3.1.4 RFID TAG MANAGEMENT
Witty·RFID is an automatic athlete detection system that makes the trainer's work easier by not having to
enter the number of the person who is starting in the Witty timer.
The reader used on the field is also used via the Witty Manager software to write the RFID tags (yellow
bracelets) with the athletes bib or shirt number. When a batch bracelets is acquired, these are in fact sold
without numbers, and it is the task of the “registry” or the trainer to prepare the RFID tags (both “digitally”
entering the bib number in it, as well as indicating the number in the provided white space using pen or an
adhesive number).
To program a RFID tag, turn on the Witty·RFID device and connect it to the PC via the USB cable; some
information is displayed such as the firmware version, its radio channel and serial number. If an obsolete
firmware version is detected, its update will be recommended (see chap.3.4.8).
