Tag Transmission Format
8. Tag Transmission Format
Tag information is transmitted in the following format:
[TIMESTAMP] [READER ID] TAG [*] [TAG NUMBER] [TAG TEMPERATURE]
Where:
TIMESTAMP is the date and time of the detection. Date can be represented in 3 different
•
formats depending on the present configuration of the reader. Ex: 12-13-2016 11:46:28.
•
READER ID is the detecting reader ID (2 HEX characters). Ex: A0.
"*" is only transmitted when tag ID is downloaded from reader's memory via Bluetooth or
•
USB communication connection.
TAG NUMBER is the detected tag's unique ID number. It can be represented in HEX,
•
DEC or NUM format depending on the configuration of the reader.

8.1 "Streamed" Data
Each time a new tag is scanned, its ID number is transmitted to both communication links
(Bluetooth and USB):
12-13-2016 11:46:28 A0 TAG 3DD.003BA20748
If the same tag is scanned multiple times in a row it's ID will be transmitted every time it is scanned
if Storage Mode is set to 1 (No storage) or 2 (On All). If Storage Mode is set to 3 (On Unique) the
ID will only be transmitted once until a different tag is scanned.
8.2 USB Drive Download
When a tag ID is downloaded from reader's memory onto USB Flash drive, it is written in a CSV
file as a single data string:
12-13-2016 11:46:28 A0 TAG 3DD.003BA20748
Once the CSV file is opened in Microsoft Excel, data can be sorted in columns using the space
delimiter as following:
