CAENRFID Classes
In .NET (henceforth C#) and Java languages, CAENRFID methods are divided into the following classes:
Class
Description
CAENRFIDEventArgs2
This class defines the CAENRFID event arguments.
CAENRFIDException
This class defines the CAEN RFID exceptions.
CAENRFIDLogicalSource
The CAENRFIDLogicalSource class is used to create logical source
objects. Logical source objects represent an aggregation of read
points (antennas). Operations on the tags are performed using the
logical source methods. In addition to the methods used to operate
on the tags, the logical source class exports methods to configure the
anticollision algorithm and to configure the composition of the
logical source itself.
CAENRFIDNotify
This class defines the structure of a notification message.
CAENRFIDReader
The CAENRFIDReader class is used to create reader objects which
permit to access to CAEN RFID readers' configuration and control
commands.
CAENRFIDReaderInfo
The CAENRFIDReaderInfo class is used to create reader info objects.
Reader info objects represent the information about the reader
device (model and serial number).
CAENRFIDTag
This class is used to define objects representing the tags. These
objects are used as return value for the inventory methods and as
arguments for many tag access methods.
Tab. 2.1: CAENRFID classes
Each class contains the following methods:
Methods
Description
CAENRFIDEventArgs Class
getData
Returns the event object value.
CAENRFIDException Class
getError
Gets the error string associated to the exception.
CAENRFIDLogicalSource Class
AddReadPoint
Adds a read point to the logical source.
BlockWriteTagData
Overloaded. This method can be used to write a portion of the user
memory in a ISO18000-6B tag using blocks of four bytes for each
command.
CustomCommand_EPC_C1G2
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a generic Custom
command as defined by the EPC Class1 Gen2 protocol specification.
The parameters are used to specify the type of the custom command
and its parameters.
EventInventoryTag
A call to this method will start a sequence of read cycle on each read
point linked to the logical source. The readings will be notified to the
controller via event generation.
Fujitsu_BurstErase
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a BurstErase custom
command as defined by the Fujitsu datasheet.
Fujitsu_BurstWrite
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a BurstWrite custom
command as defined by the Fujitsu datasheet.
Fujitsu_ChgBlockGroupPassword
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a
ChgBlockGroupPassword custom command as defined by the Fujitsu
datasheet.
Fujitsu_ChgBlockLock
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a ChgBlockLock custom
command as defined by the Fujitsu datasheet.
Fujitsu_ChgWordLock
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a ChgWordLock custom
command as defined by the Fujitsu datasheet.
Fujitsu_ReadBlockLock
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a ReadBlockLock custom
command as defined by the Fujitsu datasheet.
Fujitsu_Refresh
Overloaded. This method can be used to issue a Refresh custom
command as defined by the Fujitsu datasheet.
