This new release of the native Android SDK introduces ASCII Protocol 3.0 – the backwardly compatible, evolution of TSL’s ASCII Protocol 2. The ASCII Protocol 3.0 update provides support for TSL Series 3 Readers, such as the recently introduced 3166 UHF RAIN RFID Reader.
Additions to the protocol include:
- The LinkProfileCommand to allow access to the new, faster Series 3 RF Modes.
- A SelectPause parameter, on the ReadTransponderCommand, to provide the carrier wave needed for optimal reading of Magnus S3 temperature Sensor Tags e.g. HID Sense Passive, Axzon etc…
- A new SystemCommand that can be used to alter the baud rate of the ePop-Loq connection and adjust the volume of system sounds, such as the power on beep.
- An AlertVolume parameter, on the AlertCommand, that allows fine-grained control of the alert volume (0-100%).
See the included “Version History.txt” file for full details.
The SDK also sees the introduction of:
- An improved Inventory Sample Project that can access the Series 3 Reader RF Modes for significantly faster tag read rates.
- A new Sample Code project, for accessing Magnus S3 Temperature Sensor Tags demonstrating all the steps required to reliably access temperature, sensor and RSSI values.
- A reworked LicenceKey Project that demonstrates the use of an Asymmetric Public Key Cryptography signature approach.
The v2.8.0 SDK is built for Android API Level 34.
