Programming Interfaces

MercuryAPI

Applications to control the M6 and Astra-EX reader, and all ThingMagic Reader products,

can be written using the high level MercuryAPI. The MercuryAPI supports Java, .NET and

C (for on-reader applications) programming environments. The MercuryAPI Software

Development Kit (SDK) contains sample applications and source code to help developers

get started demoing and developing functionality. For more information on the

MercuryAPI see the MercuryAPI Programmers Guide and the MercuryAPI SDK, available

on the ThingMagic website.

Demo Applications

The primary, “Quick Start”, demo for reading tags is the Query Page of the Web Interface.

For more advanced functionality, and also a starting place for building custom

applications, a demo application is provided in the MercuryAPI SDK package. The

executable for this example is included in the MercuryAPI SDK package (available on

rfid.thingmagic.com/devkit) under /cs/samples/exe/Universal-Reader-Assistant2.0.exe.

See the Universal-Reader- Assistant 2.0 User Guide (on rfid.thingmagic.com/devkit) for

usage details.

LLRP

LLRP is the EPCglobal standard (http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards/llrp/llrp_1_0_1-

standard- 20070813.pdf) used for communication between the M6 and Astra-EX and a

client application. The M6 and Astra-EX should be “drop-in compatible” with systems

supporting the standard LLRP protocol. Middleware such as BizTalk and WebSphere

have standard LLRP adapters that can work with the M6 and Astra-EX. In many cases

custom extensions are implemented to support non-standard configuration options and

commands, which are often reader specific. If your LLRP based client uses such custom

extensions it is likely that modifications will need to be made to support the M6 and Astra-

EX. In addition some M6 and Astra-EX functionality is only available through the use of

custom extensions.

For more information on direct use of LLRP, the ThingMagic custom extensions and the

open source LLRP ToolKit please contact ThingMagic support

(support@thingmagic.com).
