Tuning the Lane

ATA Check Tag Test
Follow the steps outlined in the previous procedure for the IT2000 Check Tag Test.
The only exceptions are in Steps 2 and 6. In Step 2 you will select ATA Check Tag
Enabled instead of IT-2000 Check Tag Enabled. In Step 6 you will select the ATA
Tag Read Request screen instead of the Read Request screen, then in Execution
Mode, select Continuous.
If the check tag test fails, check that the check tag antenna is correctly positioned and
connected. If it is, replace the check tag antenna. See "Check Tag Antenna" on page 6-
19.
The optimum orientation for the antenna will be at a mounting angle that is located
within both solid read zones previously established for the IT2000 and ATA lane test
reads.
Testing the Footprint
Test the footprint using the custom autonomous mode (CAM) file. The CAM file
causes an IT2235 Tag to beep when the host successfully interacts with it. Access the
engineering host Background Status Information screen display.
Running the CAM Test for IT2200-Series Tags
1. Insert diskette with the Map4.cam files into the host computer’s floppy
diskette drive and copy the files to host. Remove the diskette from the
computer drive.
2. From the Reader menu, select Download CAM File.
3. Select the Map4.cam file. When the Map4.cam file has been successfully
downloaded, an information box appears indicating that the CAM file is
loaded into the reader logic card. Click OK to exit this screen.
4. From the Reader menu, select Cam Sequencing. From the Cam Sequencing
screen, select Non-Virtual Sequence. This command sets the host-reader
interface for this series of tests.
5. From the Reader menu, select Tag Command Mode. From the Tag
Command Mode screen, select Process Autonomous Commands. From the
Process Autonomous Commands screen, select Disable Response Display,
then click Run. This operating mode causes the IT2235 Tag to beep after
every read/write transaction. An IT2235 Tag should beep several times each
second.
Note: An IT2235 Tag produces two audible tones: a lower pitch tone indicating
a tag read and a higher pitch tone indicating a tag write.For this phase of lane
testing, only listen for the lower pitched tone.
