Reading RFID Tags with TWedge

Image
TEC-IT's data acquisition software TWedge allows an easy implementation of RFID controller protocols. TWedge can be adjusted to communicate with RFID controllers in a bi-directional way. Reading and processing tag identifiers is as easy as reading/writing tag data! The following TWedge script can be used to read RFID Tag IDs from EMS Datalogic RFID Controllers (utilizing the ABx Fast Protocol). The following script performs the following functions: 1) Query the RFID controller by pressing the hotkey 2) When data is received test it for a valid response 3) Display data in MessageBox Try it yourself - Download the software wedge for free ! Keep in mind: V2.3 or higher is required! Global Helper Functions HEX Conversion function encodeHex(input) { hexOutput = ""; for (i=0; i hexOutput = hexOutput + ' ' + Dec2Hex(input.charCodeAt(i)); } return hexOutput; } function encodeDec(input) { decOutput = ""; for (i=0; i decO...

QRCode Mobile Marketing in Austria

Japanese companies are using the 2D codes for marketing purposes as well as for really useful applications (e.g. public transport schedules with ticketing possibilities).

When decoding them you will be forwarded to the booking page. I assume that this specific marketing campaign is just a test-run. The slogans are not bad, but they do not provide enough informati...

QR-Code Tags in Action

The site www.mobyware.ru tags its download pages with QR-Codes created by the web-based barcode generator of TEC-IT. This QR-code tags makes downloading and sharing of software really easy: Just decode the barcode with reader software for your mobile phone (e.g. barcode Scanner for Google G1) and navigate to the URL which is encoded in the symbol. Never type URLS again ;-)
