The Content panel of the RFID Tag dialog allows you to define the content of an RFID tag. To encode the data in an RFID tag, complete the following steps.

Step 1: Select Data Fields

Data Fields group allows you to select the data fields. These fields are going to contain the encoded data of the RFID tag.

Note

The selection of available Data Fields with corresponding settings depends on the selected Tag type.

Data Field Examples

  • TID: unique ID of the RFID tag
  • EPC: syntax for unique identifiers assigned to objects, unit loads, locations, or other entities that are included in business operations
  • User Data: payload data to be written in the RFID tag
  • RFID Tag Memory: the only data field available for non-Gen2 RFID tags

Step 2: Select Data Type

Data type defines the method for entering the Data field content. The availability of data types depends on the selected Data field.

  • Memory block: the table allows you to enter the data into individual RFID tag memory blocks. Each table row represents a single block of the selected Tag type.

Note

Memory block structure and properties of individual blocks depend on the selected Tag type.

Note

Data type can be defined for each block individually:

  • Electronic Product Code (EPC): added fields allow you to enter the RFID data according to the EPC standard.

  • ASCII string: RFID data to be entered as a string of ASCII characters.

  • HEX encoded string: RFID data to be entered as a string of hexadecimal pairs.

  • Numeric: RFID data to be entered as a string of digits.

Encoding type allow you to select the data encoding format that corresponds to your current Data type.

Step 3: Insert Value
