If the application starts reacting slowly?
* The history table may be too large to provide adequate performance. Check
the number of entries in the history table by opening the Settings window. If
the number of entries is over 10,000 entries you may want to Clear History.
Getting the tag to sound or flash
* The beeper and light are controlled by checkboxes on the Find Tags window.
Make sure the correct selections are made before performing a search.
Tags appear and disappear during consecutive searches from the same area
* Certain tags may be just outside of the consistent read range of the mobile
reader. The environment may also affect the consistency of searches. Metal
walls and other construction materials can adversely affect the read range of
searches.
Viewing and analyzing data on another machine
* The history table can be exported to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.
This file can then be viewed by spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft
Excel. To export a CSV file open the Settings window. Click Export History.
A save file dialog will appear. Save the file to a known location. Retrieve
the file through the sync cradle and Microsoft Active-Sync application
explorer. See the Pocket PC documentation for details on using Active-Sync.
Selecting the correct communications port
* In most cases the Seeker application will detect the Plug and Play ID of the
Receiver Card and configure it for the correct communications port. If the
application can not find the Receiver Card it is possible to manually configure
the communications port. Open the Settings window. In the Communication
Port box, select a comm port ID. Attempt to perform a Find operation from the
Find Tags window. Check the status of the Receiver Card LED to determine if
the application is communicating with the card. Repeat until the correct port
is identified.
