The AVID Power Tracker VIII is an identity tag reader with memory and translation capabilities. Its patented Multi-Mode technology enables it to read id tags from different manufacturers. The Power Tracker VIII is capable of reading, translating and storing up to 2000 AVID, FECAVA or ISO FDX-B coded ID tags. The ID code can be displayed as manufactured or translated to an alphanumeric format as defined by the user. For example: the ID tag can be displayed as "AVID*123*456*789" or displayed as "MATTHEW-2432". The ID code, in its original or translated format, can be displayed on the Power Tracker’s 16 character LCD, downloaded via RS-232 to a computer, or stored in the reader’s memory. Additionally, the user may choose to display and output the ISO FDX-B code in several formats including hexadecimal.
In the operational mode, the Power Tracker emits two beep tones and visual LED flashes to signal that an identification tag has been read. When not in use, four beep tones sound every three minutes to warn the user that the unit is still on.
