TSL® Reader Configuration

The above Apps have been created by TSL to demonstrate the performance, functionality and versatility of our Bluetooth^® UHF RFID Readers. They also serve as demonstration of TSL’s powerful ASCII 2 Protocol. This sophisticated, parameterised protocol provides the developer with a powerful set of commands that carry out multiple actions locally within the reader. This approach enables multiple tag operations executed using simple pre-configured ASCII commands, which speeds up integration of the reader into applications. There are also an ever-increasing number of compatible Third-Party Apps available.

Ultra Rugged Design

Highly resistant to water, dust and mechanical trauma.

Choose your Barcode Imager

A range of optional barcode engines can be specified to provide 2D data capture at distances of up to 15m.
