Rapid Read
Touch Rapid Read from the Home or Menu screen.
Figure 3-2
Rapid Read Screen
The Rapid Read and Inventory screens display the following data (see Inventory on page 3-5).
•
Total tag count
•
Read time (mm:ss)
•
Tag read rate (tags/sec)
•
Unique tag count (displays in the center of screen).
Rapid Read and Inventory screens are two different views of the inventory operation on the reader. The
start/stop functionality can be used interchangeably on both screens. For example, when the user starts the
operation on the Rapid Read screen and navigates to the Inventory screen, the button available on the
Inventory screen is STOP. The same is true when the operation starts on the Inventory screen. During the rapid
read process the user can navigate to the Inventory screen to view tag details along with tag counts for each
tag. The statistics displayed are maintained on the Rapid Read and Inventory screens regardless of the screen
used to start the process.
Touch START to start the rapid read inventory operation. Touch STOP to stop.
Moving to another screen does not halt the operation. However, attempting to make changes or perform
another operation while rapid read is in process results in an error.

NOTE The scan trigger on the RFD8500 can also start and stop the inventory operation. The reader must be in
RFID mode. Press the trigger to start, and press again to stop.
