1 | Introduction
As RFID begins to supplement bar codes in many
applications, both technologies will co-exist for
many years. Now you can add high frequency RFID
read/write and laser bar code scanning capabilities
to your Pocket PC-based data collection application
with the Socket CF RFID Reader-Scan Card. This
dual-function device reads and writes to all ISO
15693 and many proprietary 13.56 MHz RFID tags
and also scans all common linear bar codes.
The CF RFID Reader-Scan Card is sleekly designed
with no cables or batteries – it draws minimal power
from the Pocket PC. Plus, the card is designed to
withstand repeated three-foot drops to concrete –
even when inserted into the Pocket PC.
About the Software
SocketScan™ enters the RFID tag ID or bar coded data
directly into any open Windows program, as if the data were
manually typed. You can configure Prefix/Suffixes,
enable/disable bar code symbologies, and assign a beep tone
to signify good data reads.
The RFID Setup utility allows you configure what kinds of
data are returned after reading RFID tags, including tag ID,
tag memory, tag types, tag type prefix, etc. You can also
enter a string used to indicate read errors and enable/disable
inventory mode.
Socket RFID Demo allows you to read memory blocks of
selected RFID tags in range in either Inventory Mode or a
continuous Loop Mode. For advanced users, there is also the
capability to write data to the RFID memory.
SocketScan Trigger places a software trigger on your screen
that you can tap to trigger the reader or scanner. Installation
is optional.
