Configuration Examples
The following examples illustrate ways to optimize RFID settings for specific
situations.
Reading tagged items from an entire shelf
1. Press the trigger and move across the items on the shelf.
As new tags are found, the Falcon will beep and new data will immedi-
ately be sent to an application.
2. Continue passing over all the items until no beeps are heard, which is an
indication that all tags have been read.
Read a single tag while avoiding reading other tags
1. Place the RFID antenna close to the tag you wish to read and press the
trigger.
The initial low power level should limit the tags which receive RF energy
to those which are close to the Falcon. If the Falcon isn't close enough,
having
Growing Power enabled will allow the RF power to increase just
enough to read the nearest RFID tag in range.
2. Once the first tag is read, then the operation will stop.
