CHAPTER 7 WEB BASED APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Optimize Reader Settings
On each of the Tag List and Readometer screens is a small checkbox option
entitled ‘Optimize Reader Settings’, which by default is checked (a tick mark is
present).
When checked this tells the applet to optimize the reader settings the next time
one of the two applications is started (i.e., the HAL eye turns to red). The
following optimization settings are made to the reader depending on the
application that is started:
Readometer Settings
When the Readometer is started with the optimize option checked, the following
commands are issued to the reader to put it into an optimized state for
readometer readings.
• Set persisttime = 0
• Set TagListFormat = Text
• AutoModeReset
• Set AcquireMode = Global Scroll
When running, the readometer performs repeated bursts of ‘get taglist 25’
followed by a 200 ms pause. The timing results displayed on the screen are
calculated based on each ‘get taglist 25’ command. Thus for optimal timings,
Global Scroll is used for the Acquire Mode.
The auto mode is reset, and left off; the readometer screen always works in
foreground mode.
When the optimize option is turned off, only one command is issued to the reader
when readometer is started:
• Set TagListFormat = Text
Tag List Settings
When the Tag List is started with the optimize option checked, the following
commands are issued to the reader to put it into an optimized state for tag list
readings.
• Set persisttime = -1
• Set TagListFormat = Text
• AutoModeReset
• Set AcquireMode = Inventory
When running, the tag list switches on auto mode, forcing the reader into
autonomous acquisitions as fast as it can. The optimized acquisition mode is
Inventory and the persist time is –1, telling the reader to build up a tag list until
next interrogated. While the reader is building its tag list, the applet periodically
