Introduction
This guide describes how to use the Handheld Evaluation
System to carry out sensor measurements using Magnus
®
−
S
technology
.
The system consists of the handheld reader,
charger, cradle
,
and sample sensor tags
.
The reader is pre
−
loaded with application software which
reads sensor tags and reports results with a single button
click. If the reader sees more than one sensor tag
,
it will
measure the tag with the highest reported received power,
and ignore the others.
The cradle is used for connecting the reader to a PC
.
This
is generally only required for updating the software on the
reader; it is not necessary for normal use
.
The reader has a
power plug for charging without the cradle
.
To use the
cradle
,
plug in the USB cable and power cable to the back of
the cradle
,
and connect the USB cable to the PC
.
Insert the
reader vertically into the cradle and then rotate the reader
backward to lock it in place (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Connecting the Reader to the Cradle
When the reader is connected
,
Windows should
automatically install the driver necessary to communicate
with it
,
and the Windows Mobile Device Center will launch
.
Access the reader memory by selecting “Connect without
setting up your device”, and then “Browse the contents of
your device” under “File Management”. See Figure 2
If Windows does not recognize the reader, install the
driver software in the WinDriverInstall folder provided with
this Evaluation System
.
