Philips Semiconductors Product specification I-CODE Evaluation kit SLEV900
1 FEATURES
The evaluation kit comprises the following components:
- I-CODE (1) read/write device
- I-CODE antenna
- Power supply cable 24 V
- PC serial interface cable
- Ten I-CODE labels respectively inlets
- Three disks with: – Demonstration software – Evaluation software – Source code.
- I-CODE evaluation kit user manual
- Interface protocol reader host description.
2 APPLICATIONS
- Easy plug and play demonstration of I-CODE functionality
- Fast implementation of small applications and feasibility studies.
3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The I-CODE evaluation kit offers a tool, which was designed for two major purposes:
- Easy plug and play demonstration of I-CODE functionality (with the use of the windows demo software)
- Fast implementation of small applications and feasibility studies (using the interface protocol description and the C-software library). In addition the attached DOS based evaluation software offers an easy possibility to evaluate all commands, within the command set of the I-CODE label IC. Moreover application specific configurations of the demo reader may be performed with this software. Since Philips Semiconductors is mainly focused on the label IC, Philips does not produce complete inlets or labels. Nevertheless we have attached labels and inlets of manufacturers that already incorporated I-CODE in their standard product range. For detailed information on the I-CODE1 label IC functionality encompassing the description of the memory organisation, the serial number, write access conditions special functions and family code, please refer to data sheet “SL1ICS3001 I-CODE1 Label IC”.(1) I-CODE - is a trademark of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.

6 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
6.1 Hardware
Getting started with the I-CODE evaluation kit requires the following steps: 1. Connect the antenna cable to the BNC connector at the I-CODE reader 2. Connect the serial interface cable to the COM1 or COM2 port at your host PC and to the connector at the I-CODE reader 3. Connect the 24 V power supply cable to the appropriate connector at the I-CODE reader and to a 24 ±1 V, 40 W power supply 4. Connect the 24 V power supply to the mains and switch it on. The I-CODE reader is now ready for use. Remark: The I-CODE evaluation kit is delivered with an RF power output of 4 W. Since the evaluation kit antenna was designed for that output power level, an RF power higher than 4 W might damage the evaluation kit antenna If higher RF power is desired a customized antenna has to be used (e.g. gate antennas). The RF power output is adjustable by software (e.g. with CRMTEST3.EXE).
6.2 Software

6.2.2 C ONTENTS OF DISKS
The serial PC library crm_s32.dll is not part of the SLEV900, but is supplied by Philips as a design tool that is free of charge and without any warranties. DISK PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Disk 1 SETUP .EXE installation program of WIN demo ICODE.EXE Disk 2 SETUP .W02 second part of installation program Disk 3 DOS_SW3.ZIP DOS demo CRMTEST3.EXE VC6SOURCE.ZIP visual C++ 6.0 source codes of WIN demo ICODE.EXE
6.2.3 S OFTWARE INSTALLATION
The I-CODE demonstration software works with Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0. Insert disk 1, start the SETUP.EXE program and follow the instructions. If you want to change the COM port after the software installation, open the file ICODE.INI, in the directory where you have installed the software, with a text editor and modify the line COM = COMx (x = 1 or 2). The baud rate of the reader is set to 57.6 kbaud as default. 6.2.4 R ESTRICTIONS OF W INDOWS I-CODE DEMO SOFTWARE The Windows Demo Software of the I-code Evaluation Kit does not allow the changing of Block 2 (Write Access Conditions) and of the QUIET bits in Block 3. The use of Family Codes and/or Application Identifiers is not supported.
7 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The demonstration software shows the basic features of the I-CODE system. To start the program double click the I-CODE demo icon.
7.1 Main screen
The main screen allows the user to set up some parameters (see Table 1) and to start all supported commands; see the buttons in the dialogue box shown in Fig.2. Fig.2 Main screen of demonstration software. Table 1 Parameters in the main screen of the demonstration software To start a command click the corresponding button in the dialogue box or press the Alt-key and the underlined character. To exit a command, first click the Stop-button and then the Exit-button. PARAMETER DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE 1st block first block in the user memory with which you want to start the access; the first block in the user memory is block 4 # of blocks number of blocks starting with the 1st block you want to access 4 # of labels maximum number of labels that will be in the antenna field 8 Enable FastMode if you click at this button the I-CODE reader works in fast mode

7.2 Read serial numbers
This command reads the unique serial numbers (2 blocks = 8 bytes, least significant byte first) of the labels in the antenna field (see Fig.3). Each additional label which enters the field is added to the list. To clear the list click on the Stop-button and then the Once again-button. The status line shows information about the number of detected labels. The two arrow buttons on the right side of the screen can be used (after clicking the Stop-button) to scroll the content of the screen. Fig.3 Reading serial numbers of 8 labels.
7.3 Read
After the button Read in the main menu is clicked, Fig.4 appears. With this command you will get the unique serial numbers and the content of read labels including the user memory. The first block and the number of blocks depend on the set-up in the main menu. Fig.4 Reading blocks 4 of 15.

7.4 Write
After selecting this command you can input your new data in the status line (see Fig.5). The length depends on the selected number of blocks. Fig.5 Write blocks. By clicking on the OK-button or pressing the Alt and o keys together, the selector box will appear (see Fig.6). You can select none, some or all of previously read labels by clicking on the corresponding item. Only the labels with selected serial numbers will be written to with the new data by clicking the OK-button. The button Next label and the button Select are displayed from version 3.02 and further. Fig.6 I-CODE demo write selection.

7.6 Activate EAS
This command activates the EAS function of none, some or all of the previously read labels (see Fig.9). A selector box as described at the write command is used to select the concerned labels. The background colour of the serial numbers in the selector box shows the actual EAS status of the labels. Fig.9 Activate EAS.
7.7 Deactivate EAS
This command deactivates the EAS function of none, some or all of the previously read labels (see Fig.10). A selector box as described at the write command is used to select the concerned labels.
