Macro reference

DecrementRFIDValue

DecrementRFIDValue
Perfoms a 32-bit decrement on the number held in location page or block. 
- BYTE Src
Page / Block 
- BYTE Dst
Page / Block 
- BYTE Key_Type
Needed for MIFARE Commands 
- BYTE Return


FormatRFIDValue

FormatRFIDValue
Initialises the internal buffer of the Microcontroller so that it is ready to perform a Increment, Decrement or Transfer command. 
- VOID Return


GetRFIDStatus

GetRFIDStatus
Collect the status of the RFID device (see help for the explaination of the status byte). 
- UINT Return


GetRFIDTypeID

GetRFIDTypeID
Collects the 3 bytes required to determine which kind of MIFARE device is present. Stores the result into the local buffer 0 - 2 and returns the response of the module. 
- BYTE Return


GetRFIDUID

GetRFIDUID
Collects the UID from a RFID device. Stores the result into the UID buffer and returns the response of the module. 
- BYTE Return


IncrementRFIDValue

IncrementRFIDValue
Perfoms a 32-bit increment on the number held in location page or block. 
- BYTE Src
Page / Block 
- BYTE Dst
Page / Block 
- BYTE Key_Type
Needed for MIFARE Commands 
- BYTE Return


Initialise

Initialise
Configures the RFID device by presetting the Osc type and Mode via the Flowcode component properties. 
- BYTE Return


IsTagPresent

IsTagPresent
Checks to see if a card is present. Returns 0 if no tag is present. Returns 1 if a valid tag is present. 
- BOOL Return


ReadRFIDBlock

ReadRFIDBlock
Reads a block of information from the RFID device. 
- BYTE Address
 
- BYTE Key_Type
 
- BYTE Return


ReadRFIDBuffer

ReadRFIDBuffer
Reads a byte of data from the incoming buffer. 
- BYTE Address
The address of the buffer 0 - 15 
- BYTE Return


ReadRFIDUID

ReadRFIDUID
Reads a byte of data from the UID buffer. 
- BYTE Address
The address of the buffer 0 - 7 
- BYTE Return


SetBeep

SetBeep
Allows the buzzer output to be configured 
- BYTE BeepDelay
0 = Off, 1 = 40mS, 2 = 80mS, 3 = 120mS etc. 
- BYTE Return


SetCardType

SetCardType
Allows the RFID tag type to be configured 
- BYTE TagType
0 = MIFARE, 1 = ICODE, 2 = ISO14443B 
- BYTE Return


StoreRFIDKey

StoreRFIDKey
Stores a 6 byte key for use with MIFARE type devices that require authorisation. 
- BYTE Key
Key Location 0 - 31 
- BYTE D0
Least significant byte of key 
- BYTE D1
 
- BYTE D2
 
- BYTE D3
 
- BYTE D4
 
- BYTE D5
Most significant byte of key 
- BYTE Return


TransferRFIDValue

TransferRFIDValue
Perfoms a 32-bit block data transfer on the number held in location page or block. 
- BYTE Src
Page / Block 
- BYTE Dst
Page / Block 
- BYTE Key_Type
Needed for MIFARE Commands 
- BYTE Return


WriteRFIDBlock

WriteRFIDBlock
Writes a block of information to the RFID device. 
- BYTE Address
Remote RFID Block Address. 
- BYTE Key_Type
 
- BYTE Return


WriteRFIDBuffer

WriteRFIDBuffer
Writes a byte of data to the outgoing buffer. 
- BYTE Address
The address of the buffer 0 - 15 
- BYTE Data
The data to be stored in the buffer location 0 - 255. 
- VOID Return


WriteRFIDModule

WriteRFIDModule
Stores a byte of data to the internal EEPROM of the RFID module at the address specified. 
- BYTE Address
 
- BYTE Data
 
- BYTE Return


Property reference

Properties
Card_Type
 
Beep Delay
Amount of time to activate the buzzer when detecting a new RFID tag. 
Connections
Channel
UART Channel selector Software channels are bit banged using generic I/O pins but are not as reliable as hardware channels. Hardware channels use the selected peripheral on-board the target microcontroller. 
Baud Options
Baud rate option selector 
Baud Rate
 
TX
Pin to be used for Transmit data 
RX
Pin to be used for Receive data 
Card Detect (LED)
 
CTS
 
Simulation
Label
 
Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically added to the data recorder window or not. Simulation - draws an approximation of the UART data onto the scope trace. ICT - sets up the scope trace for incoming data and adds UART packet decoding at the correct BAUD. 
Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not 
Console Columns
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console. 
Data Source
Simulation data source used to allow the component to connect to various remote devices Nothing - Simulation data is ignored COM port - Routes the communication data to and from a physical or virtual COM port Injector - Routes the communication data via a data injector component on the Panel.
