SkyeWare 4

SkyeWare™ takes another leap forward as one of the most comprehensive RFID reader application development toolkits available in the industry with the introduction of SkyeWare 4 which offers a powerful and straightforward new approach to usually awkward and clumsy developer kits.

Included with every SkyeTek module Developer Kit, SkyeWare 4 provides companies a quick and intuitive interface to evaluate embedded RFID. By connecting a SkyeModule™ reader module to a computer loaded with SkyeWare, developers can immediately configure the reader and begin testing code. SkyeWare 4 empowers developers to focus on designing and configuring an RFID solution – instead of focusing on how to install and run the developer kit.

Benefits

• Flexible enough for pilot and production designs in support of nearly any application
• Fast and easy completion of reader evaluations
• Quick launch of multiple demonstrations
• Easy-to-use, common interface for configuring and testing multiple tag types
• Clear visibility of tag data on multiple tag types

Feature	Screen
Setup Wizard SkyeWare 4 provides an easy-to-follow wizard to help users set up a reader and application without the overhead of wondering what to do next.
Product Authentication Demonstrates the features of the Product Authentication firmware personality. Tags are set up in a single screen with secure memory and then can be read only by an authorized reader.
Access Control Demonstrates using tags supported within the Access Control firmware personality to provide access to secure locations by applying different policies.
Contactless Payment Detects contactless payment credit cards and demonstrates retrieving Track 1 and Track 2 data using the Contactless Payment firmware personality.
Anti-Collision Demonstrate reader module anti-collision capability. Test read rate and interference with multiple tags in the field.
Memory Memory maps can be easily defined, as SkyeWare 4 allows users to read and write memory of all supported tags in a common memory interface, including DESfire data and record files
Secure Memory Invoking security from an industry-leading standards library users can read, write, and secure tag memory by encrypting data and/or creating a digital signature. The user can switch between the Memory and Secure Memory screens to verify that the data is encrypted when secure memory is enabled.
Read Range The read range of various tags can be plainly interpreted and evaluated through a graphical, easy-to-use interface
Reader Configure reader and port settings to tailor specific use cases
Firmware Configure and load firmware for multiple applications or to test field firmware upgradeability
Tags Configure tag settings on a tag-by-tag basis in order to optimize performance and stage development
Dev & Test Tools SkyeWare 4 also includes a host of test and development tools that allow developers to determine the best configuration for their needs and to test API commands. SkyeModule reader system and radio parameters can be quickly configured and firmware can be uploaded through an easy to use interface.
