TSL are pleased to announce the release of a patent-pending new feature called ‘Command Scan’ that enables the use of barcode scanning to configure or otherwise adjust parameters of the RFID reader. This simple but powerful ability opens up a whole world of possibilities for developers to configure or commission TSL RFID Readers using convenient, time-saving methods. This new feature works with the new generation 3166 and 3138 UHF RFID RAIN Readers.
- A free upgrade for any 3138 or 3166 Reader fitted with a 2D Barcode Imager
- Scan special Barcodes to execute ASCII Protocol commands.
- No need to connect each Reader to a PC for configuration
- Developers could sent out Command Scan 2D Barcodes within emails or apps, allowing remote users to simply scan the on-screen barcode to configure their 3166 Reader
Command Scan Examples
- Command Scan can be used as a convenient, time-saving method of changing the Bluetooth mode of the Reader. Users can swap instantly between one of the four Bluetooth modes by scanning the appropriate Barcode.
- Command Scan could also be used in a commissioning phase to edit the Autorun (AUTO.TXT) file of each Reader, without having to physically connect each reader to a PC.
- Other uses of Command Scan could involve:
- Setting the Reader to filter for only a certain type of tag and/or EPC range during each UHF inventory
- Changing the Reader behaviour for a double-click of the trigger
- Changing or muting the reader volume
- Temporarily limiting the dBm power level of the Reader antenna, for close-range UHF reading only
- Resetting the Reader back to its default configuration
- TSL is thrilled to give you free access to the Command Scan website to select or generate your own QR codes: https://commandscan.tsl.com
- And many more possibilities! See the full list of ASCII Protocol commands for inspiration
