HID Mode = Keyboard Emulation (Read only)

With the HID mode, users may retrieve data from the transponders as keyboard emulation. The output may be set to various formats. The reader can read out serial numbers, along with information from user memory, as HEX or ASCII output format. The configuration may be done via a configuration tool which is compatible with Windows OS. The HID mode is perfectly suited for web applications in heterogeneous IT cloud environments.

VC Mode = Virtual COM Port (Full read and write access)

The VC mode offers fully read / write access to all supported transponder types. The device can be operated via demo software, sample source codes, and a USB driver on Windows OS. Other operating systems are supported via a serial command protocol and a virtual COM Port interface based on a SiliconLabs chipset. It is designed for Industry 4.0 applications and may be easily integrated into any operating system.

A user-friendly software development kit (SDK) and configuration tool for Windows operating systems is provided, as well as an operating-system-independent command protocol.

The EVO Desktop Reader HF 2.0 boasts a high reading range of up to 10 cm, depending on Tag type and orientation, thanks to its integrated antenna.
