8.1.2 Optical “process feedback” status indicator
The “Process Feedback” status display operates with one LED. The LED is located in
the center of the antenna hood, see "Device view", page 16.
The behavior of the indicator (color, brightness, activation condition) can be configured.
The following activation conditions can be selected:
•
Successful process of transponder handling. The process consists of: triggering
and subsequent reading, if applicable also writing of transponder data.
•
External SOPASET command, script
•
A pre-defined or application-defined evaluation condition has occurred
NOTE
Select the activation condition and brightness using a configuration tool,
for exampleSOPAS ET configuration software. The display can be deactivated.
Operating mode: Quickstart
This operating mode for detecting transponders in the UHF field is intended for demon‐
stration purposes and for getting familiar with the operation of the device. In this mode,
the device automatically generates continuous read cycles. Contrary to normal read
operation (object-related read cycle triggering), the status indicator provides continuous
feedback on the success of the transponder detection.

Color Behavior Status
Blue Lights up at half
brightness
UHF field available, no transponder in the field
Blue Flashes at full bright‐
ness:
Flashing
slowly (f = 1.25Hz)
1transponder in field
Flashing quickly
(f = 2.5Hz)
2transponders in field
Flashing faster
(f = 5Hz)
More than 2transponders in field
The color of the indicator, and the brightness of the status indicator in Quickstart mode
cannot be modified.
NOTE
The "Quickstart” function is not intended to be used during normal operation.

For operational use, select a read cycle using the object trigger control in
SOPAS ET.
