SensorRFA-GEVK: Getting
Started Guide Evaluation
Board User's Manual
Introduction
The SensorRFA SPS Evaluation Kit enables exploration and
development of applications using Smart Passive Sensors built around
®
the Magnus
−S chip from RF Micron. This evaluation kit includes:
•
ThingMagic Mercury6e Reader Module
•
UHF Antenna
•
Coaxial Antenna Cable
•
USB Cable
•
DC Power Supply
•
SPS Temperature and Moisture Tags
Software Tools
There are two separate applications that can be used with the
ThingMagic M6e. The Universal Reader Assistant (URA) is a useful
tool for utility tasks such as debugging the reader, re−progamming tag
EPCs, and quick inventory tests. This software can be found directly
from ThingMagic's website along with its' own set of documentation
at: http://www.thingmagic.com/manuals−firmware.
ON Semiconductor has developed an application specifically for
reading Smart Passive Sensors that unlocks the full functionality of the
tags. This is done by automatically detecting the type of tag and
reading back sensor data over time graphically. This application is
known as TagReader and can be found on this kit's landing page under
"Software".
Hardware Setup
The SensorRFA−GEVK requires three connections to be
made in the following order:
•
Connect one end of the coax cable securely to the UHF
antenna and then connect the other end to Antenna
Port 1 of the M6e module
