Ping Rate
Note: This settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the edit block ―Broadcast‖
Broadcast Interval: 0 = no broadcast messages are sent, value > 0 = Broadcast interval in seconds. This
can be set in steps of 0.5 sec, from 0.5 to 300 seconds.
Broadcast Message Options: The options in this field depend on the capabilities of the tag.
User Data Length: Configure the number of Bytes from the ―User Data‖ that is sent with a broadcast
message. The number starts from Byte 0 (zero). Please pay attention to the limits of the User Data
Length described at the end of this chapter.
2.2
Bursts when passing a Position Marker
Note: This settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the edit block ―Marker‖
Number of Bursts (New Loop): 0 = no bursts, max. 15 bursts
Time between Bursts (Marker): This sets a timeslot inside which the tag sends out as single burst. This
gives a random delay between every single burst message to avoid collisions with tags that are triggered
by the same source to burst. Possible settings are 40, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 ms. Please
read the details in the following subchapter ―Information on Burst Settings‖.
Marker Message Options: Entering a marker field triggers a burst. This parameter determines the
contents of the burst messages.
2.3
Bursts triggered by the Push Button
Number of Bursts (Push Button): 0 = no bursts, max. 15 bursts
Time between Bursts (Push Button): This sets a timeslot inside which the tag sends out a single burst.
This gives a random delay between every single burst message to avoid collisions with tags that are
triggered by the same source to burst. Possible settings are 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 ms.
Please read the details in the following subchapter ―Information on Burst Settings‖.
Push Button Message Options: Pushing the button triggers a burst. This parameter determines the
contents of the burst messages.
2.4
Limitations of the User Data Field
The total length of the broadcast message (burst or ping) is limited to 50 Bytes. So depending on the
broadcast message options, these are the allowed number of bytes for the user data:
User Data only => max. 50 Bytes of user data
Marker | User Data => max. 38 Bytes of user data
Marker | Push Button | User Data => max. 32 Bytes Bytes of user data
