Using the Loftware RFID Calculator
As you work through the examples given in this section, you may want to practice encoding and
decoding EPC or DOD data for verification purposes. Loftware provides a utility to help you with this.It
can be launched from the Tools menu of Loftware Label Manager.It is a stand-alone application and
can also be launched by double clicking the EPC_Utils.exe file from the Windows Explorer.The RFID
Calculator can also encode and decode the EPC as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).A clear
understanding of the specifications mentioned in the last section is a prerequisite to using this tool.The
examples in this section depict some instances where this utility program may be used as a check.
Example 10 - Decoding the Hex Data
Scenario 1 (Decode)
You are reading a tag.The reader software reports what is programmed into the tag, which is a string of
hexadecimal data.The Loftware RFID Calculator can break the data down into its constituent parts
based on the encoding type:
1. From the LLM Options menu, select RFID Calculator.
2. Type the hexadecimal value of the tag into the HEX Value entry field.
3. Click Decode. The encoding type and the values for each section of data applicable to that type
are displayed.
Note: In addition to the decoded result, the decoded URI value is also displayed.
