9.2.8 Tag Note Tab 9.2.9 Help tab You can add more tag details which you read by unit in this tab and the tag data will be stored in database. You can access to this tab by double click on any row of Tag ID when you are in Download tab. This tab contains Users Interface Description documents, RFID Note software details others support software descriptions, and Firmware support details.
9.3.2 FlashSTA Firmware path will here FlashSTA is a free programming software that is used for reprogramming a new firmware to RFID Handheld Reader HH500. It will be automatically installed into your pc when you install RFID Note. - click on Refer… button to browse a new firmware file you want to program. - double click on Launch FlashSTA.
Progress windows will show programming status; Program, and Read check. 10. Bluetooth Interface (PC Applications) This chapter describes how to communicate to HH500 with Bluetooth interface instead of RS232 connection. You can use all functions in RFID Note with the Bluetooth interface as same as RS232 interface. Note : RFID Note version 1.14 demo support Bluetooth interface. 10.1 Bluetooth driver installation and setting Bluetooth interface require driver installation and setting before use. 10.1.
This picture shows Bluetooth properties. This picture shows how to enter Security code. Bluetooth Serial port (virtual serial port) Enter 1111 here COM Port : COM4 This picture shows the present Bluetooth device is a virtual serial port. And it work as a serial COM port 4. 8. A When Bluetooth is connected an icon will be as a left picture and ready to use. 9. you can use “RFID Note” as usual now. (see 9.2.2 Start RFID Note) Note : 1.
6. Fine Port section and disable others Bluetooth devices which not use For example, there are 2 Bluetooth devices in your PC (COM3, COM4). And according to Bluetooth properties window, the device in concern is as COM4. So disable COM3 by 1. right click on "Bluetooth Communication port (COM3)" and 2. select "Disable". (see a picture below) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
