TIME MODE (see §2.5): the number of milliseconds a tag must appear in an acquisition
before it shifts from “glimpsed” to “observed”
Lost:
READCYCLE MODE: the number of subsequent times an observed tag must disappear
from an acquisition before it shifts from “observed”” to “lost”
TIME MODE: the number of milliseconds an observed tag must disappear from an
acquisition before it shifts from “observed”” to “lost”
Read Cycle: the number of times an acquisition must be timed out and then restarted
Confirm settings by clicking on <Configure>.
Thresholds are meaningful only with Asynchronous Acquisition (see §
2.5)
2.5. Detecting test tags with the RF field
Now the Reader is ready for detecting tags; click on either:
<Synchronous Acquisition>
<Asynchronous Acquisition>
With Synchronous Acquisition, a “one shot” readout is performed.
Asynchronous Acquisition allows to perform either Timed Acquisition or a I/O Timed-
out acquisition.
In the first place it is necessary to set the “Event mode” by clicking on:
Configuration>Configure Event Mode
The following window opens:
Fig. 2.7 – Event mode configuration
If READCYCLE MODE is selected, the logical source thresholds are expressed in cycles,
whose duration is equal to the Delay time set when Asynchronous Acquisition is
launched.
If TIME MODE is selected, the logical source thresholds are expressed in milliseconds; it
must be noticed that the thresholds might not be multiple of the delay time, so a tag can
change its status after a non-integer number of cycles.
If NOEVENT MODE is selected, the tags are continuously scanned, the threshold values
are meaningless (the tag is considered either inside or outside the reader’s field and no
Glimpsed/Observed status is notified)
After changing Event Mode it is necessary to restart both the Reader and the RFID
