Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 5: maxQueryRepCount: The maximum number of ISO 18000-6C QueryRep commands that will follow the ISO 18000-6C Query command during a single inventory round. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 6: toggleTarget: A flag that indicates if, after performing the inventory cycle for the specified target (i.e., A or B), if the target should be toggled (i.e., A to B or B to A) and another inventory cycle run. A non-zero value indicates that the target should be toggled. A zero value indicates that the target should not be toggled. Note that if the target is toggled, retryCount and repeatUntilNoTags 24/40 Copyright 2008 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program will also apply to the new target. 3. DynamicQAdjust: This algorithm modifies the previous dynamic Q algorithm by issuing ISO 18000-6C Query Adjust commands instead of ISO 18000-6C Query commands when adjusting the Q value. The items as follows:

1: startQValue: The starting Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 2: minQValue: The minimum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 3: maxQValue: The maximum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 4: retryCount: Specifies the number of times to try another execution of the singulation algorithm for the specified session/target before either toggling the target (if toggleTarget is non-zero) or terminating the inventory/tag access operation.

All rights reserved. ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program for WinCE Figure 9 2. Data Format: Sets the operation response data reporting mode for tag-protocol operations, as figure 10. The option is as follows:

COMPACT: The response data is limited to provide the application with the pertinent tag-access operation data, but minimize the amount of MAC-to-host communication overhead. NORMAL: The response data builds on the compact mode to provide the application with status and contextual information to give additional finer-grained feedback such as the beginning of inventory cycles, etc. EXTENDED: The response data builds on the normal mode by providing additional diagnostics and statistical information. Figure 10 3. Operation Mode: Sets the reader's operation mode, as figure 11. The option is as follows:

CONTINUOUS: In continuous mode, when a tag-protocol-operation cycle (i.e., one iteration through all enabled antenna ports) has completed, the reader module will begin a new tag-protocol-operation cycle with the first enabled antenna port and will continue to do so until the operation is explicitly cancelled by the application. NONCONTINUOUS: In non-continuous mode, only a single tag-protocol-operation cycle is executed upon the reader module. Figure 11 13/28 Copyright 2008 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program for WinCE Inventory Algorithm: Allows the application to set the currently-active singulation 4. algorithm, as figure 12. The option is as follows:

Then, you can edit parameters and click save button to refresh the values displayed in the Algorithm Settings View panel. Figure 13 Algorithm View Panel 1. FixedQ : Fixed Q algorithm. The items as follows:

1: qValue: The Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. 2: retryCount: Specifies the number of times to try another execution of the singulation algorithm for the specified session/target before either toggling the target (if toggleTarget is non-zero) or terminating the inventory/tag access operation. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 3: toggleTarget: A flag that indicates if, after performing the inventory cycle for the specified target (i.e., A or B), if the target should be toggled (i.e., A to B or B to A) and another inventory cycle run. A non-zero value indicates that the target should be toggled. A zero value indicates that the target should not be toggled. Note that if the target is toggled, retryCount and repeatUntilNoTags will also apply to the new target. 4: repeatUntilNoTags: A flag that indicates whether or not the singulation algorithm should continue performing inventory rounds until no tags are singulated. A non-zero value indicates that, for each execution of the singulation algorithm, 15/28 Copyright 2008 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program for WinCE inventory rounds should be performed until no tags are singulated. A zero value indicates that a single inventory round should be performed for each execution of the singulation algorithm. 2. DynamicQ: Adjusts the Q value based on the presence or absence of tags. The items as follows:

1: startQValue: The starting Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 2: minQValue: The minimum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 3: maxQValue: The maximum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 4: retryCount: Specifies the number of times to try another execution of the singulation algorithm for the specified session/target before either toggling the target (if toggleTarget is non-zero) or terminating the inventory/tag access operation. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 5: maxQueryRepCount: The maximum number of ISO 18000-6C QueryRep commands that will follow the ISO 18000-6C Query command during a single inventory round. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 6: toggleTarget: A flag that indicates if, after performing the inventory cycle for the specified target (i.e., A or B), if the target should be toggled (i.e., A to B or B to A) and another inventory cycle run. A non-zero value indicates that the target should be toggled. A zero value indicates that the target should not be toggled. Note that if the target is toggled, retryCount and repeatUntilNoTags will also apply to the new target. 3. DynamicQAdjust: This algorithm modifies the previous dynamic Q algorithm by issuing ISO 18000-6C Query Adjust commands instead of ISO 18000-6C Query commands when adjusting the Q value. The items as follows:

1: startQValue: The starting Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 2: minQValue: The minimum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 3: maxQValue: The maximum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 4: retryCount: Specifies the number of times to try another execution of the singulation algorithm for the specified session/target before either toggling the target (if toggleTarget is non-zero) or terminating the inventory/tag access operation. 16/28 Copyright 2008 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program for WinCE Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 5: maxQueryRepCount: The maximum number of ISO 18000-6C QueryRep commands that will follow the ISO 18000-6C Query command during a single inventory round. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 6: toggleTarget: A flag that indicates if, after performing the inventory cycle for the specified target (i.e., A or B), if the target should be toggled (i.e., A to B or B to A) and another inventory cycle run. A non-zero value indicates that the target should be toggled. A zero value indicates that the target should not be toggled. Note that if the target is toggled, retryCount and repeatUntilNoTags will also apply to the new target. 4. DynamicQThreshold: This algorithm uses a Q-modification algorithm that allows the application to control the change of the Q-adjustment-threshold value. The items as follows:

1: startQValue: The starting Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 2: minQValue: The minimum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 3: maxQValue: The maximum Q value to use. Valid values are 0 to 15, inclusive. minQValue <= startQValue <= maxQValue 4:retryCount: Specifies the number of times to try another execution of the singulation algorithm for the specified session/target before either toggling the target (if toggleTarget is non-zero) or terminating the inventory/tag access operation. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 5: toggleTarget: A flag that indicates if, after performing the inventory cycle for the specified target (i.e., A or B), if the target should be toggled (i.e., A to B or B to A) and another inventory cycle run. A non-zero value indicates that the target should be toggled. A zero value indicates that the target should not be toggled. Note that if the target is toggled, retryCount and repeatUntilNoTags will also apply to the new target. 6: thresholdMultiplier: The multiplier, specified in units of fourths (i.e., 0.25), that will be applied to the Q-adjustment threshold as part of the dynamic-Q algorithm. Valid values are 0-255, inclusive. 17/28 Copyright 2008 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.
