ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program 1. FixedQ : Fixed Q algorithm. The items as follows: 1: qValue: The Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. 2: retryCount: Specifies the number of times to try another execution of the singulation algorithm for the specified session/target before either toggling the target (if toggleTarget is non-zero) or terminating the inventory/tag access operation. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive.

ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program will also apply to the new target. 3. DynamicQAdjust: This algorithm modifies the previous dynamic Q algorithm by issuing ISO 18000-6C Query Adjust commands instead of ISO 18000-6C Query commands when adjusting the Q value. The items as follows: 1: startQValue: The starting Q value to use. minQValue <= Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. startQValue <= maxQValue 2: minQValue: The minimum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive.
