SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
To make full use of the functionality of the 1153 UHF Reader, a customised software application will be required.
The new 1153
Bluetooth
®
UHF RFID reader incorporates TSLs unique ASCII protocol for faster and easier
application development. This sophisticated parameterised ASCII protocol provides the developer a powerful set
of commands that carry out multiple actions locally within the
Bluetooth
®
reader. This approach enables multiple
tag operations executed using simple pre-configured ASCII commands which not only speeds integration of
the reader into applications but also abstracts the developer from some of the complexities of the underlying
Native API. Simple, text based commands are sent to the reader and responses are returned as text. This allows
straightforward access to RFID tag functions such as inventory, read and write. Details of the ASCII command
mode are available for download from http://www.tsl.uk.com/1153-downloads/ .
