    GPI Motion Detector or Laser Sensor to activate RFID reads

    Hi Thomas, I would try hooking up the black wire to ground on the reader, and the White line to the GPI port you would like to use. That black line is normally open which will be closed when motion is detected and close the GPI port to ground. Let us know if this works.

    Motorola FX7500 Software

    Hi Thomas, Generally if a reader fails to start when using ClearStream it is due to another application being connected to the reader. This could include the sample tag reading demo accessible through the web interface. This can also occur if ClearStream fails to close properly and the...

    Motorola FX7500 Software

    Hi Peter, ClearStream will allow you to control the RFID readers without any programming and also control where the scanned tag information is sent. The web interface supplied with the reader will simply show you scanned tags, it cannot send these tags to something like an ODBC database such as...

    Backward compatibility for models

    Hi Dennis, Yes, models created in 3.1 should be fully supported when opening them in 3.0. The one exception to this would be a configuration in 3.1 of an Alien RFID reader that does not support LLRP. In 3.1 we added support for the Alien Reader protocol (ARP) to control the RFID Reader, which...

    How to scan the User and TID RFID memory banks in ClearStream

    One additional note: You may need to adjust the user and TID memory bank sizes for those Monza 4QT tags. You can do this near the option you just enabled for reading the additional memory banks. Just match it to the specs for those tags. Let us know if you have any questions on this.

    How to scan the User and TID RFID memory banks in ClearStream

    Hi Noora, The one thing it sounds like you could be missing is the 'Read all memory banks during scan' options enabled on the RFID Reader list form. This needs to be enabled when scanning the User and TID memory banks on an EPC Gen 2 tag. To get to the form simply click on the 'Readers' button...

    Trying to use an Alien 9680 reader with ClearStream

    Hi Connor, I'd just like to let you know that ClearStream RFID 3.1 has been released and the Alien Reader Protocol (ARP) is now supported. So, you should be able to use that Alien 9680 RFID reader with ClearStream. It will also support all current and future Alien readers that support either...

    Using the RFID tag event reporting features

    Yes, that all looks correct. When you start up the RFID reader you should now see that a tag that is seen by the reader for the first time will be reported immediately to your database. Then because of the timeout you have turned on for 'Back to Visible' you will not get another read of the tag...

    Using the RFID tag event reporting features

    Hi Jarred, Yes you are right you can use the tag event reporting features to accomplish what you trying to setup. To do this you will want to make sure Tag Event Reporting is turned on. Next, change each of the Tag Events to the 'Moderated' type, and configure a timeout for each one. The...

    New interface for starting and stopping readers

    Hi Martin, Thanks for the feedback. This is actually something we've been considering. The Start/Stop form is useful for checking reader status and turning the RFID readers on and off, but when the list gets much larger or you'd like other users to be able to perform these functions the...

    Finding RFID readers that do not match the selected manufacturer

    Hi Connor, Since both the Impinj RFID reader and the Motorola reader communicate through the LLRP protocol they will both accept a connection from ClearStream when performing the find readers function, and since some readers do not report the manufacturer the application will add both of the...

    Impinj RFID Antenna Hub

    Hi Jared, Yes, ClearStream RFID supports the Impinj Antenna Hub. We have actually tested it here in our offices. All you need to do is hook up all the hubs and antennas you would like to use to your Impinj Speedway RFID Reader, and then enable this option using the reader's web interface. After...

    Help with Stored Procedure return value to drive GPO lights

    I would agree with that. The user should have the option to use the return value as opposed to just the number of rows affected. I'll write that up as a feature request. Thanks for your input Sarah.

    What are the differences between the tag sessions in the Antenna List?

    Hi David, The tag sessions are defined by the EPC Gen 2 standard for an RFID tag. All compliant tags will support this feature. The tag sessions are used for two things, specify how long after a read a tag will respond to another inventory request by a reader, and the second is to allow...

    Help with Stored Procedure return value to drive GPO lights

    Hi Sarah, When using stored procedures the value used to compare against the condition property of the GPO is actually the number of rows affected within the stored procedure, not the return value. So, if you were to insert a single record the value compared to your GPO condition value would be...

    Trying to use an Alien 9680 reader with ClearStream

    Just as a quick follow-up to this post... I think all the current Alien readers that work with ClearStream have a '+' sign at the end of the model name. If you are still unsure take a look at the spec sheet for the RFID reader, that information is always there.

    Trying to use an Alien 9680 reader with ClearStream

    Hi Connor, The current release of ClearStream does not support that model Alien RFID reader. The Alien RFID readers that are supported by ClearStream include any reader that support LLRP. Unfortunately your 9680 does not support this protocol. We are however currently adding support for all...

    Hello everyone, I wanted to make a post on the forum to see if any of our users had any feedback on the virtual site survey tool available within ClearStream. Version 3.0 introduced the tool with the hopes that it would help our users better understand how a fixed RFID system can be used and...
