Inventory Config

Inventory Param

Session

Set time it takes to read again the tag which is read once. (Time to move back to A after the inventory flag changes from A to B.)

    • Options:

      ValueDescription
      0None
      1Flag resets between 500ms to 5's (default)
      2 / 3Flag resets after 2's
    • Default: 1


Q

Set Q value to optimize the performance for each environment.

The RFID reader commands tags in an inventory round to choose the random number from 0 to 2^Q. If multiple tags have the same number, tags may not be read successfully because the RFID reader cannot recognize the tag data coming in simultaneously on the same channel.

Larger Q values decrease the probability of collision, but spend more time to read the tags.
Set low if the number of tags is low, and set high if the number of tags is high.

Point Mobile recommends to set 5 when you read multiple tags.

    • Range: 0 ~ 15
    • Default: 5


Flag

Set inventory flag of the tag which is going to read.
To improve performance, set A when reading multiple tags, and set A or B when you want to read one tag fast.

    • Options:
      • A
      • B
      • A or B
    • Default: A


Tag Focus

Makes the tags, which are read once, quiet to get opportunities to find other tags that not be read. And prevent reading the duplicated tags.

The tags forced to be quiet will wake up when the triggering ends (when the trigger key is up).

  • Available only to Monza tag from Impinj
  • Available only to specific Inventory Param values as follows. Otherwise, Tag Focus is not changeable.
    • Session = 1
    • Flag = A
  • Default: 
    • Turned on
