(6)How to install reader
Face the side with LED up, and insert it into PDA CF slot as shown in picture.
Normally always insert CF reader by put LED side up, but some PDA put CF slot at
reverse side, it means user needs to insert CF reader at back side. (LED down)

Caution: Every PDA are different resolution so the picture is showed different size. If
you want it to be matched, you should modify the source code of the project. And
showing picture is Windows API,but it is not stable. Showing picture seveval times
may cause the Demo AP crashes.

ONE、Structure of Sunlit RFID DLL for PPC
The Sunlit RFID DLL has 18 functions. They can separate into 3 groups：Comport operation、Device operation and Device
information：
Comport operation functions includes following 5 functions：
SUNLITRFID_CFExist
SUNLITRFID_Open
SUNLITRFID_OpenII
SUNLITRFID_IsOpen
SUNLITRFID_Close.
Most functions of SUNLITRFID_Open and SUNLITRFID_OpenII are the same, except using different parameters.
Device operation functions includes following 9 functions：
SUNLITRFID_Echo
SUNLITRFID_SoftwareReset
SUNLITRFID_HardwareReset
〈 Depend on device 〉
SUNLITRFID_Pause
SUNLITRFID_OpModeSet
SUNLITRFID_OpModeGet
SUNLITRFID_ActiveScanIntervalSet
SUNLITRFID_ActiveScanIntervalGet
SUNLITRFID_ScanTag
Device information functions includes following 4 functions：
SUNLITRFID_ProductNameGet
SUNLITRFID_ModelNameGet
SUNLITRFID_HardwareVersionGet
SUNLITRFID_FirmwareVersionGet

(2) TYPE Definition
The following table lists all TYPE definition that function used.
Definition Introduction
typedef struct {
unsigned char data[TAG_LENGTH];
} SUNLITRFID_TAGID;
Type definition of tag ID
Since Mu-ID data is represented by 128 bits
format, so we condense this 128 bit information
by byte format. And every 8 bits data is
respectively each byte, for example, data[0]
represents bit120~bit127; data[1] represents
bit112~bit119; data[TAG_LENGTH-1]
represents bit0~bit7.
typedef struct {
HANDLE haEvent[ENVIRONMENT_EVENT_NUMBER];
SUNLITRFID_TAGID ActiveTagID;
} SUNLITRFID_ENVIRONMENT;
Type definition of enviroment status.
The type has two elements: haEvent and
ActiveTagID.
haEvent is HANDLE array that use for wait
events. For more information, Please see
EVENTS Introduction.
ActiveTagID was introduced at above definition.
typedef struct {
char data[PRODUCT_NAME _LENGTH+1];
} SUNLITRFID_PRODUCT_NAME;
Type definition of product name information.
After function executed successfully. The char
array will be added the end of string character
‘0x00’
typedef struct {
char data[MODEL_NAME_LENGTH+1];
} SUNLITRFID_MODEL_NAME;
Type definition of Model Name
After function executed successfully. The char
array will be added the end of string character
‘0x00’
typedef struct {
char data[HARDWARE_LENGTH+1];
} SUNLITRFID_HARDWARE_VER;
Type definition of hardware version
After function executed successfully. The char
array will be added the end of string character
‘0x00’
typedef struct {
char data[FIRMWARE_LENGTH+1];
} SUNLITRFID_FIRMWARE_VER;
Type definition of firmware version
After function executed successfully. The char
array will be added the end of string character
‘0x00’
