error messages.
When the function is enabled, the reader and all error messages are
automatically reset by the "WRITE-CONFIG" command as soon as error
messages occur.

When the function is enabled, the reader and all error messages are
automatically reset by the "WRITE-CONFIG" command.

Description of the "Statistics" parameters
Parameter
Description
Read results
Objects entered
Number of objects that have previously triggered read operations
(Trigger).
Objects lost
Number of objects that entered the read window but did not trigger a
read operation (Trigger).
This is an error counter that is counted up when an object has
completely crossed the read window without being read because the
previous object is still being processed.
Note: To avoid this error, the distance between two objects is increased
or the speed of the conveyor system is reduced.
Read
Number of successful read operations (object detected)
NoRead
Number of unsuccessful read operations
This is an error counter that is counted up when an object has not been
identified or when multiple objects that could not be clearly identified
were found in the antenna field.
NoRead
(fast trigger)
Number of unsuccessful read operations
This is an error counter that is counted up if the read operation (Trigger)
was set too late so that the object could not be read because processing
of the previous object was not finished in time.
Triggered while
reading
Number of read operations started late
This is an error counter that is counted up when the time interval
between two objects is too small so that the detected transponder could
not be clearly assigned to an object.
Note: To avoid this error, the distance between two objects is increased
or the speed of the conveyor system is reduced.
