
external supply is also referenced to the board ground which can be located on J10 or any of the four
black test posts (T1, T2, T3, and T7).

2 - 6 UNIVERSAL SCAN ENGINE DEVELOPER’S KIT INSTALLATION GUIDE

Signal Breakout - Block 4

Block four (4) contains multiple jumper pads including J9, J19, J26, J27, J11, J17, J18, J14, and J21 shown in

Figure 2-5. These jumpers provide test points for probing all logic signals to and from the engine. This block

also functions as a break-out pad so jumpers can be removed and the signal between the engine and the host
can be isolated and driven externally by another source.

Figure 2-5

The break out pads are the dual row headers J17, J18, J14, and J21 from left to right as they appear on the
board and in Figure 2-5. The signals mapped to these headers are silk screened between these headers and
the single row headers J9, J27, J26, J19, and J20. The single row headers are test points for probing, and are
connected directly to the engine signals that propagate from J23/J4/J8. Install the jumpers on the dual row
headers to connect these signals to the rest of the board including the board connectors, LEDs, and beeper.
Remove the jumpers on the dual row headers to break this connection and access either node of the signal.

Signal Breakout Jumpers

ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS 2 - 7

External Illumination Interface - Block 5 (Imager Engine Systems)

If necessary, add an external illumination system which is controlled and powered from the UDK through

connector J22, according to Ta b le 2-3 . Use header J28 to select either 3.0 V/3.3 V or 5 V to power the external

illumination system, according to the jumper setting shown in Figure 2-6. When using the 3.0 V/3.3 V setting,

the jumper settings on the Board Power Selection header J29 determine the illumination voltage.

GLOSSARY

A

Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.

API. An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually used to

refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function calls

Application Programming Interface. See API.

ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters,

numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.

Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this

determination is made, the information content is decoded.

B

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.

Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in

machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data
or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each
recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).

Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.

Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the

same bar.

BIOS. Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with standard

PC hardware.

Glossary - 2 UNIVERSAL SCAN ENGINE DEVELOPER’S KIT INSTALLATION GUIDE

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of

data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.

Boot or Boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run

self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software.

BOOTP. A protocol for remote booting of diskless devices. Assigns an IP address to a machine and may specify a boot

file. The client sends a bootp request as a broadcast to the bootp server port (67) and the bootp server responds

using the bootp client port (68). The bootp server must have a table of all devices, associated MAC addresses and

IP addresses.

bps. See Bits Per Second.

Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific

character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in

memory is used to store one ASCII character.

C

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety.

This agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsically safe, even if all

laser output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.

CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class

poses no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.

Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a

number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.

Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.

T

TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar

systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP

transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a
routable protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the address of the destination station, but the
address of a destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be sent to multiple networks within an
organization or around the world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP
network requires an IP address, which is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.
