Field | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Environment | Specifies the type of environmental conditions in which the reader operates. Along with the regulatory configuration of the reader, the environment field sets the default link profile parameters (such as, Miller mode, BLF, and Tari) and the receiver dynamic range (interference immunity).
| |
Filtering | Allows you to filter reads based on their RFID tag ID. If no filter is specified, all reads are considered. | |
Filter Type | Specifies whether and how to filter the tags that the reader reads and reports.
| |
Match | Specifies the segment of the tag ID to match or the method to use to match. Select between the following options: PREFIX , SUFFIX , and REGEX . | |
Value | Specifies the value to match. For prefix and suffix filters, enter only hexadecimal digits, and the number of digits must be even. When a prefix filter is used, selects cannot be used. For a regex filter, use C++ STL regex values. | |
Operation | Specifies the filter operation. Select between INCLUDE and EXCLUDE . | |
Radio Start Conditions | Specifies when, after you issue a Start command, the radio starts trying to inventory tags. | |
Type | Specifies the type of start after you issue a Start command.
| |
Port | Specifies whether to receive the GPI on port 1 or 2 . | |
Signal | Specifies whether to start on a HIGH or LOW signal level. | |
Debounce Time | Specifies the duration that the GPI must remain at the specified signal level to trigger the event (that is, the start). | |
Radio Stop Conditions | Specifies when an ongoing operation should complete. If not specified, the radio continues trying to inventory tags until you issue a Stop command. | |
Duration | Specifies the duration to run until the radio stops. | |
Antenna Cycles | Specifies the number of cycles through all enabled antennas before the radio stops. | |
Type | Specifies to stop based on the tags read.
| |
GPI | Port1 /Port2 | Specifies whether to wait for a general-purpose input (GPI) to stop the radio. It also specifies the port on which to receive the GPI, either port 1 or 2 . If the field is blank, a GPI is not used. |
Signal | Specifies whether to stop on a HIGH or LOW signal level. | |
Debounce Time | Specifies the duration that the GPI must remain at the specified signal level to trigger the event (that is, stop). | |
Delays | After selects | Specifies the duration, in milliseconds, to wait after issuing the final select before issuing a query. If absent, the minimum time is used. Possible values are from 0ms to 65ms (integer). |
Type | Specifies to introduce a delay between antenna cycles if no tags are read or if no unique tags are read. This allows the reader to share the spectrum if there are no tags to be read. Possible values are the following. The default is NO_UNIQUE_TAGS .
| |
Duration | Specifies the delay duration between antenna cycles if Delay Between Antenna Cycles is set to NO_TAGS or NO_UNIQUE_TAGS . For DISABLED , Delay Duration must be 0 seconds; otherwise, it must be a non-zero value. Since the default is NO_UNIQUE_TAGS , the default delay duration is 75 milliseconds. | |
Reporting | Controls when and how often a tag is reported. | |
Type | Configures the timeout by antenna or for the entire radio.
| |
Duration | Specifies the duration to wait to report a tag again after it has already been reported. As long as the reader is reading the tag, it will not report unless the time since the previous report of this tag on this antenna meets the type and duration. | |
Field | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Transmit Power | TX Power | Specifies the transmit power, in dBm. Drag the bar to the required transmit value (a value between 0 - 40). Account for the combined reader power and antenna gain, ensuring optimal performance and . |
Query | Controls which tags are scanned, how collisions are handled, and how tag states are managed. | |
Population | Specifies the approximate number of RFID tags expected in the antenna's read zone. | |
Sel | Specifies the subset of tags to query based on the specified criteria. This helps the reader differentiate between tags in different sessions to avoid redundant reads or collisions.
| |
Session | Specifies the session used to manage a tag's state during inventory operations. Tags can maintain their state across four different sessions ( S0 , S1 , S2 , S3 ), allowing multiple readers or antennas to work in the same environment without interfering with each other. Set Session to match how long tags need to maintain their state. For example, in a single reader/antenna environment with quick repeated scans, set Session to S0 to reset the tags' state more frequently. In environments with multiple readers/antennas operating in the same area, use S1 , S2 , S3 . | |
Target | Specifies the tag state (A or B) that the reader should query during scanning. Tags alternate between A and B states to help readers keep track which tags have already been read.
| |
Stop Condition | Type | Specifies the stop condition.
|
Selects | Action | Determines how the reader sets or modifies the SL flag and A/B state of tags during preselection. This allows the reader to identify which tags should be included in inventory operations when Sel is set to SL or Not SL . The action is only applied to the subset of tags that meet the Selects criteria (Membank , Target , and the other filters).
|
Membank | Specifies which memory bank of the RFID tag the reader interacts with during operations. RFID tags have multiple memory banks, each storing specific types of data. This setting determines where the reader reads from or writes to on the tag.
| |
Target | Specifies the tag session that the reader will target during preselection.
| |
Pointer | Specifies the starting bit address (or offset) in the tag's memory bank where the reader should begin applying the selection operation. The reader starts matching from this bit address and applies the Mask and Length to determine if the tag meets the selection criteria. For example, it allows you to filter tags based on a specific portion of your EPC. | |
Length | Specifies the number of bits in the tag's memory (starting from the Pointer ) that the reader will evaluate for the Select command. | |
Mask | Specifies the exact bit pattern that the reader will compare against the tag's memory content (within the range defined by the Pointer and Length ). Specify a binary or hexadecimal value that represents the pattern the reader must look for in the tag's memory. | |
Truncate | Specifies whether the reader should truncate the tag's memory response after the matched portion (defined by the Pointer , Length , and Mask ). | |
Accesses | Type | Specifies the type of operation the reader will execute on the tag’s memory or security features during the access command .
