Attached is an application created in Visual BASIC 2005 Express which allows a Parallax RFID Reader connected to a PC to read tag data. This application has a small form which allows you to select and open the COM Port for the RFID Readerand Enable or Disable reading as necessary. By default the RFID Reader is enabled when the <st1lace><st1:PlaceName>COM <st1:PlaceType>Port is opened. Optionallyyou can triggera System Beep during each read. The Reader is disabled for1.5 seconds after a read. Thisdelay is provided to avoid duplicate reads. The Reader is then re-enabled. Once tags are read into the Text Box they can be copied into a database or other application, speeding tag entry. http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?t=103732
