The Quick Peek section lets you get a
glimpse of an actual tag’s memory, to
help you define your mask.
Defining a mask based on an EPC
prefix is easy
– just click the radio
button, enter the EPC data and click Set
Mask.
Defining an arbitrary mask requires you
to specify the bank and offset, along
with the data. This TID mask example
selects all Alien Higgs3 tags.
Using the Verify Mask feature, you can
make sure you’ve entered the mask
correctly. Be sure to test tags that match
as well as tags that don’t match.
Masks defined with the EPC Prefix
method are displayed on the utility
screens as that initial part of the EPC.
Masks defined with the Arbitrary method
are displayed on the utility screens with
the bank, offset, and data.
