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.
