The tag data are expressed with following items. Tag ID - tag ID (If clicked, it is moved to the corresponding tag’s memory handling screen right away.) Tag Name – tag ID is displayed and, when enable leak is checked, depending on setting time, it is displayed as “No Tag.” Type - tag type (ISO 18000-6B, EPC C1 GEN2) Total Read – the number of read corresponding tags. www.samsungtechwin.co.kr UHF RFID READER Read Rate - the number that tag reads during interval time Success – the number that the corresponding tag reads in the most recent time. Trial – the number of trials to read a corresponding tag in the most recent time. Success Ratio – the most successful read rate of corresponding tag in the most recent time (Success/Trial) Antenna - RFID Reader antenna number (1~4) that tag reads CH – the channel that tag is read. Date/Time – the last time the tag is read. (MMDD-hh:mm:ss) 2.4 Information Total Unique Tag It shows the number of read tags. If clear tag button is pressed, the value is initialized. Total Read Count It shows total number of read tag data. Missing tag data by enable leaks is not included. Rate Mode Followings are all items, that shows on the list with am method to calculate tag speed, and their calculating methods. time mode – total number of read tag data is divided by interval time. trial mode – the number of trial time for RFID Reader to read tag data and successfully read count, calculating rate Rate It shows information of how many tag data is read per second within interval time. It displays when rate mode is time mode. Success Ratio It is an item when rate mode is trial mode, and it displays how successfully tag data is read with what success rate. It is displayed as percentage that count value divided by trial value. Success When rate mode is trial mode, it is displayed and means total sum of success value of tag data. Trial When rate mode is trial mode, it displays and it is total sum of trial value of tag data. Interval It sets interval time to calculate rate. For example, if interval value is set to 10, it shows tag data speed for 10 seconds. ISO6B Sensitivity Average value of ISO-B type tags shows average sensitivity value divided by 0~10 steps. GEN2 Sensitivity Average sensitivity value of GEN2 type tags shows value divided by 0~10 steps. Enable Leaks When “enable leaks” checkbox is selected, for an unread tag during corresponding hour is marked its tag name as “No Tag.” Fixed Time Test If fixed time test checkbox is selected, test time and starting button become activated and it can test tag data to read for a particular intervals. When start fixed time reader test button is clicked, the test begins, and value of tag information table and value of total unique tags and total read count rate become initialized. Reset Rate Total tags read from tag information table and value from read rate column become initialized to zero, and total count and rate value on the main menu reset to zero. www.samsungtechwin.co.kr UHF RFID READER Clear Tag Data Delete tag information table.

Provide macro name as the pop-up menu and input alias that can be included on the command. Ok When “O.K.” button is clicked, defined contents on the command alias screen is saved on the /Config/CommandAlias.xml. The contents of the CommandAlias.xml is as seen below. 24 www.samsungtechwin.co.kr UHF RFID READER 8. Channel Setup 8.1 Channel Setup Overview Channel Setup is a screen that sets filter and logger, and set-up contents is reflects on the tag information view. It is implemented by filter of channel setup; and logger is by Java API. Channel setup’s filter has smoothing, in/out, distinct, and masking, and logger has file logger. Each will be explained further in details. 8.2 Filter Smoothing Filter During persistent time, at least tag should be read as cycles to make happen tag event. Persistent Time – assigned time (unit: msec) Cycles – the number of assignment In/Out Filter When tag is initially recognized (In), tag event occurs. And when tag is not read during report out time (Out), tag event occurs. Report In – When tag is in, tag event is made. Report Out – When tag is out, tag event is made. Report Out Time – the time to process tag out (unit: msec) Distinct Filter Tag event is distinct during distinct time. When the tag is read on the distinct time, tag event is again distinct from that point. Distinct Time – the time that is distinct event (unit: msec) 25 www.samsungtechwin.co.kr UHF RFID READER Masking Filter With regards to tag ID and user data, when designated data(mask data) and hex pattern matche from designated location(starter pointer), tag event occurs. Start Pointer – location that compares starting tag Mask Data – comparing data Tag Id – Apply masking filter to tag ID. User Data – Apply masking filter to user data. 8.3 Logger File Logger Record tag event on the file. The tag event that is recorded on file is as follows: time, tagID, tagProtocol, antennaNumber, count, sensitivity Append – if file exists, do not overwrite on and add at the end of it. 26 www.samsungtechwin.co.kr Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
