Advanced Performance Tuning
When the Configure Gen2 Settings button is clicked in the Performance Tuning Options
section the high-level use-case settings are disabled and the Gen2 Protocol settings can
be set directly. See the MercuryAPI Programmers Guide | Performance Tuning section for
more details on these settings.
Note
Once the high-level settings have been configured to maximize performance for a
usecase the Configure Gen2 Settings button can be clicked and the corresponding
low level settings will be displayed. These settings can then be used in a
MercuryAPI application to maintain the performance tunings.

Tag Response
Rate
• Select best choice for population size - used the Tag Population size setting
to determine best settings. Only recommended to be used if setting an
estimated tag population size.
• Customize tag response rate - adjust between:
– Tags respond more often - tags will re-respond to an on-
going inventory as quickly as possible. Not recommended for
large populations of tags.
– Tags respond less often - Tags will sleep for their "flag
persistence" period, (duration depends on exact setting and
tag specifics). This is preferred when trying to inventory large
populations of tags as it allows "weaker" tags a chance to
respond.
Configure Gen2
