Can I download buffered tags from a Destron-Fearing Pocket-Reader EX directly into P3?
No, you can’t transfer the stored tag codes directly from the Pocket-Reader EX into P3, but you can download and transform the codes to a text or CSV file, and then import those codes into P3. The stored codes must be downloaded using a serial communications application such as Hyperterm. Since the Pocket-Reader EX stores FDX tag codes in decimal, rather than hexidecimal, format you’ll need to transform the codes using a utility such as the Dec2Hex.xls application provided by PTAGIS. The saved list of transformed tag codes can then be imported into P3. Download the Instructions to connect to and download the PocketReader EX and a Sample Pocket-Reader EX terminal session. Download the PTAGIS Dec2Hex.xls transformation utility.
