Creating your own application

Requirement
● You have installed the DLL file and the demo application.
● The reader is connected.
Note that the demo application is capable of running without Microsoft Visual Studio
(Express) being installed. You can view the source code with a text editor. To edit the source
code you require Microsoft Visual Studio (Express) on your PC.
Creating your own application
Follow the steps below to create your own application:
1. Establish the connection to the reader ("brp_open_usb_session").
2. Check cyclically whether a transponder is located in the read range of the reader
("vhl_select").
There is transponder in the read range:
– The transponder is recognized.
– Read out the serial number ("vhl_get_snr").
– Signal the application that the transponder with the serial number "x" was recognized.
– Check cyclically whether the transponder is still in the read range.
The transponder is no longer within the read range:
– Signal the application that the transponder with the serial number "x" is no longer
3. Terminate the connection to the reader ("brp_close_session").
The source code of the demo application can serve as an example for your own application.
