Viewing Telemetry Data
NOTE: You cannot view telemetry data if the data is being sent to an external
database. Data must be read using the database program. See
“Telemetry Data Export To 3rd Party Databases” on page 298.
To view collected data from a printer, double-click the printer in the printer list
(or select the printer and select
View Data from Selected Printer ). The
AutoID Data Viewer window opens and collected telemetry data displays.
See Figure 251.
Identifier
When viewing telemetry data, there is an identifier consisting of a letter
followed by two numbers and separated by a decimal point. The letter
B
represents a bar code, R an RFID tag, and L a label.
For bar code and RFID tag identifiers (B and R), the first number represents
the label number, and the second represents the bar code or RFID tag
sequence number within the label. For label identifiers (L), the first number
represents the label number, and the second specifies how many bar codes
are on the label.
NOTE: Since a label typically has one RFID tag, this count is not included in
the label identifier (L).
When viewing telemetry data, B3.2 denotes the second bar code in the third
label. R5.1 denotes the first RFID tag in the fifth label. L5.4 denotes the end of
the fifth label, and the label has four bar codes. See Figure 251.
NOTE: The printer verifies the RFID tag before printing any bar codes. If the
RFID tag fails, then the label automatically fails without any printed
bar codes. See
R4.1 and L4.0 in Figure 251.
