2. Edit the device settings and update the following fields to the shown values:

Default Channel: ChipID

Pipe Name: \\.\pipe\ChipID

Mask: Y*

a. If the mask drop-down does not contain “Y*”, use “Add New” and manually add the mask:

3. Save the device and make the device active. To change the status to “Active”, check the device and use “(Re)Start Devices”:

4. Open the “Device Log” and scan a chip. If the device is set up properly, the parsed message should show as “<ChipID><(chipIDvalue)>”:
