Single Tag
— Single-tag interlock mode. This is the basic
channel transfer mode. It is the slowest method of data
transfer. Select this mode when no other transfer mode is
available on the host.
•
High Speed
— High-speed transfer mode. Although it
maintains a single-tag interlock mode, this mode provides a
higher speed of data transfer than the single-tag mode.
•
1.25 Mb Data Streaming
— Data streaming at 1.25 MB per
second. This mode is faster than either of the two single-tag
interlock modes.
•
2.5 Mb Data Streaming
— Data streaming at 2.50 MB per
second. This mode provides the fastest data transfer.
