Tag/Exciter Deployment Device Detecting Exciters TED receives LF or Ultrasound (Gen 1 and Gen 2) messages transmitted by Exciters. These messages are displayed using the Hardware Manager’s Exciter Detector Application. Exciter coverage area, Bad LF, Bad US (Noise Mode) and overlapping beams can then be evaluated. The Exciter Detector application also maintains a log of all incoming Exciter messages. This file is created in the Exciter Detector installation directory.
Tag/Exciter Deployment Device The Exciter Detector application opens. 5. From the Menu bar click on File and select Configuration. The Configuration dialog box opens.
Tag/Exciter Deployment Device 6. Enter the following information: Communication Port The device uses a Micro USB interface. Therefore, the port is a serial ‘COM’ port. By default, device communicates with the PC through the port shown in this field. You can change the port, if the USB driver was installed on a different port.
Tag/Exciter Deployment Device Save Exciter messages log Check this box to save all incoming messages to a log file. The file is created in the Exciter Detector installation directory.
