USING THE 1128 UHF READER

BUTTON OPERATION

The 1097 UHF Reader has two distinct operations which can be initiated from a button click: to scan for UHF transponders OR to scan for a barcode. Which operation is performed depends on the way in which the button is pressed; a Primary or Secondary button action.

PRIMARY BUTTON CLICK AND HOLD

- UHF Transponder Read

The primary button click is a standard button action:

● To initiate a primary button click press and hold the trigger button.

● To terminate a primary button click release the trigger button.

In the default conﬁguration the 1097 UHF Reader scans for UHF transponders as the primary function. The 1097 UHF Reader will continue to scan for UHF transponders while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning once the button is released (and the current operation completes).

SECONDARY BUTTON DOUBLE CLICK AND HOLD

– Barcode Scan

The secondary button click is a single click quickly followed by a second press (press-release-press).

● To initiate a secondary button click press then release then press and hold the trigger button.

● To terminate a secondary button click release the trigger button.

In the default conﬁguration the 1097 UHF Reader scans for barcodes as the secondary function. The 1097 UHF Reader will continue to scan for a barcode while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning when any of the following conditions are met:

● A barcode is scanned.

● The button is released.

● The barcode engine times out.

To use a 1097 UHF Reader with a Motorola terminal you need to associate the 1097

Bluetooth

Reader with a virtual serial port. This serial port is then used to communicate with the 1097 UHF Reader. The association is made using BTExplorer which can be launched from programs under the start menu of from the home screen as shown below.

The screen shots are taken from an MC70 running Windows Mobile 5 but the process is similar on MC75s, MC55s and on Windows Mobile 6.

Name: 1097-xxxxxx (device serial number)

● Default

Bluetooth

PIN: 0000

The 1097 UHF Reader uses the

Bluetooth

virtual serial port proﬁle. Most

Bluetooth

hosts / stacks support connecting to this proﬁle and present the connection to the host operating system as a standard serial port. Once the 1097 UHF Reader is paired and the 1097 UHF Reader is awake opening the serial port establishes the

Bluetooth

connection. Closing the serial port closes the connection.

First launch BTExplorer either from the start menu under programs or from the shortcut on the today screen. In this example wizard mode is used. The actions required are to discover and pair to the 1097 UHF Reader and then associate that connection with a serial port.

www.tsl.uk.com

1097 UHF Reader User Guide V1.2© Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd 2013

With the 1097 UHF Reader selected tap “Next” to initiate the pair process. Enter the PIN when prompted (by default this is “0000”) and tap OK, then tap ﬁnish to complete the pairing process.

First use “New Connection” to “Pair with Remote Device”. If “Discovering Devices” does not start automatically and the required 1097 UHF Reader is not listed in “All Devices” tap and hold in the “All Devices” area to bring up the context menu and select “Discover Devices”. Ensure that the 1097 UHF Reader is awake and ready to connect by pressing the button on the 1097 UHF Reader. This should start the blue LED ﬂashing. The

Bluetooth

name of the 1097 UHF Reader will match the serial number of the device by default (1097-xxxxxx). Select the required 1097 UHF Reader from the list of all devices.

BLUETOOTH

CONNECTION

FIGURE 11: Discover Device

You are then able to select which

Bluetooth

com port to associate with the 1097 UHF Reader. Select an available port from the options available. Tap “Finish” to complete the wizard and the association will appear as a favourite. In the example above if the 1097 UHF Reader with serial number “1097-UHF-DL-000102” is awake (blue LED ﬂashing) then when the terminal opens COM4: a

Bluetooth

connection will be established with the 1097 UHF

Reader. Closing COM4: will close the connection.

Now that the 1097 UHF Reader is discovered and paired it needs to be associated with a serial port. Start the wizard again, tap “New Connection” and this time select “Associate Serial Port” and select the 1097 UHF Reader you paired to in the previous steps.

Bluetooth

Settings window shows the association between

the 1097 and the serial port.

The

Bluetooth

setup is now complete. An application must open the selected COM port to start the

Bluetooth

connection. It is not possible to open the connection from the

Bluetooth

Settings window

To use a 1097 UHF Reader with a desktop computer you need to associate the 1097

Bluetooth

Reader with a

virtual serial port1. This serial port is then used to communicate with the 1097 UHF Reader.

The example shown uses the Microsoft

Bluetooth

stack but a similar process is required for other

Bluetooth

implementations and editions of Windows.

Either from the

Bluetooth

icon in the system tray or from the “

Bluetooth

Devices” control panel “Add” a new

device. This will initiate the

Bluetooth

discovery. Ensure the 1097 UHF Reader is awake by pressing the trigger

button (the blue LED will ﬂash).

It is possible to discover, pair and connect without a serial port using the Microsoft

Bluetooth

API if using a Microsoft

Bluetooth

DRIVER INSTALLATION

There are no drivers required for the 1097 UHF Reader. The

Bluetooth

connection uses the standard

Bluetooth

virtual serial port proﬁle. Once paired with a host the connection is presented as a serial port on the

Bluetooth

host

device.

Asynchronous messages are sent as ASCII hex where barcode and UHF transponders are scanned from a button press. In this way the 1097 UHF Reader can be used with the TSL SmartWedge applications to enter scanned data into other applications as if it was typed from a keyboard.

The reader also supports a command response interface for general reader conﬁguration, setting up the barcode engine and communication with the UHF reader. This is demonstrated from the demonstration application and supported by the UHF Reader API.

READER DEMONSTRATION

Technology Solutions provide a demonstration application which can be used to explore the functionality of the 1097 UHF Reader and test the read range for a particular transponder. This application and full instructions are available for download from the Technology Solutions website at http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm.

An example screenshot of the Demonstration software is shown in Figure 23.

FIGURE 24: Explorer Kit

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

To make full use of the functionality of the 1097 UHF Reader, a customised software application will be required. There are two approaches that can be taken:

● For basic applications requiring minimal software development expertise the reader supports an ASCII

command mode. 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 included on the Explorer Kit CD and are available for download from http://www. tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm. A simple Motorola Pocket Browser compatible application which uses the ASCII command mode is included on the Explorer Kit CD.

● For more advanced application requiring full control and conﬁguration of the reader a full managed code API

is provided on the Explorer Kit CD. This is supported with the source code for a sample application which demonstrates the use of all the reader functionality.
