7.3 Sorting Mode
The Standalone module of the STX on-board software application features a Sorting mode. In
normal conditions, each tag frame is sent to the host PC or PLC as soon as it is decoded by the
TR-L100 reader.
In Sorting mode, the tags are sorted by the TR-L100 reader before the tag frames are sent to the
host PC or PLC. The tags are sorted by a combination of three parameters selected by the user.
• Buffer depth: between 1 and 50 frames
• Timeout per tag: between 500 milliseconds and 5 minutes
• Reader sorts tags by antenna or regroups all tags into a single group
7.4 Reading Mode
Tags can be read by one of two Reading modes. In Continuous Reading mode, the TR-L100
reader continually reads tags.
A Trigger Reading mode is also available. In this mode, tags can be read either at the high or low
state of the trigger. Tag data is sent to the host PC or PLC by the TR-L100 as soon as it is
decoded or at the end of the trigger. The sending of a No Read signal can also be selected.
In Trigger Reading mode, the RF field is switched on only when the trigger is activated.
7.5 Watchdog
A Watchdog function is available. Using the L200 Explorer, select Activate Watchdog and enter the
Repetition Delay and Message parameters.
