3.3 Charging Function
The battery charging procedure is started as soon as the PSION Workabout
PRO is placed in the docking station. Charging is activated and indicated with
a green LED. See chapter 3.1.
When the batteries are empty, ca. 4 hours are required for a complete charge.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to adhere to the PSION user’s manual.
The backup battery
The backup battery in the PSION Workabout PRO is used to retain the application data when the main batteries are empty. The backup battery is a lithium
cell. Remember that, when the main batteries are empty or have been removed, a loaded backup battery can only maintain the data in the RAM for just
a few minutes.
The MOBY application is stored fail-safe in the flash memory and is therefore
still present even if a battery fails. If the MOBY application has been deleted or
damaged the device has to be sent in for repair.

4.2.1 General Information on Read and Write-Accessing an MDS
The MOBY D and MOBY E MDSs use block-oriented data accessing. A read
or write-access to an MDS is only possible at the beginning of a block. One
block contains 16 bytes (or 10 hex) with MOBY E. Thus, the start addresses
for MDS processing to be entered on the STG hand-held terminal PRO are:
00, 10, 20, 30 hex and so on.
With MOBY D a block has a length of 4 bytes (I-Code, Tag-it) or 8 bytes (my-d).
The start addresses are:
00, 04, 08, 12 hex ... (I-Code, Tag-it) or
00, 08, 10, 18 hex ... (my-d).
With the MOBY D/E, the TagId on the display is automatically updated to the
current value after the read/write access.
However, you can also specify any start address. This will be accepted by the STG
and corrected to the next lower block beginning. The corrected address is indicated for
the operator in a window and must be
acknowledged.
An additional window appears if you change
data in the editor and then attempt to read a
MDS. The window tells you that the data
which you have just modified may be overwritten again with the “read MDS” command
You can retain or reject the modified data in
the editor, or you can terminate the comman
completely.
Note
ECC mode can only be set on the MOBY I hand-held terminal.
ECC mode cannot be used with MOBY D/E.

4.2.2 Reading the MDS
A data block with a start and end address, which can be defined as desired,
can be read from the MDS. If the same value is entered for the start and end
address, only one block can be read from the MDS. The address area is indicated in another screen for confirmation.
Note
If mode “Complete MDS” was selected in the read/write field of the
menu “Extras/Address Setup/...,” the “MDS/read” funktion is started
immediately without asking any questions. The complete MDS is always processed.
4.2.3 Writing the MDS
A data block can be written to the MDS. The data block which is valid in the
editor is indicated as the default for each write access. The default length or
end address can still be changed to another value during the write-access.
4.2.4 Erasing/Initializing the MDS
The “erase/initialize MDS” function is used to write the entire MDS with a
certain value in a very short time. The erasure value can be entered in a
subsequent menu. After the deletion function has been performed, the memory
in the editor is also erased with the value which was entered. With the MOBY I,
the correct size of the MDS memory must be set (Extras/MOBY I Setup) before
this function is performed.
4.2.5 Reading the ID Number
Only MOBY D/E: The function reads and indicates the serial number of the
MDS. The ID number is set at the factory and cannot be changed.
The TagId is displayed in hexadecimal format by the editor in the second line.
The TagId is automatically read with the “MDS read/write/erase” functions.

about PRO. See chapter 6.2.
4.3.2 Saving
Data currently being displayed by the editor can be saved in a file on the
PSION Workabout PRO. The file name may consist of 1 to 8 letters or
numbers. During the storage procedure, the extension “.HEX” (data) and
“.HX1” (ID no.) is automatically added to the file name. See also chapter 6.2.
A memory area of approximately 40 Mbytes is available on the hand-held
terminal for storage of MDS data (i.e., with MOBY E, up to 40,000 MDSs can
be read and stored).
4.3.3 Exiting
The “exit” function can be used to conclude the STG program of MOBY. This

4.5.2 Password
A password can be programmed as an option. The password must be entered
prior to a write-access function. Once entered, a password remains valid until
the STG is turned off (i.e., the password only has to be entered once during
several consecutive write commands). The “MOBY” program can also only be
exited with the password.
Forgot the password?
If a password is forgotten, there is no way to obtain it again. The only solution
is to reset the Software to delivery version. Activate in start menu supervisor
state (see chapter 6.5.1). Than do a shutdown/coldreset.
Password 99999999
Changing the password to 99999999 (i.e., eight 9s) has a special purpose.
The write-access function to the MDS and the “file/exit” function can no longer
be executed. The password can also no longer be changed. The only way to
access the write-access function again is to do a system reset (see
chapter 6.5.1).
4.5.3 Antenna
Only for MOBY E: The antenna field on the read head is switched between
“card” (large antenna) and “button” (small antenna). See also chapter 3.2.
The antenna must be set once when the read head is commissioned. The
set antenna is retained on the read head when the hand-held terminal is
turned off.

is scanned and indicated as “Status” when it is empty.
S Sample rate: The scan time is only relevant when the MDS 507 is
used with an ASM 420. The setting range is 0.1 sec to
6.3 sec. The default value (0.5 sec) usually does not
have to be changed.
4.5.6 MOBY E Setup
S Key A/B: You can switch between the “MOBY key” and the
“B transport key for MIFARE data memory.”
The MOBY key is always standard. The “B” setting

The “FILEHANDLER” Program
The “FILEHANDLER” program is designed so that you can use the same functions to access the files on the hand-held terminal and the files on the MDS.
The directory display is available for both the hand-held terminal and the MDS.
MDS files can be copied from the MDS to the hand-held terminal (and vice
versa) with just a few keys.
An optional connection to the PC permits you to exchange files stored on the
hand-held terminal with the PC.
You can then process the data with your familiar PC programs (e.g., WORD,
EXCEL, and so on). Prerequisite: The PC application must support the contents and data structure of the MDS file. See also chapter 6.

5.4.3 Write File to MDS (Write File to Tag)
The file name is entered as described in chapter 5.4.1. After a file name contained in the directory is entered, you are given the following choices.
You can overwrite the file or append the new
data to the existing file.
In the next screen, you can still change the
length of the data to be written.
The default length is always given as the
value of the length of the data in the editor. If
you change the default length, the data
length on the MDS will also be adjusted.
If you selected the “Append” data option, the file is automatically read again after execution of the write function. This gives you the complete updated file on
the editor.
If you selected the file name “Other File” when you called the write function and
entered a new file name with the keyboard, the “Create” screen appears.
If you confirm this screen with “Yes,” a new
file is created on the MDS before the data are
written to the MDS.

The “Commands” menu contains only
commands related to the MDS memory.
The “FILEHANDLER” Program
5.5.1 New File (Create File)
“Create File” is used to set up a new file on the MDS. The file name may not
yet exist on the MDS. The new file is always given a length of 0.
5.5.2 Delete File
This function deletes a file from the MDS memory.
If you are in the directory view, it is very easy to start the delete function by
pressing the “Del” key. You can use the “Del” key to delete files from the MDS
or the hand-held terminal. The files are deleted from the hand-held terminal if
the STG files are being shown in the directory view.
5.5.3 Format MDS (Tag Format)
Before it can be used with the filehandler, the MDS must be formatted. Before
formatting, it is important to set the memory size of the MDS correctly. Use the
Extras/Parameter function for this. Formatting deletes all data from the MDS,
and a new file structure is set up.

5.5.4 Attribute File (File Attribute)
This command can be used to assign access rights to the individual files. This
protects the files from unauthorized and unintentional overwriting. The directory view shows the file attribute in the right-hand column (see chap. 5.3.2).
The following file attributes are available.
Attribute Description
– No attribute or an existing attribute is deleted.
R Read only. The file can only be read. It cannot be written, overwritten
or deleted.
W Write once. The file can be written once. The file cannot be written
again. It also cannot be deleted.
F Fixed length. The file can be read as often as desired. It can only be
written when this does not change the length of the file. Data cannot
be appended, and the file cannot be deleted.
F/R “Fixed length” and “read only” are set. This attribute has the same
effect as the “R” attribute.
File attributes can only be assigned to MDS files. Files on the RAM of the
hand-held terminal always have the type “–” (i.e., they can always be changed
or deleted).

hand-held terminal.
5.6.3 Change File Size (File Size)
The editor shows the current size of a file in the second line. This length can
be modified with the “File Size” command. When the file is made longer, an appropriate number of zeros (00 Hex) is appended to the end of the file. The editor shows the appended portion with inverted digits.
5.6.4 Delete Display (Clear Display)
This function clears the memory of the editor display. The hexadecimal value
of the filler character can be specified. The standard filler character is 00hex.
After deletion, all data in the display are shown inverted to indicate that no data
have been entered yet by the user.
5.6.5 Jump to Address
Normally the cursor is positioned within a file with the four cursor keys. With
large files, it is much quicker to use the “jump to address” function to position
the cursor anywhere within the file. You can also call the “jump to address”
function very easily with the Tab key.
5.6.6 Display Setup
The display is set here. You can choose either hexadecimal or ASCII format.

5.7.1 Parameter
The “parameter” function is used to make the basic settings for the filehandler.
Parameter Description
MDS size The gross memory size of the MDS is set here.
This memory size is shown in the first line of the display. The Format
command uses the memory size to specify the file system. If the
“MDS size” parameter does not correspond to the MDS being used,
the MDS can still be used. Only the Format command would produce
the wrong result.
MDS type Here you can switch between RAM, EEPROM and MDS 507. FRAM
memory is treated as RAM memory. If EEPROM is selected, the battery error message is suppressed on the display since these MDSs do
not have batteries. If MDS 507 is selected, the dialog battery is also
evaluated. When empty, this is shown on the display.
ECC
SLG no.
(hex)
Activate/deactivate ECC driver
When an MDS is processed, the SLG no. selected here is written to
the system area of the MDS. It has no effect on the function of the Filehandler program on the STG hand-held terminal PRO.
EAKO The entry/exit check cannot be set on the STG hand-held terminal
PRO with the filehandler. The STG hand-held terminal PRO does not
use entry/exit control (AEKO = 4).

5.7.2 Password for Filehandler (Password for FH)
The filehandler password protects the STG hand-held terminal PRO data on
the MDS from being manipulated by unauthorized parties. The passwords for
the “Filehandler” and “MOBY D/E/I” programs are identical. See chapter 4.5.2
for a description of how to handle the password.
5.7.3 Communication
In principle, communication of the filehandler is always set to “read head.”
However, the filehandler can be changed to “ASM on RS 232” as an option. A
type “ASM420-RS232” module can then be connected to the hand-held terminal. For more information, see chapter 6.5.
Remember that a type “ASM 421” module cannot be used with the STG handheld terminal PRO.

6.1 Storing the MDS Data on the STG Hand-Held Terminal PRO
The data read from the MDS are automatically stored on the hand-held terminal
in a file named “READ_D.HEX,” “READ_E.HEX” or “READ_I.HEX” in the folder
/SIBO/M of the PSION Workabout PRO. Every additional read command overwrites this file.
When the MDS is write-accessed, the write data are written from the editor to
the MDS and also to the folder /SIBO/M on the PSION Workabout PRO under
the name “WRITE_D.HEX,” “WRITE_E.HEX” or “WRITE_I.HEX.” Every additional write command overwrites this file.
You can load a previously stored file into the editor using the “file/load file” function. To do this, enter the name of the file without the suffix “.HEX.”
You can also call up a list of the stored files by leaving the entry field blank and
pressing the ENTER key.
You can now select the corresponding file using the cursor keys.
The “file/save” function stores the data of the editor in a file with the file extension “.HEX” and at the same time the ID number in a file with the file suffix
“.HX1” in the folder /SIBO/M/HX on the PSION Workabout PRO. You can specify any name of 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters.
Note
When you read data from the MDS, modify data in the editor and
then save the data, the modified data will be stored in the .HEX file.

Note
Since the standard SIM of MOBY E uses cyclic operation, it takes
much, much longer to process a read/write command than with the
STG read head. The EXTRAS/MOBY E Setup/MODE command can
be used to switch the SIM to the faster read mode. This command
must be repeated each time SIM is turned on.

3.3 Die Ladefunktion
Sobald Sie das PSION Workabout PRO in die Docking Station stecken, wird
der Ladevorgang der Akkus gestartet. Das Laden wird aktiviert und an einer
grünen Leuchtdiode angezeigt (siehe Kap. 3.1).
Bei leeren Akkus dauert eine komplette Ladung ca. 4 Stunden.
WICHTIG: Dem Gerät liegt eine Dokumentation “Quick Start Guide” bei. Die
darin enthaltenen Hinweise sind unbedingt zu beachten. Ebenso die entsprechenden Hinweise im PSION-Benutzerhandbuch bzw. der Dokumentation der
Docking Station.
Die Backup-Batterie
Die Backup-Batterie im PSION Workabout PRO dient zum Erhalt der Anwendungsdaten, wenn die Hauptbatterien entladen sind. Die Backup-Batterie ist
eine Lithiumzelle. Bitte beachten Sie, dass eine neue Backup-Batterie (bei entleerter oder entfernter Hauptbatterie) die Daten im RAM nur wenige Minuten
erhalten kann.
Die MOBY-Applikation ist ausfallsicher im Flash Speicher hinterlegt und ist daher auch nach einem Batterieausfall vorhanden. Falls die MOBY-Applikation
gelöscht oder beschädigt wurde, muss das Gerät zur Reparatur eingesandt
werden.
