7.6 Setup
The APR600 is very flexible concerning its configuration. Several settings can be adjusted directly
in the device menu. However, it does not make sense to allow the modification of all possible
reader settings on the device itself
– this would make the menu structure far too complicated.
Settings which cannot be modified on the APR600 itself, are software-adjustable.
A possible software for altering all possible APR600 settings is
AgriLink
. A setup of this program
is located on the internal memory card.
The setup menu is divided into several other menus and submenus, which will be explained in
this chapter. The overview of the complete menu structure is explained in chapter 7.1.
7.6.1 Reader Settings
7.6.1.1 Animal Counter On/Off
The animal counter decides about the question, if double reads are saved or not. A double read
occurs if a tag with one and the same EID is read within the same group again. When the animal
counter is activated, it is not possible to store the same EID within the same group again. If not
activated, it is possible to do that - the APR600 does not check for double reads then.
Decide whether the Animal Counter should be activated or
not using the / / / keys and confirm with .
The display also looks different after reading a transponder depending on how this settings is
configured:
Animal Counter = off
Animal Counter = on
When the Animal Counter is not activated, the current group and the number of records in this
group is shown but the records can also include duplicate EIDs. When the Animal Counter is
activated, the displays shows ‘
Animals
’ instead of ‘
Records
’ – duplicates are not possible here.
