Tag Mask – Presets
The third way to set a tag mask is with the Presets tab. This screen shows a list of pre-defined tag
masks, such as “all tags”, “all Higgs3 tags”, etc. These presets are hard-coded in the application,
but you can replace the default list with one of your own.
To use your own list of mask presets, just create a folder called \Flash Disk\RFIDAssets and place
a file called presets.txt there. Each line of the presets.txt file should contain the preset name,
followed by a tab, followed by the mask string (bank_name,bit-offset,hex_data). For instance, a
presets.txt file might look like this:
ff EPC,32,FEEDFACE
hamburger EPC,32,DEADBEEF
lunch
EPC,32,BEEFCAFE
Pick one of the selections from the
Presets list, and you can see the
displayed name and mask definition.
Click the Set Mask button to use it.
Masks chosen from the Presets tab are
shown on the utility screens with the
display name in the mask preset
definition. Your mask presets might
display “Blue Jeans” or “Pallet Tags”
instead.
