ClarIDy UHF USB Reader Demo Program for Linux 1. Introduction This document describes the demo program for ClarIDy UHF RFID Reader. The demo program provides “Setting”, “Algorithm”, “Inventory”, “Read/Write”, “Filter Inventory”, “Filter Read/Write” and “Lock/Kill” functions. Users can use those applications to control the ClarIDy UHF RFID Reader to communicate with EPC RFID tags. The operational procedures are described as the following chapters. 5/28 © Copyright 2008 ClarIDy Solutions, Inc.
