After Juniper receives your signed agreement, we will send you our development files (JSPN 26843), which include an explanation on how to power this expansion module and a sample M2-RFID-Power.exe program. A brief preliminary explanation of these code samples are provided in the following documents. The "Application Setup" section contains information necessary for communicating with the RFID module.

Once you are able to initially power and communicate with the module, further details regarding the Mercury API (that is used to more extensively communicate with the Jadak ThingMagic RFID modules) is provided starting at this web page.

The released version of our RFID Connector utility can scan one tag at a time and wedge that data into other apps. When writing your own separate software application, it is technically possible to set the RFID module to a Continuous Reading mode for scanning multiple tags automatically within a set power (range) and time limit (based on region requirements). An example Universal Reader app is available from Jadak to show this function. If a further example is needed, we can provide a modified developer version of our RFID Connector utility to show this function. These examples only temporarily display all scanned tag data in a window, so you must write your own software for being able to actually collect and use the data.
The released version of our RFID Connector utility can scan single-line tags or just the first line of multi-line tags such as on train rail cars. If desired, we can provide an alternative sample version of our RFID Connector utility with source code which can display all data of multi-line tags, though it is just a demo so does not “wedge” or otherwise output/export data.
