Overview

This Tutorial provides a walk-through of the steps to perform get and set cable loss compensation operations using RFID3 API

Create The Project

• Start by creating a new project in Android Studio. For help, see the Android Studio tutorial.
• Refer Hello RFID to prepare basic setup to work with RFID Reader and then follow this guide

Details

This tutorial will describe the apis for setting and getting the cable loss compensation.

Setting it up

The following are the steps to get and set cable loss compensation to the reader

• Create Reader Management Object
• Create a LoginInfo object and Login to the Reader.
• Perform get and set cable loss compensationoperations.

Creating a ReaderManagement object.

// create and initialize the Reader Management object.
    ReaderManagement readerManagement = new ReaderManagement(); 
                                                                                                      
                                                

Creating a LoginInfo object and perform login operation.

//Creating a LoginInfo object and perform login operation.
    LoginInfo loginInfo = new LoginInfo("hostName", "userName", "password", SECURE_MODE.HTTP, false);
    try {
            readerManagement.login(loginInfo,READER_TYPE.FX);
        } catch (InvalidUsageException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (OperationFailureException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
        }

Performing operation

Get Cable Loss Compensation.

// Get Cable Loss Compensation.
    try {
        CableLossCompensation cableLossCompensation = readerManagement.getCableLossCompensation(1);
    } catch (InvalidUsageException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (OperationFailureException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Set Cable Loss Compensation.

// Set Cable Loss Compensation.
    try {
        CableLossCompensation cableLossCompensation = readerManagement.getCableLossCompensation(1);
        CableLossCompensation[] cableLossCompensationInfo = new CableLossCompensation[0];
        cableLossCompensationInfo[0] = cableLossCompensation;
        readerManagement.setCableLossCompensation(cableLossCompensationInfo);
    } catch (InvalidUsageException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (OperationFailureException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
