Reader/Writer Mode Tab

When Reader/Writer mode is enabled and a supported NFC tag is presented, the Reader/Writer tab
automatically opens (see
read, bitrate of the communication, NFC technology, RSSI value, and Unique Identifier (UID) of the tag.
The Tag Content pane displays the contents of a tag that has been read when applicable. If an NDEF
message is stored inside the tag, the GUI attempts to parse the message and display it in ASCII. Text and
URI RTDs are automatically parsed. Other NDEF messages are displayed as an unknown RTD. If the tag
is not NDEF formatted, then the pane displays all raw data read from the tag. Any NDEF messages
received can also be found inside the NDEF.hex file located at: [Install Path]\tools\TI NFC Tool\TI NFC
Tool\bin\Debug
The Tag Write pane can be used to write a custom Text RTD or URI RTD to a presented tag by pressing
the WRITE button. The Tag Content screen displays a message to indicate whether or not the write was
successful. The GUI limits the message length to 246 bytes. It also can be used to format T5T tags for
NDEF messages with the FORMAT button.
When the tag is removed, then the Reader/Writer tab automatically switches back to the NFC
Configuration tab.
