SET TAGLISTCUSTOMFORMAT

ET TAGLISTCUSTOMFORMAT

The Get and Set TagListCustomFormat allows a customized tag list to be

defined. Once the format has been defined it can be applied by issuing the

command ‘set taglistFormat = custom’

The tagListCustomFormat command takes a single text line argument that

defines how each tag should be represented on-screen. This argument can be

made up of a mixture of text and tokens, where the tokens are defined in the

table below.

When the Nanoscanner is required to print a taglist, the tokens in the custom

format are replaced with their runtime values.

Tokens Description

%i Tag ID with a white space between each pair of bytes i.e.,

8000 00FE 8010 2AB7

%k Tag ID with no spaces between i.e.,

800000FE80102AB7

%d Discovery date of tag, in format YY/MM/DD

%t Discovery time of tag, in format hh:mm:ss

%a Antenna the tag was last seen at

Checksum (CRC) of the tag ID (see programming guide for

more details on the checksum format)

Read Count of tags, i.e., how many times the tag has been

read
