Saving Tag Data

A list of read tags can be saved on the mobile computer. The application saves the tag list to the "\My
Documents" folder and names the file RFIDTaglist.csv.
The file is a .csv format (comma separated text file). This file format can be read by MS Excel, or other
applications that support .csv. The sample file contains the following information.
Time Stamp, Tag ID, Tag Type, Read Count:
