Structure of the demo application

Among other things, the product DVD supplied with the readers contains a demo application
based on Windows .NET 3.5 including source code files ("RFID-Reader XML-Demo >
RFReader.TestApp.exe"). This demo application serves as a model on the basis of which
you can program your own user application. The demo application includes all the XML
functions described in the following sections and is fully functional. This gives you the
opportunity of testing your readers immediately using the demo application.
Note
Disclaimer of liability
Note that Siemens AG accepts no liability for the demo application "RFID Reader XML
Demo".
Components of the demo application
The demo application consists of the following components:
● Demo API "RFReader.XmlApi"
If you want to change the application files, you require Microsoft Visual Studio (as of
version 2012). An Express version is adequate.
The "RFReader.XmlApi" contains the XML API interface on which the demo application is
based. You control the XML interface at the PC end and make all XML functions available
via .NET. To be able to test the API in your own application, you need to reference the
following *.dll in your project:
– RfReader.XmlApi.dll
– RfReader.XmlApi.Data.dll
● Demo application "RFID Reader XML Demo"
"RFID reader XML Demo" is a simple Windows application with which you can send
commands predefined in the application files to the reader. This application can
communicate with several readers. For each physical reader, a new instance of
"RFReader.XmlApi" is generated and used by the demo application.
