More Info:
- 3919_0 Tags are being used - (T5577)
- Test text has been loaded on each tag using the RFID-Full program
- Phidget control panel sees both readers but, when RFID-Full is launched for each reader, neither device will scan; when one device is connected, each reader will scan.
- Firmware was updated on 10/21/2016 for both devices. Was unable to simultaneously use both devices before and after the firmware update.
- Written Text: test1 Protocol: Phidgets to Tag 1
- Written Text: tes Protocol: Phidgets to Tag 2
