SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

To make full use of the functionality of the 2128P UHF Reader, a customised software application will be required.

The new 2128P

Bluetooth

UHF RFID reader incorporates TSL’s 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 www.tsl.com/2128p-downloads.
