directly to the reader. To store this change on the reader so that it is safe against failure, you

need to click the "Transfer configuration to reader" button.

RSSI display
This area shows the measured RSSI values of the selected transponder. The bar chart

shows the maximum measured and the current or last measured RSSI value of the

transponder. The current RSSI value of the selected transponder is also displayed as a

numeric value. Using the arrow symbols, you can expand or reduce the window for the

numeric RSSI value. This allows you to read the current RSSI value even from greater

distances so that you can find the optimum alignment for the highest RSSI value quickly and

simply by varying the antenna position.
The RSSI value is also displayed by the status LEDs of the RF680R/RF685R readers and by

the "PRE" LED of the RF650R reader. Low RSSI values are shown in red, medium RSSI

values in yellow and high RSSI values in green.

7.3.9

The "Settings - Activation power" menu item

In the "Settings - Activation power" menu item, you can detect and optimize the activation

power of the various antennas. This function helps you to find the optimum radiated power

with which the transponder will be reliably identified without generating overshoot. This page

is divided into 3 areas:

●

Basic settings

●

Measuring range settings

●

Transponder list

●
