In the primary case, DMB files act as configuration files for Cognex barcode readers. They use a ZIP container to store device settings and are managed with the DataMan Setup Tool. This file holds specific instructions for how the reader should operate.
Other uses include:
  • Byond Dream Maker map: Files used by the Byond game engine to store map layouts and design data.
  • Depth Map Binary: Files that store stereo disparity data in binary form for depth mapping applications.
  • FilExt.com note: Open these files with the appropriate software; for example, use DataMan Setup Tool for the Cognex configuration files, Byond editors for game maps, and specialized imaging tools for depth maps.
