Settings: the killed tag will not be available so please be careful on this operation. The EPC and kill password should be provided when doing this operation, as shown in figure 2-11. Therefore, please make sure that the EPC of the tag has been read. The read data memory section could be changed referring to chapter 2.2.2 Read Settings. Figure 2-11 Kill tag l EPC: to select EPC of the tag to be killed. l Kill Password: to enter the correct kill password. l Kill: to kill the tag. 2.2.
2.2.8 EAS EAS is available on tags with NXP tag chips. An EAS flag bit is provided on an EAS tag. After enabling EAS flag bit, EAS will be on. If tags with enabled EAS flag bits are located in reader field, data of tags with configured EAS flag bit (alarm information) will be returned. EAS can be disabled by power off operation instruction. Figure 2-13 EAS Alarm start Path: RFID --> Option --> EAS Click button , the EAS Alarm starts.
Settings: set or cancel filtering overlap tags by time. In other word, a tag will be read for once in specified time. The interface is as shown in figure 2-15. Figure 2-15 Overlap Filter l Time: set the overlap filtering time, measured by milliseconds. The value is limited from 0 to 65535. l Cancel: cancel overlap filtering. l Set: perform the settings. 2.2.
Only the tags matching these conditions can be scanned. 2.2.11 Data Set Path: RFID --> Option --> Data Set Settings: save or upload tag data to specified PC. The interface is as shown in figure 2-17. Figure 2-17 Data configuration l Save data: tick to perform save data operation. The operation is to save tag data to the file system of the reader. You can click button “Cache data” to view or process saved data (please refer to details below). l Upload data: tick to perform upload operation.
Figure 2-18 Cache data ∘ Export: to export cache data to local file system. A dialog will come up as below. Click “No” to cancel the operation and return to cache data interface. Click “Yes” to output data and save to “\InvengoFlash\Demo\Data”. The operation result will be displayed at the bottom of cache data interface, as shown below. ∘ Delete: to delete selected data. A dialog will come up as below. Click “No” to cancel the operation and return to cache data interface.
