6 USING THE SIMULATOR
The WherePort simulator (ZES p/n D0910) is a tool for exploring the best solutions for
WherePort placement and for better understanding the basic characteristics of WherePort
communication.
Because of the number of variables that affect the response of the tag to the
WherePort field, it is helpful to examine the response using the simulator. The number
and placement of WherePorts, the orientation of the tag while it is in the field, and the
distance of the WherePort from the tag all interact to determine this response.
