click 【GET】 to get the result. There is a corresponding prompt and the current
function configuration of the device will be displayed
【ANT Inventory Time】:Default value:0ms,
(Parameter Description: this time represents the dwell time of each antenna. When the
time arrives, the next antenna will be switched to start inventory. 0 means that the time
limit is not enabled. If it needs to be enabled, it is recommended to set it to at least
50ms and increase it by 10ms)
【Antenna Inventory Times】:Default value:1,
(Parameter Description: this parameter indicates the inventory times of each antenna.
After one inventory, the next inventory will be switched. After all times of inventory,
the next antenna inventory will be switched. By default, it must be at least once.
Usually, it is enough to set only once. This parameter and 【ANT Inventory Time】 are
double values, which will take effect at the same time, At the same time, switch to the
next antenna according to the effective parameters)
【Repeat Times】:Default value:0,
(Parameter Description: all antennas will automatically enter the next cycle after
polling for one cycle. The default value of 0 is invalid, which means infinite cycles)
【Antenna Interval time】:Default value:0ms,
(Parameter Description: after the inventory of each antenna is finished, the next
antenna is switched to start inventory. This parameter indicates whether to wait for
time before switching to the second antenna after the inventory of one antenna is
finished. The default value of 0 means no waiting. If this parameter is enabled, it is
recommended to set it to at least 10ms increment)
【Repeat Interval time】:Default value:0ms,
(Parameter Description: after the end of each cycle, it will enter the next cycle. This
parameter indicates whether to wait for time to enter the next cycle after the end of one
cycle. The default value is 0, which means no need to wait. If this parameter is enabled,
it is recommended to set it to at least 10ms increment)
【Heartbeat Pack】:Default value:Not checked. Check if you need a heartbeat pack
(Parameter Description: the heartbeat packet can prompt whether the connection
status of the device is healthy or not. Generally, it is not enabled and can be checked
selectively,
