Saving Tag Data

A list of read tags can be saved on the mobile computer. The application saves the tag list to the "\My
Documents
" folder and names the file RFIDTaglist.csv or the user can enter a different name/folder
combination.

The file is a .csv format (comma separated text file). This file format can be read by MS Excel, or other
applications that support .csv. The sample file contains:

Time stamp, tag ID, tag type, read count:

2004-09-17T15:34:53-05:00, H22EEDDAEBFCCEDEE, C1, 10

2004-09-17T15:34:53-05:00, H8000800545234227, C1, 10

2004-09-17T15:34:57-05:00, H8000800428254124, C1, 15

The time stamp format is:

Year-month-dateTHour:Minute:seconds-
TimezoneHourDifferential(GMT):TimezoneMinutesDifferntial

The tag ID format is:

HTagData (H indicates the data is in hex)

The Tag Type format is:

CX, where X is the tag class. Currently the unit supports class 1 tags

The file can not be displayed on the mobile computer (with the factory supplied software). The file is
intended to be downloaded to a host and displayed using an application that can read comma
delimited fields, such as an Excel spreadsheet.

The file contains a one line header and one line for each unique tag found. The header line contains
a comma separated list of field text descriptions. The tag lines contain the Tag ID starting with 'H' for
hex, and a number indicating how many times the tag was read.
