3.1.5
Real Time Mode Configuration
Real-time mode (RTM) refers to the ability of the VR2C to transmit tag detection information in the ASCII
format on a user specified schedule over the RS232/RS485 serial port with or without user interaction.
When enabled, RTM allows a host (for example: datalogger, PC, serial terminal) to simply listen to the
VR2C serial port and pipe the receiver’s ASCII input data stream to a file or straight to a terminal where it
can be easily read without complicated interpretation. As well as this automated data flow, RTM can also
be used in a polled configuration where the VR2C outputs the ASCII tag detection information only when
instructed to do so.
VUE allows for basic RTM setup which will remain in the VR2C after it is disconnected from VUE, as
explained in the steps below.
Establish communication
between the VR2C and
the VUE software
(section 3.1.2).
STEP 1
Click the Device Configuration icon (looks like a
wheel cog) on the VR2C Receiver T
ab’s ribbon.
This icon is not available if communication
between the VR2C and VUE is not established.
STEP 2
Select “RTM Configuration” from
the list that appears under the
Device Configuration icon.
STEP 3
Select the radio button corresponding with the desired RTM mode:
disabled, RS232, or RS485.
STEP 4
Continued…
NOTE:
If “disabled” is
selected, skip
Step 5 as it does
not apply.
