4.1 Functionality of Buttons
The ‘Read’ button starts reading all 17 pages of the tag and displays the main
contents (product name, version/layer, CID) on the display. During the reading
the first line of the display shows “RF Tag is reading …”.
The ‘Write’ button initiate the data transfer of the read bar codes to the tag. At first
the barcode labels have to be read with the BCR gun. The first line of the display
shows which label has to be read. When all labels are read, the operator has to
verify the bar codes on the display. The message “to write RFID press WRITE
button” is shown on the display. Press the ‘Write’ button ones more to write the
bar code data to the tag. If the data were written to the tag, the reader reads the
data again from the tag to verify a successful writing.
After pressing the ‘Write’ button the following messages are displayed on the first
line of the display:
§ “writing tag …”
§ “RF Tag is verifying …”
§ “RFID data written – remove pod”
Otherwise an error message is displayed on the screen.
To verify the written tag data, press the ‘Verify’ button. Then the operator has to
read the bar codes in the same way as on write procedure. The RF reader starts
with the tag reading automatically after the last label was read. An appropriate
message will be displayed. The verification is successful if Product Name,
Layer/Version and the CID of the POD is exactly the same (depend on length of
the barcode labels!) as the data on the tag. If a label includes a string of 8 signs,
that string will be checked against the first 8 bytes of the tag area.
