6.8.3 Configure axis groups
This form is used to configure reader settings for the groups created in the previous step.
The following group parameters are setup using this form.
• Independent axis – ticked if the antennas in the group do not operate as one axis.
• Toggle reader ID – Ticked if the reader ID is toggled when the reader polls the axes in this group.
• Group Priority – Set the group priority for all axes in this group. The group priority determines
how often the antennas in this group are polled. Setting the group to disabled will result in none of
the antennas in this group being polled during the normal axis switching cycle. The Programmers
Guide (40-01-000-DOC) describes how to manually poll axes in a disabled group.
• Tag Reply Mode – Set the reply mode for all axes in this group.
