Communication between V8 and a PC
To transfer the contents of the memory you must connect the reader to a PC via the USB cable. You
must then select the “Memory” menu and follow the instructions given on the display (see Block
Diagram: “Memory3”).
If the reader is connected to a PC it will transfer the number of the tag read on each reading. It is not
necessary for the “Memory” function to be activated to carry out this transfer.
Caution: for the reader to communicate with a PC, you must first install the driver and have software
such as Hyperterminal (Windows XP), Datatransfer (Felixcan), Realtrace Terminal, etc. which
enables the data to be displayed on the computer screen and processed if necessary.
