select criteria for a write EPC is a bad idea since the operation cannot be easily
retried in the event of a partial write.

Tag Inspector

The Tag Inpector tab allows the full contents of a tagʼs memory banks to be displayed in

context.

Once the tag to operate on has been set the Tag Inspector will read the full contens of all

the memory banks of the tag, as long as they exist and are not read-locked and display
them as shown in Figure 13.

The Tag Inspector is a useful tool to learn about the varied contents of a Gen2 RFID tag

and the meaning of data in specific memory locations. It can also be used as a debugging
tool to verify expected contents on specific tags that might be behaving inconsistently. For
example, checking to make sure the tag is of the same type (TID Vendor and Model) as
other tags in use or verifying expected memory banks exist, are readable and have the
expected contents.

Note

In general the most reliable way to select a tag for inspection is by performing a
Read with an Embedded Read TID on full TID contents, then right-clicking on the
Data cell for the desired tag to Select on its TID value.
