2.3Tag Information Table

On the tag information table of main screen, all RF tags detected by RFID Reader are displayed. 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.

7 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)

2.4Information

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.
