Image 4-20 Antenna selection 4.5.6 Base band parameter configuration Select "configuration" on the DEMO main interface --> "senior" --> "reader", then pop-up dialog box, as shown in image 4-21.
 32   Image 4-21 Base band parameter configuration Changing the base band parameter configuration can change the actual effect of the read and write (can be reasonably configured according to the application scenarios, but it needs to be operated under the guidance of our engineers). EPC base band rate provides five options: Tair=25us, FM0, LHF=40KHz, dense reading mode; Tair=25us, Miller4, LHF=300KHz; fast reading mode; 255/OUTO. Session four choices: 0; 1; 2; 3. Q values provide sixteen options: 0/ single label; 1; 2; 3; 4/ multi label; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 14; 11; 12; 13; 15. There  are  three  options  for  searching  tags:  one  side  search;  inventory  only  with  Flag  B; double search. 4.5.7 Antenna port power setting Select  "configuration"  on  the  DEMO  main  interface  -->  "senior"  -->  "reader",  pop-up

 35  click the " " button, right into the list box, and then click the "configuration" to confirm; If you want to select the full band frequency hopping just click    all the frequency points will show on the right side of the list box, click the "configuration" to confirm. If you click  , all frequency points on the right side of the list box will be cleared.                             Image 4-25 Frequency Band selection Note: The purpose of setting up the "automatic" is to avoid the interference of the external signal and select the fast frequency hopping. The default configuration for general application is automatically (as shown red mark dropdown list in image 4-24). 4.5.10 Label filtering Select  "configuration"  on  the  main  interface  >  "RFID  configuration"  >  "label  filter",  then pop-up dialog box, as shown in image 4-26:
 36                                       Image 4-26 label filtering Filtering time: indicates that the same label content within a specified period of time within a read card instruction is only uploaded once, 0~65535, and time units: 10ms. RSSI threshold: When label RSSI value small than the threshold value, the label data will not be uploaded and discarded.    4.5.11 Buffer and breakpoint resume For make sure the reader ‘s complete collection of rfid tags’ data, CL7206C support tag data-caching mechanism and breakpoint resume, in case that the tag’s data loss because of the communication interrupted or PC application error exit, the tag data by caching mechanism could be saved without power.   Data caching mechanism mode’s start: Main manu’s setting  Advanced  Reader setting  Breakpoint, choose “ON” then it will validate the function of tag’s caching mechanism. As image 4-27 shows.
 37   Image 4-27 tag filter After the validate the breakpoint resume function, the PC will reply each data of tags uploading, reader will automatically save the tag’s data which are not uploaded. PC could operate the saved data through setting  Obtain saved data or setting  clear saved data. As below image 4-28.
 38   Image 4-28 tag buffer data operation As under the breakpoint resume mode, PC will confirm to each tag data from reader, under mass quantity of   tag data will reduce the communication efficiency, increase the system load, we suggest: When start the breakpoint upload functions, according to your application, can set up suitable “tag filter parameter” “filter time” to reduce the extra data uploading.   4.5.12 Auto idle set up Select  "configuration"  on  the  main  interface >  "RFID  configuration" > "auto idle ", then pop-up dialog box, as shown in image 4-29:
 39                Image 4-29 Auto idle configuration Auto idle mode means when the reader continuous reading tags, all using antenna didn’t identify the tags for three times continuously ,then the reader automatically enter a period of idle state to save power consumption, the reader re-enter the card reader automatically after idle time. 4.5.13 GPI/O configuration GPI/O control is to provide the query and set up the I/O port state, control the function of the I/O device.
