Snoop Pro Mini 3.0 Release Notes

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 Mini 3.0 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.

Backward Compatible

Snoop Pro Mini 3.0 is drop-in compatible in RF performance with Snoop Pro Mini 2.0, except in cases where a narrow tag is positioned close to the edge of a large shielding plate opening, Snoop Pro Mini 3.0 exhibits better coupling and higher sensitivity.

Mechanically, largely backward compatible with Snoop Pro Mini 2.0.

• The same shielding plates can be used.
• Features the same attachment holes in the bottom plate.

Note: Due to the integrated strobe functionality, the Strobe RJ45 connector slightly increases the Snoop Pro Mini 3.0’s dimensions compared to the previous version.
