Filtering time: indicates that the same label content within a specified period of time within
a read card instruction is only uploaded once, 0~65535, and time units: 10ms.
RSSI threshold: When label RSSI value small than the threshold value, the label data will not
be uploaded and discarded.
4.5.11 Buffer and breakpoint resume
For make sure the reader s complete collection of rfid tags’ data, CL7206C support tag
data-caching mechanism and breakpoint resume, in case that the tag’s data loss because of
the communication interrupted or PC application error exit, the tag data by caching mechanism
could be saved without power.
Data caching mechanism mode’s start:
Main manu’s setting Advanced Reader setting Breakpoint, choose “ON” then it
will validate the function of tag’s caching mechanism. As image 4-27 shows.
37
Image 4-27 tag filter
After the validate the breakpoint resume function, the PC will reply each data of tags
uploading, reader will automatically save the tag’s data which are not uploaded. PC could
operate the saved data through setting Obtain saved data or setting clear saved data. As
below image 4-28.
38
Image 4-28 tag buffer data operation
As under the breakpoint resume mode, PC will confirm to each tag data from reader, under
mass quantity of
tag data will reduce the communication efficiency, increase the system load, we suggest:
When start the breakpoint upload functions, according to your application, can set up
suitable “tag filter parameter “filter time” to reduce the extra data uploading.
