Fig. 53: Basic reading: mode
①
Synchronous
allows the facility to switch the carrier o during the idle times, saving power
This mode is intended for applications in which the requirements for timing are not very
demanding. The inventory of the tags is performed across all the antennas that are congured.
Once all the tags in the eld have been read on the last antenna, data are sent to the PC. The PC
automatically retriggers the inventory of the tags.
②
Asynchronous
is intended for applications for which maximum performance is required
The reader starts the inventory as quickly as possible, and at the end of an inventory it does not
deliver every tag that was read to the PC, but only those that have recently appeared in the eld
or left it. This way, the time required for communication between the reader and the client is
minimised.
The timing of when a tag was reliably read in the eld and when the tag no longer appears in the
eld can be dened more precisely using parameters.
► For more details of the ObservedThresholdCnt and ObservedTimeoutCnt parameters, refer
to the
Congurational manual reader .
