Creating new device settings

In the device settings, you define the protocol for communication between reader and host.
If you use "Autoread" mode, you can optionally also configure reader feedback (e.g. LEDs and
beepers). The creation of new device settings ("Extend Configuration > Settings > Device
Settings") is described below.
Factory device settings
The RF1000 readers are delivered with factory device settings (e.g. transmission speed). If the
factory device settings do not meet your needs, you need to create your own device settings
and overwrite the factory device settings with them.
Using multiple reader types in your project
You may use multiple reader types with different host protocols and/or different user
feedback (LEDs and beepers) in one project. If this is the case and the factory device settings
do not meet your needs, you need to create individual device settings for the different
readers or their tasks.
Requirement
The Config editor has been installed on your computer.
Creating a new device setting
Follow these steps to create a new device setting:
1. Open the Config editor by double-clicking the "config_editor.exe" file.
2. In the popup window, click the "Open..." button and select the configuration file ("*.balcfg")
for which you want to create device settings.
3. In the left part of the screen, click the "Extend Configuration > Settings > Device Settings"
button.
Note: Note that only one device setting can be assigned to each configuration file. If the
configuration file already has a device setting component, you need to remove it before
you can create a new one.
4. Fill out the device settings according to your requirements.
The various device setting parameters are described below.
