Scenario 2 (Encode) – You have designed an RFID Smart Label or tag as described in the preceding sections.  After printing the label or writing to the tag with your data, you want to make sure that the EPC / DOD code in the tag obtained the correct value.  Use the bottom section of the utility to enter the encoding type and your data.

The purpose of this example is to verify the values using the Loftware RFID Calculator.  In this example, SGTIN-96 ALT encoding was used with the following values:

Table 5-31: SGTIN-96 ALT encoding sample data

1.  From the Options menu, select RFID Calculator.

2.  Click on the Select Encoding Type check box, and select SGTIN-96 ALT from its drop-down list.

3.  Type in the values from the table above.

4.  Click on the Encode button.

The Encoded Result in hex format is shown: 307A57BF400083C000000C81. 

To obtain the URI value, cut and paste the Encoded Result value into the HEX Value box of the Decode section, and then click on the Decode button.  Conversely, to encode a URI value, click on the Enter URI button, type in the URI, and then click on the Encode button.
