Sensor Tag API
SensThys has worked with our RFID readers to optimize the perfomance of reading RFID Sensor tags. In addition to our PhySens Console that provides a straightforward Windows application for getting started reading sensor tags, we have taken the .Net library that is used by that application and extracted it into an API that can be used by customers to develop their own custom solutions.
The Sensor Tag API provided by SensThys is a .Net-based API for building applications to read RFID sensor tags that measure Temperatures and Sensor Codes. Sensor Code values measure the impedance of the antenna on an RFID tag. This impedance is affected by the surrounding medium so, when embedded or in proximity to media that transmit RF, the Sensor Code moves up or down due to these changes. Consequently, these tags can detect moisture levels, chemical properties of resins, as well as other factors.
Under the Articles web page, we have provided additional annotations and descriptive text for the example code that has been provided in the Sensor Tag SDK download. The example code should provide a quick way to get started with your own sensor tag reading application. Once you have this example running, you should be able to incorporate the code techniques into your own data acquisition server or graphical user interface applications.
