• Reads and displays a Reader’s saved calibration and settings from its

configuration file (SSI_info\AXnnnnnn.txt where AXnnnnnn is the

serial number). Any undefined settings will remain blank.

• Errors are displayed if the info file is missing or contains bad

calibration data.

• The Reader # is the s/n (serial number) on the silver label on the

underside of the Reader. When entering this number, ignore the

space between the two sets of 4 numbers and input it as a single 8-

digit alpha-numeric serial number.

• Note – The utility checks for reader compatibility, and does not allow

specific readers to be uploaded with conflicting code.

Calibration (loaded from reader in upload process)

Display Reader calibration data.

• Displays only the calibration data for the Reader at the time of the

upload process, when the data is retrieved from the Reader. This field

is informational only and cannot be modified.

• Note - The calibration string is read strictly from the Reader and sent

back during the upload process; the calibration string in the file

cannot be uploaded to the Reader. This prohibits users from

modifying the calibration string in this file and de-calibrating the

Reader during the upload process.
