To confirm a successful installation, RFID reading should be tested. Brady provides the following Windows tools to test and configure the reader in normal mode:
BRADY RFID DEMO APP
The Brady RFID Demo application is used to perform RFID reading and writing tests. The application provides statistics on the reading performance and logging capabilities for a more thorough evaluation. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Android OS.
The application also allows adjusting the RFID parameters on the fly for better understanding their impact on the reading performance. Note that altered settings cannot be stored permanently into the device. The settings are reverted to defaults upon a power cycle.
The Brady RFID Demo App for Windows can be downloaded from:
