A DIVISION OF TRIMBLE USB Plus+ RFID Reader Setup Guide Introduction The ThingMagic USB Plus+ RFID Reader allows solutions developers to support applications that require desktop reading and writing of EPC Global Gen2 tags. Based on the best-in-class M5e-Compact UHF RFID module, the USB RFID Reader is controlled by, and powered from, a host PC or laptop through a USB interface.
Included Components A DIVISION OF TRIMBLE Included Components With the USB RFID Reader, you will receive the following components: ThingMagic USB RFID Reader USB cable Documentation and software development kit packages can be found at http://rfid.thingmagic.
Setting up the USB RFID Reader A DIVISION OF TRIMBLE Setting up the USB RFID Reader When setting up the USB RFID Reader, use the following procedures. Please read the full setup procedures before beginning. 1. Installing the USB Driver 2. Connecting the USB Reader 3. Reading Tags Installing the USB Driver The drivers and installation guides for installing the necessary device drivers to allow Windows to recognize the USB RFID Reader can be found at http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.
Reading Tags A DIVISION OF TRIMBLE Reading Tags The following procedure explains how to install and activate the Reader Assistant on your PC. Start the Universal Reader Assistant 1. Get Universal-Reader-Assistant from the ThingMagic website, its part of the MercuryAPI SDK package under /cs/samples/exe/Universal-Reader-Assistant.exe, and insall it on the computer that is connected to the USB Reader ( http://rfid.thingmagic.com/devkit). 2.
Reading Tags A DIVISION OF TRIMBLE LEDs are “High” when on, “Low” when off. Button/LED to GPIO Line Mapping Button/LED GPIO Line Button 1 (Yellow) Input 1 Button 2 (Red) Input 2 LED 1 (Yellow) Output 1 LED 2 (Red) Output 2 Note In the first shipment of USB Desktop Readers the Button/LED to GPIO line mappings were reversed. Button1=Input2, Button2=Input1, LED1=Output2 and LED2=Output1. If the Thingmagic logo is at the top of the label you have the old label and need to following the old mapping.
