Writing to an RFID Tag 1. If the Start field is not already 0, double-tap in the field and type in 0 using
the keypad. This sets the RFID application to start reading/writing tags at
the first byte available for user data.
2. Double-tap in the Length field and type in 8 using the keypad. This sets
the RFID application to write a total of 8 bytes of data to the tag.
3. Tap the arrow next to the drop-down menu labeled “Mode” and select
ASCII
from the list.
4. Double-tap the UID field and type in 0 using the keypad. This allows the
RFID application to write to any ICODE compatible tag. If there is a non-
zero UID in the field, the application will only write to that specific tag.
5. If the checkbox labeled “Continuous” is unchecked, the RFID application
is in Single Read/Write mode and will only read/write the first tag. If the
checkbox is checked, tap the box with the stylus to clear it.
6. If the speaker symbol in the center of the bottom bar is blue, the sound is
on. If it is grey, tap it with the stylus to turn the sound on.
7. Tap on cell 0 using the stylus. Use the keypad to enter Rockwell in cells
0…7.
8. Place an ICODE compatible tag in range of the RFID module (typically
0.25…3 in. (6.35…76.2 mm) away, depending on tag size).
9. Tap the Write button with the stylus. A pop-up window will appear, asking
you to choose between Write from Screen and Write from File.
