Figure 37 - Single Tag Read to Screen
When the handheld interface is reading the tag, the Read button will turn blue,
and the status message at the bottom of the screen will say “Reading”. The data
will populate on the screen. After the read operation is complete, the Read
button will return to its original grey color.
Single Tag Read to File
If the Save read tags to file option is selected in Read Settings (see
Read Settings
on page 87
section), each read tag will be individually saved to a text file in the
following tab delimited format:
*The individual data bytes in the data field are separated from one another by a tab, except in ASCII mode.
The time stamp corresponds with the date and time of read. The Tag UID and
Type are the same numbers displayed on the screen. The Start and Length
correspond to the user-specified values displayed on the screen. Mode will be
represented by a single letter: B for binary, D for decimal, H for hexadecimal, and
A for ASCII. The Tag Value is the data on the tag between the start byte and the
length; this will also correspond with the data displayed on the screen.
Example:
H 2/6/2011 13:55:53 E00401003F47ABFE SLI 128 8 4 61 75 74 6f
Continuous Tag Read to Screen
Select the check box marked Continuous for continuous read. Specify the start
byte and the length of data you want to read. Enter a length of “0” to read the
entire tag. Select the data mode (binary, decimal, hexadecimal, or ASCII) using
the drop-down menu. Push the Read button to start continuous read.
IMPORTANT
Tag reads will be saved to the \SystemCF\RFID ICODE\Data folder.
