0558A02C-001 – DC Analyser

REVISION 1.0, 2007-11-07

Operation

The DCAnalyser is used for analysis of LTO data cartridges. It contains on the one hand a

RFID read-/write-device (short: reader) which is compatible to read LTR labels embedded in

LTO data cartridges and one the other hand an integrated bar code scanner to read bar code

labels applied on LTO data cartridges. All functions of the DC Analyser can be controlled

over a USB interface which allows data exchange with a host computer. This includes:

– functions to control the RFID reader: e.g. switch on / off RF field, read / write to a LTR

label.

– functions for bar code scanner: enable / disable scanner, read labels.

– functions for controlling the two LED's on the front of the housing.

– system functions: e.g. status of device

To ensure full operation it is important that a external wall adapter is used (USB self

powered).

To process a cartridge it is important that it is applied as shown on the front foil of the device,

the antenna of the reader is located as shown on the picture (green rectangle):

Hint: the reader generates a magnetic field with the frequency of 13.56MHz which is influenced by any electrically conductive material in close proximity to the antenna. A minimum of 10 cm is required to ensure that there will be no significant degradation of the performance in terms of read range and reliability.
