14.5 How to: Upload RFIDs into the Reader
The feature of uploading RFIDs into the 9060 reader is to allow you to find particular RFIDs
that you need to identify. For example, if you need to find a particular animal that was treated
with a certain medicinal treatment, you can upload the RFID into the reader. When you read the
animal with that RFID, the reader will alert you with a long series of beeps so that you will know
you have found the animal you were looking for.
To use this feature, there are two steps you will need to perform three steps:
3. Create a file to upload into the reader.
4. Upload the RFIDs into the reader.
5. Set the reader up to check each RFID you read against the RFIDs you put into the
reader.
Before starting you will need:
4. Aleis DataLink installed on your computer.
5. A working COM port – you can check this by turning your 9060 reader on, and then opening
Aleis DataLink. Down the bottom right corner of the Aleis DataLink screen, you should see
that the software has connected to a particular unit.
6. A list of RFIDs that you want to put into the reader.
Step 1: Creating a file to upload into the reader.
Creating the file to upload into the reader is very easy. You can do this in Microsoft Excel or
Wordpad or Notepad. All you need to do is have a list of RFIDs with the word TAG as the first
entry, ie at the top of the list. It must look like this:
TAG
982 000023661452
982 000016654299
982 000027909419
982 000024909416
982 000009161045
982 000024566253
982 000015883922
982 000030781909
If you are using Microsoft Excel, then simply put this in Column A, with the word TAG
in Row 1.
Once you have done this, you will need to save this as a text file (*.txt). It is very important that
you save this as a text file or the operation will not work. Hint: When you save this, give it a
name that is five letters or less.
