USER MANUAL: T500 Tag Programming Station (TPS) Document A316000-699

Data displayed on "Read a tag"

There are also 5 folder tabs displayed. The folder tabs represent the various areas inside the tag that are

programmable either by the Factory or by the Agency. If a Supervisor can modify a tag field it is displayed as a

selection box (white background areas in the screen).

The fixed Factory data fields and the variable Agency data fields from the Factory/Agency folder tab are

displayed by default.

To display the value read in the interactive Agency (Custom) 7 bit data field

, click on the Agency (Custom)

folder tab.

The 7 bits are a combination of the contiguous 3-bit data field for "Agency Data" and the 4-bit data field for "Type 2 LCD Class". The

parsed data is; MSB Agency data 1 →321 bits followed by MSB Type 2 LCD Class →4321 bits, current values allowed for "Type 2

LCD Class" are 1 through 9 and are assigned by the authority only of ISTHA.

The selection boxes shown here allow

the template data to be modified.

The Supervisor may change the

default folder tab displayed upon

reading a tag. Refer to the section in

the manual titled "Default View Page.."

The number of blue squares displayed

in the "progress bar" indicates the

relative completion of the Read or

Pro

ram task.

There would be more selection

boxes shown here only if a

Supervisor created and saved a

new template.

Refer to the section "Create a new

Tem

late file".

"Clear Unassigned Bits", when selected, will set all the unused bits in the entire field to zero.

Note 1. If a template file is not loaded then the "Clear Unassigned Bits" default value is

"unselected". Reason: all ISTHA class tags have these 4 bits set when they were

originally programmed at the factory.

Note 2. If a template file is loaded then this "Clear Unassigned Bits" value is set to the data that

was stored in that template file.
