Description of the configuration parameters

2.2.2. 

“TimeToPowerOff”

Characteristics:

available from firmware:

v1.30.00

Data type:

Word (16-bit)

Unit:

Seconds

Value range:

0-65535

Description:
This parameter sets the duration for how long the transmission carrier remains switched on after the completion of  

an inventory, or a tag operation in general.
A  certain  time  must  elapse  after  receipt  of  an  inventory  command  before  the  reader  can  start  the  inventory.  This 

time is required by the reader amongst other things for LBT (Listen before Talk) and for an antenna test. Using this 

parameter  it  is  now  possible  to  reduce  this  time:  If  an  inventory  has  been  completed  by  the  reader,  and  the  next 

inventory command is received within the time configured by this parameter, the reader can dispense with the LBT and  

the antenna test and start the inventory more quickly.

Note

The time during which the transmission carrier is switched on by not performing any tag operation represents an 

increase in the overall power consumption of the reader.
The LBT (Listen Before Talk) operating mode is permissible only in existing systems.

2.2.3. 

“ModulationType”

Characteristics:

available from firmware:

v1.30.00

Data type:

Byte (8-bit)

Unit:

-

Value range:

0; 1

Description:
This  parameter  is  used  by  the  reader  to  specify  the  modulation  type  used  for  tag  communication.  

There are two modulation types available:
0: 

Double Side Band (DSB)

1: 

Phase Reversal Amplitude Shift Keying (PR-ASK)

Note

For readers manufactured for the European Union (ETSI), Phase Reversal Amplitude Shift Keying is used  

irrespective of the setting of this parameter.
