Impinj Speedway Configuration

Configuration of the Fosstrak Reader

The following XML code is an example on how to configure the Fosstrak Reader to use this readers HAL implementation. The name can be chosen arbitrary but must be unique if multiple readers are configured. The class implementing the HardwareAbstraction interface for this reader type is org.fosstrak.hal.impl.impinj.ImpinjTCPIPController. The properties element contains the path to the configuration file. For information about this see the configuration file example below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

   <!-- List of readpoints that represent specific antennas
        The name of the readpoint can be chosen arbitrary but it must be unique.
        The connector of the readpoint is the number of the channel the antenna is connected to.

   <!-- Parameters from the reader. -->
   <!-- The default settings partly depend on the regulatory region setting -->
   <!-- These parameters can not be configured here. The values can be requested
      with the getParameter() and set with the setParameter() method of the HAL -->
   <!-- The values in this configuration file are informational only, please do
      not edit them. R means this parameter is read only (getParameter returns
      value, setParameter throws Exception), R/W means this parameter is readable
      and writeable (getParameter returns current value, setParameter sets new value -->
   <!-- Example: getParameter("reader.ReaderInfo"), setParameter("reader.TxPower") -->
