GUI overview

As shown in

Figure 6 , the ST25PC-NFC main window is divided in four parts:

1. Reader information area [1], indicating the RF reader being used

2. Inventory area [2], displaying tags present on the RF reader antenna

When starting the ST25PC-NFC software, the application automatically tries to detect an RF reader connected to your computer. This RF reader must be one supported by the software

(see the list in

Section 2.1: Supported readers

).

The status bar at the bottom of the application (part [1] of

Figure 6 ) indicates the name of

the connected reader. Figure 7

is an example, the ST25R3911B-DISCO board is detected.

UM2444 GUI overview

The Inventory panel (

Figure 10 ) is located on the left side of the main screen. It displays

tags detected by the anti-collision protocols implemented by the reader. By default, the

ISO 15693 / NFC Forum Type 5 and ISO 14443-A / NFC Forum Type 2A and 4A protocols are selected. Default selected protocol can be changed using Preference panel available in

File

menu (see Section 4.3.1: File menu ).

Figure 10. Inventory panel

Part [1] of Figure 10

indicates the different RF protocols that can be included in the  anti-collision process. Available RF protocols are:

 ISO15693 / NFC Forum Type5

 ISO14443-A / NFC Forum Type2 and Type4A

 ISO14443-B / NFC Forum Type4B

 ISO14443-B / SRi / ST25TB series

 NFC Forum Type1 / TOPAZ

 ISO18092 / NFC Forum Type3

 PICOPASS

Check-boxes allow the user to select the protocol to launch once the Inventory process starts.

UM2444 Rev 4 17/86

GUI overview UM2444

To detect tags, place them in the RF field of the reader and make sure the correct protocol is selected. The user can select one to four protocols (anti-collision sequences are executed sequentially) by clicking on the check-boxes.

The Scan Once button [2] executes the detection only once. Choose Continuous Scan [3] to cycle through the protocols indefinitely (or until you press the button again).

Once the anti-collision process is terminated, the UID of the detected tags are displayed in the table (Part [1] of

Figure 10

).

A tool-tip displays the tag name when hovering on the selected row (see

Thanks to Edit button (part[2]) it is possible to duplicate the detected NDEF message in the edition part of the user interface (part[3]).

The user can modify the NDEF message with following features:

 Add new record button allows the user to modify the NDEF message by adding one or more NDEF records.

Figure 27

displays the list of supported NDEF records available to populate the NDEF message, while

Figure 28

The Read data button reads the content of the tag. The From field indicates the first address to be read, while Size field indicates the number of block or bytes to read.

Write File to memory allows the user to copy the content of a binary file in the memory of the tag. the At block parameter defines the address where the first data is written.

Write pattern to memory feature allows the user to fill the memory with a single byte pattern

(useful to erase the whole memory to 0x00 or 0xFF). Be careful not to delete CC file data.

To be able to modify the content of the memory double click on the block to be changed. A pop-up window appears to change data.

Figure 31

shows the File operation user interface for tag. This UI allows the user to transfer the content of a file in the tag memory. The tag memory can also be stored in a binary file.

The user interface contains all FTM demonstrations ( Firmware Upgrade , Send picture ,

Receive picture , Send random data , Send file , Receive data , Stop watch ) in the single user interface.

FTM demos implements an integrated, optimized and easy-to-use FTM protocol. All tasks parameters are managed by the SDK.

The demonstrations must be run with the new generation of ST25DV-DISCOVERY based on MB1396 board and firmware version equal or upper than 2.1.0), or the last generation of

ST25DV-DISCOVERY based on MB1283 board with firmware version equal or upper than

1.2.0.

Legacy demonstrations user interface contains the same demonstrations as FTM, based on simple SDK commands. Global management of the task is carried out by the PC software and is not optimized. This demonstrations have to be used with the old generation of

ST25DV-DISCOVERY based on MB1283 boards with firmware version lower than 1.2.0.

It is recommended to use the FTM demos using new integrated FTM protocol. Be aware that the firmware of your ST25DV-DISCOVERY (based on MB1283 board) can be updated with a new firmware version with upper revision.
