How can we change the “RF Mode Index” parameters to achieve higher reading rates?


There are a few things that can be done to increase throughput. They are listed below:

  1. Readers like the FX9600 support embedded custom applications. This is probably the best way to increase throughput because the main consumer of time for sensor applications is the "round trip" of every command-response going through USB or Ethernet.
  2. For very fast-moving objects, use multiple antennas. The FX9600 is highly optimized when it's multiplexing its antenna ports.
  3. For applications with softwares that include databases, it's possible to read the temperature calibration data when the tag is commissioned and store this data in the database. Subsequently, during the application use, there is no need to read the calibration data of each tag.
  4. If the application doesn't require a very accurate temperature measurement then you can read the temperature when the On-Chip RSSI is high. For example, applications intended to detect if something is overheating
  5. Activate the On-Chip RSSI measurement but don't use it as a filter. Allow the tags to answer every command. Then process the data in the application. This is doable when there are not many tags in the field of view of the reader.
