1 | Introduction
Now you can add high frequency RFID
read/write capability to your Windows Mobile
based data collection application with the CF
RFID Reader Card Series 6. The series includes
the dual function CF RFID Reader-Card 6M and
6P, which offer both RFID and linear bar code
scanning functionality. All three versions read
and write to all ISO 15693 and many
proprietary 13.56 MHz RFID tags.
The CF RFID Reader Card Series 6 includes three versions:
•CF RFID Reader Card 6E: CompactFlash RFID Reader/Writer
•CF RFID Reader-Scan Card 6M: CompactFlash dual-function
RFID Reader/Writer and Class 1 laser bar code scanner
•CF RFID Reader-Scan Card 6P: CompactFlash dual-function
RFID Reader/Writer and Class 2 laser bar code scanner
The CF RFID Reader Cards feature a sleek designed with no
cables or batteries – they draw 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™ software 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 various settings, like Prefix/Suffix,
symbologies, etc.
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.
Socket RFID Demo allows you to read memory blocks
of selected RFID tags in range in either Inventory
4
Mode or a continuous Loop Mode. Advanced users
can write data to the RFID memory.
SocketScan Trigger places a software trigger on your
screen that you can tap to trigger the RFID reader or
bar code scanner. Installation is optional.
The Socket Trigger Select program allows you to
press a button to quickly switch between the RFID
and laser scanning modes of the CF RFID Reader-
Scan Card.
The Read Bar Code program allows you to assign a
button on your device to triggering the bar code
laser scanner.
The Read RFID program allows you to assign a
button on your device to trigger the RFID reader.
