ONE、Structure of Sunlit RFID DLL for PPC The Sunlit RFID DLL has 18 functions. They can separate into 3 groups：Comport operation、Device operation and Device information： Comport operation functions includes following 5 functions： SUNLITRFID_CFExist SUNLITRFID_Open SUNLITRFID_OpenII SUNLITRFID_IsOpen SUNLITRFID_Close. Most functions of SUNLITRFID_Open and SUNLITRFID_OpenII are the same, except using different parameters.
The following table lists all DLL FUNCTION and FUNCTION parameter. For more information, Please see FUNCTION Introduction.
The following picture represents how the DLL works with your program.
TWO、Program Declaration (1) Constant Definition The following table lists all constant definition that TYPE definition used. Definition #define PRODUCT_NAME_LENGTH Introduction 32 Define the length of product name information. (Unit：byte) #define MODEL_NAME_LENGTH 16 Define the length of model name information. (Unit：byte) #define HARDWARE_LENGTH 8 Define the length of hardware version information. (Unit：byte) #define FIRMWARE_LENGTH 8 Define the length of firmware version information.
(2) TYPE Definition The following table lists all TYPE definition that function used. Definition typedef struct { unsigned char data[TAG_LENGTH]; } SUNLITRFID_TAGID; Introduction Type definition of tag ID Since Mu-ID data is represented by 128 bits format, so we condense this 128 bit information by byte format. And every 8 bits data is respectively each byte, for example, data[0] represents bit120~bit127; data[1] represents bit112~bit119; data[TAG_LENGTH-1] represents bit0~bit7.
(3) MESSAGE Definition The following table lists all DLL function message and how to solve it. No. 1 Name HANDLE_SUCCESS Value 0x00 Introduction This message will happen when the function you called was executed successfully. 2 HANDLE_ERR_TAG_PASSIVE 0x20 This message will happen when you call “SUNLITRFID_ScanTag” in passive mode,and device found a tag. 3 HANDLE_ERR_TAG_NOT_FOUND 0x22 This message will happen when you call “SUNLITRFID_ScanTag” in passive mode,but device does’t found a tag.
11 HANDLE_ERR_UNKNOW 0xff Undefined error. Please record how this message happened and contact with us 〈www.sunlitcorp.com〉. 12 Others ? Unknow message. Please record how this message happened and contact with us 〈www.sunlitcorp.com〉.

4. Demo program source code ONE、The Main Framework of the Demo Program The following picture represents the main framework of the demo program.
TWO、Program Code Explanation ※There are many subroutines, following are the source code of to subroutines. The explanation is in accordance with user interface. (1) Open Comport Click “Open” button to open comport. The “Open” button executes the following code. void CWinceDEMODlg::OnBnClickedButtonOpen() { // TODO: 在此加入控制項告知處理常式程式碼 CString sTemp; TCHAR CFName[1024]; ZeroMemory(CFName, sizeof(CFName)); ButtonOpen.EnableWindow(false); if(!SUNLITRFID_IsOpen()) { ListMsg.
if(SUNLITRFID_Open(this->m_hWnd ,CFName,4800,&Environment)==HANDLE_SUCCESS) { Sleep(10); SUNLITRFID_Pause(); ButtonOpen.SetWindowTextW(CString("Close")); DrawEnvironment.ClearPicture(); sTemp.Format(CString("Open Comport <%s> Successed!!!"),CFName); ListMsg.InsertString(0,sTemp); if(ButtonMute.GetCheck()==BST_UNCHECKED) MessageBeep(MB_ICONASTERISK); } else { sTemp.Format(CString("Open Comport <%s> Fail..."),CFName); ListMsg.InsertString(0,sTemp); } } else ListMsg.
(2) Select Operation Mode “Operation Mode:” selects “passive” or “active”. Then click “Apply” button to apply setting. “Mode:” selects “passive” or “active”, it executes the following code. void CWinceDEMODlg::OnCbnSelchangeComboOpmode() { // TODO: 在此加入控制項告知處理常式程式碼 CString sTemp,sTemp2; BYTE byTemp=0; if(SUNLITRFID_IsOpen()) { SUNLITRFID_Pause(); ListMsg.
(3) Read Tag Click “Read” button to read tag. When it passive mode, reader will read tag once, when it is active mode, reader will start to read tag continuously. The “Read” button executes the following code. void CWinceDEMODlg::OnBnClickedButtonRead() { // TODO: 在此加入控制項告知處理常式程式碼 CString sTemp,sTemp2; BYTE byTemp=0; SUNLITRFID_TAGID TagID; ButtonRead.EnableWindow(false); SUNLITRFID_Pause(); byTemp=SUNLITRFID_ScanTag(&TagID); DrawEnvironment.
break; case HANDLE_ERR_NO_RESPONSE: ListMsg.InsertString(0,CString("Device has no response???")); break; default: sTemp.Format(CString("Undefined value:%d..."),byTemp); ListMsg.InsertString(0,sTemp); break; } SetEvent(hEventFlip); ButtonRead.EnableWindow(true); } APPENDIX：Development Environment Hardware Environment： Product Name：RFID CF Type Reader V3.0 Model Name：SLC-10200 Firmware Version：V1.0 or later Hardware Version：V1.
