- Serial port (DB9) for downloading collected information to a
computer, hand held device or Scale.
- USB adapter.
- Recommended if scanning animals (cattle and deer) on the move.
If required, multiple SmartReaders can operate in close proximity, so long as
they are setup to ensure all Electronic ID tags are read correctly.
Electronic ID tags
The Gallagher SmartReader enables you to read both HDX (Half Duplex) and
FDX-B (Full Duplex-B) Electronic ID tags.
HDX and FDX-B Electronic ID tags operate differently and therefore have
different applications.
Storage of SmartReader when not in use
For optimal battery life, Gallagher recommends that you store the
SmartReader in a cool, dry area (15 to 25 ° C) out of direct sunlight.
Charge the battery completely before storage, as the battery may lose
capacity if left empty for a period of time.
Configurator
The Configurator is a software program provided with the SmartReader BR
Series. Use it to alter settings and to diagnose performance problems in the
installed SmartReader.
The Configurator is for advanced users and should be used with care as
altering settings affects the operation of the SmartReader.
The Configurator software is automatically installed with the MyScale Pro
software.
MyScale Pro
The MyScale Pro software enables you to transfer Electronic ID tag numbers
stored in the SmartReader memory from the SmartReader to a computer.
Note: The SmartReader does not need to be connected to the panel for this
activity.
With MyScale Pro you can perform the following functions:
• Transfer sessions from the SmartReader
• Change session file names
• View and edit sessions
• Print sessions
• Create long term record storage using MyScale Pro to backup
information from the SmartReader.
