Version 8.4 - Release Notes February 2006

Feature Details  back to version info
Java API Introduced in V2.5 of the Loftware Connector®, Java API is now available with LPS. Comprehensive Class packages, sample programs, and documentation come together to provide sophisticated labeling and RFID technology solutions for enterprise Java application developers.
Tag Reading and Writing The RFID Reader Module (RRM) enables applications that use Loftware's Reader Control API to process read-tag and write-tag requests.

More Information on RRM
More Information on the Reader Control
RFID Simulator Designed to simulate RFID reader functionality, the RFID Simulator can be used to test applications that use readers to encode data to tags without an actual reader or tag.

More Information
RFID Readers Supported readers include:
RFID Calculator Use as a stand-alone application or launch from LLM™ to encode or decode EPC data, the RFID Calculator is an indispensable tool for data verification.

More Information
.NET Reader API
 Plug the Loftware Reader Control (LRC) API into your RFID reader applications and significantly reduce development time. Applications that use the LRC can maintain tight control of the readers along with the other hardware and data that control the business process.

More Information
Filtering Information returned by the Reader Control can be formatted and filtered by using XSL style sheets to supply only data that meet criteria specified in the style sheet.

More Information
Sample Applications Four sample programs are included that replicate real world scenarios and demonstrate some common RFID Read and Write functionality.
