Snoop Pro Large 1.0 Release Notes

Released: September 2026

What is new

• An increased size of the Snoop Pro coupling element for updated Snoop Pro product family
  • The long coupling area to the typical lane movement direction is designed to provide more RF time for testing and encoding in high lane speeds.
• Low unit-to-unit variance: ±0.5 dB typical
• Comprehensive collection of shielding plates: opening lengths 30…120 mm in 10 mm increments, all 115 mm wide
  • The shielding plates are size coded: LRG1-<opening_length>x<opening_widht>,e.g., LRG1-90×115
  • The default collection of five different sizes is included in the Snoop Pro Large delivery.
• Integrated strobe light
  • Illuminates the tag from below, enabling precise visualization of the tag antenna position and accurate setting of the test start location.
  • Flashes a red light for failed tags.
  • On/Off switches for Strobe and Fail indicator.
  • The strobe functionality requires the Station IO cable version 1.2, which limits compatible lane controller versions: lane controller versions 1.1 and 2.0 support the strobe functionality.
  • Snoop Pro Large 1.0 can be used without the strobe functionality to measure only RF performance.
  • Note: Use of the strobe light is recommended only during production setup and triggering position verification, as certain RFID ICs may be sensitive to high-intensity light.
• The distances between the mounting holes in Snoop Pro Large 1.0 are the same than in Snoop Pro 1.0/2.0. So, for example, the same mounting plate can be shared between these Snoop Pro models.
