2.Software Tuning Instruction
2.1：Preparations and instructions
You need to prepare first: software debugging AM motherboard, debugging cable,
debugging software and driver. As shown below
2.2：Software and driver installation;
Before debugging, you need to install the driver of debugging cable, otherwise
the computer cannot recognize the port number and debugging cannot be
performed. This debugging cable is USB to 232 serial port. After the driver is
installed, the computer will automatically assign a port number. You need to choose
different installation methods according to whether the computer is 32-bit or 64-bit.
As shown below.
The debugging software does not need to be installed, just click "STEAS.EXE". As
shown in Figure 2. When the debugging software is not connected to the power-on
motherboard, the page has no data, and the following Figure 3 is displayed.

2.3：Introduction to Software Debugging
1:Power on the main board first, and connect the debugging cable. Need to pay
attention that :the bigger port of the debug cable Connect to the USB
port of the computer, and the other port connect to the motherboard.
2: After connecting the debugging cable, open the debugging software and
select the correct port number. Then click "Open", the motherboard will upload the
data to the software. The software presents the parameter interface, as shown in
Figure 5 below:
Figure 5
3: Before debugging, check whether the "communication status" light is green.
Green means communication is normal and data is correct; orange means
communication is abnormal and data is incorrect. "AC frequency" reflects the AC
frequency of the current power supply, and "equipment operating time" reflects the
current operating time of the equipment . As shown in Figure 6;
Figure 6
3. Software parameter description.
3.1: Channel settings
The parameters in channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3 are independently debugged
and are not affected by each other. As shown below Figure 7
Figure 7
MIN: Comparison value debugging. It mainly compares the similarity between signal
value and non-signal value. The higher the numerical value, the lower the sensitivity
of the system, and the lower the numerical value, the higher the sensitivity. The
default value is 40.
Sensitivity level : In the case of low noise, the higher the level, the farther the
detection will be. However, in the case of high noise, the higher the level, the higher
the noise value, and the detection distance may be shorter, depending on the actual
use environment. Normally, no debugging is required, and it is in the default
value(middle).
Rx gain: The gain is divided into 10 gears, 0-9 respectively. The larger the gain value,
the longer the detection distance and the higher the noise. It also depends on the
noise situation on site. The factory setting is 9. When the noise level is high in the
field installation and the detection effect is not good, this value can be reduced to 6
or 7. At this time, the noise may be reduced and the detection effect will be
improved.
Alarm counter: Count the number of alarms for this channel. Without storage
function, after power off, reset to 0.
3.2: System settings
all parameter settings in this column are valid for 3 channels at the same
time.
Figure 8
Mini threshold :Lowest signal trigger value,The lowest threshold of label energy
(lowest threshold) is detected. When the signal value is higher than the lowest
threshold, it will be recognized as a label signal. If false alarms occur, this value can
be increased, but the detection distance will be affected, depending on the actual
use environment. The default value is 90.
RX delay : window delay setting. The main adjustment is to prevent receiving the
tail waveform of the transmission, or the waveform of the transmission being
bounced. The adjustment range should not be too large (recommended value is
between 4~6). The larger the value, the lower the sensitivity will be. The default
value is 4.
Static Identification: This function is mainly used when there are static tags near
the antenna, the system will alarm for a period of time, and will not continue to
alarm. Prevent the phenomenon that keeps alarming all the time;
Anti-interference mode: This function is mainly used when there are other same
58K systems in the current environment, but the synchronization cannot be
performed, or the interference is strong and cannot be eliminated. When this
function is turned on, false alarms may occur, so we recommend using this function.
The default value is off.
TX time: This item is to adjust the transmit pulse width. These four different
transmit pulse widths basically include the common transmit pulse width. 3.5ms is
used by default,and sensormatic equipment uses 6.6ms more. When adjusting the
phase synchronization value can not solve the problem, you can modify the value of
this item to solve the problem.
3.3:Alarm Output
Alarm type: According to the buzzer or loudspeaker, select the corresponding type,
otherwise an abnormal alarm will occur.
Alarm length: the duration of the output port alarm.
Buzzer type: When the alarm type is buzzer, this selection will take effect.
Intermittent output is an intermittent alarm sound. The continuous output is a
continuous alarm sound.
3.4:Work mode
Work mode: This function is used to set the working mode of the antenna
connected to each channel.
The three channels can be set to different working modes. TR: Means the
transceiver(MONO); TX: means transmitting; RX: means accepting. The table in the
figure is a simple annotation to the mode.
Mode 0: Three channels are transceiver mode (MONO)
Mode 1: CH2 transmit CH1 receive CH3 transmit
The outer sides are closed on both sides, (in dual mode, CH1 is putted in the
middle to receive, CH2, CH3 is put on both sides to transmit)
Mode 2: CH2 receive CH1 transmit CH3 receive
Both sides of the outer side are closed, (in dual mode, CH1 puts the middle
transmission, CH2, CH3 puts both sides to receive)
Mode 3: CH2 Transmit, CH1 Transceiver(MONO) CH3 Transceiver(MONO)
The outer side of CH2 is closed, CH2 only transmits, and CH1 is placed in the
middle transceiver and CH3 transceiver.
Mode 4: CH3 Transmit, CH1 Transceiver(MONO) CH2 Transceiver(MONO)
The outer side of CH3 is closed, CH3 only transmits, and CH1 is placed in the
middle transceiver and CH2 transceiver.
3.5:Synchronization
System synchronization settings: On this page, the main functions are to debug
the phase of the device and view the signal and noise value of each channel .
Surrounding phase: the red line here shows: the current device's Transmitted
wave width and interval. The black line shows the non-local 58K signal on the current
power supply (may be 58K noise on the power supply or 58K signals Transmitted by
other AM devices). The red and black lines will refresh automatically every 3 seconds.
Channel selection: you can see the noise situation of different channels.
Synchronization setting (phase adjustment): Adjust the phase of the
transmission by clicking Move Left or Move Right. You can see that the position of
the transmitted waveform will move. Adjusting the different phases is to avoid
external interference and achieve synchronization during the time period of receiving
the signal. As shown below:
Channel signal: The signal value and noise value of the three channels can be
displayed at the same time. When the environmental noise is more complicated, by
adjusting the phase, you can intuitively see the changes in the signal and noise value,
so as to find a better phase and reduce the noise value.
1:Click "Display", and the device will upload data to display the noise and signal
values of the three channels.
2:"Pause transmitting" means to stop the device from transmitting 58K signals.
This function is used to exclude false alarms caused by nearby tags.
When the signal and noise values are "displaying", the system will not trigger an
alarm, so remember to turn off "displaying" after debugging. The signal value is
detected as shown in the figure below, and the red histogram rises.
4. Record
This page function mainly records some debugging operations, temporarily for
development, waiting for follow-up improvement. . . . . . .
