Prerequisites for working in the data editor
In order to process tag data, a tag must have been scanned by the SIMATIC RF680M device
and its tag ID must be indicated in the display. See Chapter Scanning RFID tags and their
tag ID (Page 65).
The tran
sponder data can be edited in the editor window in hex, ASCII or decimal format.
You can toggle between the two in the "Tools > Settings" menu. (See Settings (Page 80)).
