Section 4 RF/ID Tag Reader

Working with the RFID Tag reader
To test strings using an SMT-200 with tag reader takes three steps:
•
Read tags to create a tag list containing the tag ID and associated string number.
•
Test the geophone strings.
•
Download the data file to the PC.
4.3.1
Read tags
A tag ID number is comprised of 13 digits. As this is a large amount of digits and the user may have
specified string numbers, a cross link table (tag list, containing the tag ID and allocated string number)
must first be composed. It is advisable to create this table prior to commencing with testing.

RF/ID tags
In this menu you can read tags and assign or change the string number.
Point the tag reader antenna at the tag and pull the trigger. The tag reader
beeps when the tag number is acquired.
Once read, the tag ID is displayed under the text Tag. If it's the first time this
tag has been read the text NEW appears. A default string number is
assigned to the tag ID. The default number is the previous 'new' string
number plus one. This is may not be the string number you wish to allocate
to this tag ID. To change the string number press
The SMT-200 has a special menu for the tag
reader. In the Main menu you will find the
submenu Tag menu.... When you enter this
menu you will see two items. Read tags and Tag
list. Enter the Read tags item to make a cross
link table.
