1.overview

ED7999 data configuration tool runs on the Windows operating system and is connected to the ED8000 or WT8002  via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth based virtual serial port interacts with the embedded software in the ED8000 or WT8002 reader/writer, and reads the ID number and other information of the electronic marker through the ED8000 or WT8002. It can edit and write information other than Unit Code and ID into the memory of the electronic marker, and update the cached configuration data in the ED8000 or WT8002.

2.Functionality

2.1 Connect the locator or reader/writer

Select the device to be connected through the Bluetooth selection button "Select Bluetooth (T)". The default Bluetooth name for a typical locator is "ED8000", the default Bluetooth name for a reader/writer is "WT8002", and the pairing code is set to the default value of "1234".

After a successful Bluetooth connection, click the "Connect (C)" button to establish a data communication connection. Once successful, the detector or reader can be used for data reading, writing, or configuration.

In theory, the ED7999 can be adapted to the built-in Bluetooth function or external USB Bluetooth module of all commonly used computers on the market. Currently, laptops with built-in Bluetooth modules that have passed testing include Lenovo ThinkPad T490S and Huawei MateBook D14; Tested USB Bluetooth modules: 5.1 Bluetooth USB adapter, 5.3 Bluetooth USB adapter, 5.4 Bluetooth USB adapter. Whether other built-in Bluetooth functions or external USB Bluetooth adapters can be used needs to be tested by the user themselves.
