This screen displays the reader’s tag data port settings and status as follows:
READER NAME – The reader’s configured name.
DATA RAW PORT – The reader’s RAW logging TCP/IP port which sends a message about every tag that is detected, even repeated detection’s. If required, configure your timing software to connect to the reader’s assigned IP address on this port. This is similar to legacy timing systems “RAW” port messages.
DATA FILTERED PORT – The reader’s FILTERED logging TCP/IP port which sends a single First Seen, Best Seen, and Last Seen message for every tag that is detected. This significantly reduces the amount of logging data sent to your timing computer. If required, configure your timing software to connect to the reader’s assigned IP address on this port. This is similar to legacy timing systems “FS-LS” port messages but includes Trident’s “Best Seen” which provides a more accurate timing measurement.
READER DATE & TIME – The reader’s current date & time. Check this matches your timing computer’s date & time. If they do not match you can synchronise via the TinyScore software which comes with your reader.
TAG READ COUNTER – A count of all tags read since the reader was last restarted.
