Displaying the events
After starting the recording of the events, the number of identified events and the number of
observed events are displayed. The table lists all the events sent by the reader.
With the "Counted" check box, you can change the table mode to display a compressed
table. If you have selected the check box the "Counted" mode is active. If you have not
selected the check box the "Time" mode is active.
The two table modes:
●
Quantity
Compact overview - recommended if large numbers of transponders are involved. In this
mode, only different events are displayed. If an event is repeated on a transponder, only
the existing row is updated.
●
Time (default)
Detailed overview - each event is displayed in a separate row. This makes the
chronological sequence of the events clear.
