Universal Reader Assistant

v2.6

User Guide

Introduction

This document explains how to use the Universal Reader Assistant (URA) application,

version 2.6 and later, for testing and performance tuning ThingMagic reader products.

URA is written using the high level MercuryAPI in C# .NET. All the source code for URA is

available as part of the MercuryAPI SDK. The MercuryAPI supports Java, .NET and C
programming environments. The MercuryAPI Software Development Kit (SDK) contains
additional sample applications and source code to help developers get started demoing
and developing functionality. For more information on the MercuryAPI see the
MercuryAPI Programmers Guide

and the MercuryAPI SDK, available on the ThingMagic

website.

This document assume you have read the corresponding Hardware Guide for the specific

ThingMagic reader being connected to and understand how the reader is connected.

Note

Many features in URA v2.4 and beyond will not work with Astra. For use with Astra
it is recommended you request an older version of URA from ThingMagic.
