Parameter
Description
Inventories without
intermission
Number of inventories to be taken without being interrupted by a send pause
(intermission).
1)
Not to be confused with the number of acquisition cycles. With a single inven-
tory, acquisition cycles for all antennas and with all polarizations are queried.
If, for example, two antennas with three polarizations each are connected to a
reader, an inventory contains six acquisition cycles.
Value range
1 ... 65535
Increment
1
Intermission max
[ms]
Maximum duration of the intermission in milliseconds between the "Inventories
without intermission". The length of time of the individual send pauses vary
randomly within the range of values you have specified.
1)
Value range
0 ... 65535 ms
Increment
1 ms
Cyclic
antenna test
Activating/deactivating the cyclic antenna test.
If the cyclic antenna test is active, the reader checks whether or not the anten-
nas are plugged in and connected to the reader. To do this, the antennas are
accessed with minimum power. To make sure that antennas radiate power
only when this is specifically required, you can disable the antenna test.
Without the cyclic antenna test, an interrupted connection can only be detect-
ed when the antenna is accessed.
Note that the cyclic antenna test does not work if the cable attenuation is ≥ 4
dB.
Detailed error codes
(LED)
Enabling/disabling the detailed error codes.
This area exists only with the RF680R/RF685R readers.
Error messages that occur are indicated by red flashing status LEDs
(RF680R/RF685R) and the red flashing "ER" LED. If the "Detailed error codes
(LED)" check box is selected, a separate LED pattern is assigned to every
error in the LED status display. Clear the "Detailed error codes (LED)" check
box to disable the alternative LED error display. You will find more information
on the LED error display in the section "How the LED status display works
(Page 246)".
6 bit coding (acc. So
VDA5500)
Enabling / disabling the 6 bit coding
When 6 bit coding is enabled, the reader identifies transponders written ac-
cording to VDA5500 The access to the user data stored in the 6 bits is con-
verted transparently to 8 bits.
When the USER memory area "MB11" is accessed, the most significant bit of
the "Data Byte-Count Indicator" is not evaluated by the reader. This restriction
only applies to user data > 128 bytes.
