AWR250 User Manual
7.6.1.3 Set Online Mode
The Online Mode deals with the format used for sending the EID to the interfaces directly after a
tag has been read. The interface can be USB or Bluetooth. Usually the EID is further processed
on a third party device then, like a weighing indicator or a smartphone. It is important to know
which format is expected by this other device and to configure the correct one.
After selecting ‘Set Online Mode’ a new menu appears. The
first menu item allows to activate or deactivate the Online
Mode completely, the second decides about the format
used for sending the EID.
The Online Mode is switched on per default. When
switched off, the AWR250 will not send the EID to the
interfaces after reading a tag! So it is not recommended to
disable it unless absolutely required.
Select the desired setting using the / / / keys and
confirm with .
Select the correct output format via or and confirm
with .
The default output format is ‘Short ASCII 15’. This is sending the 3-digit country code directly
followed by the 12-digit national ID (no space in between), terminated with <CR><LF>. This
format is quite common and also accepted by most weighing indicators on the market.
A detailed explanation of the AWR250 output formats can be found in the separate document
‘AWR250_Output-Formats_...’.
7.6.1.4 Wireless Sync On/Off
RFID readers according to ISO11784/11785 have activation and listening periods. If two or more
readers operate in close vicinity, they should be synchronized in order to prevent interference and
hence a reduction of reading performance, especially for HDX transponders.
Since it is not possible to synchronize mobile readers wired in the field, Agrident readers offer a
feature called ‘Wireless Synchronization’. This function was mainly invented in order to allow
mobile devices the operation close to stationary readers without interfering with them. But also
several mobile readers can synchronize wirelessly.
