Read EPC, TID, User or Reserved memory of RFID tags with an AIRSTANDARD reader.
Read Demo does one thing: it reads a block of memory from a UHF RFID tag and shows it in hex. Pick the bank, the word offset and the length, then tap Read. Use it to show what is stored in a tag beyond its EPC, such as the TID (chip serial) or User memory.
IMPORTANT: Works with the AIRSTANDARD Air73 Bluetooth UHF RFID reader. The Air73 has no screen of its own; this app runs on your Android phone (Android 8.0 or later with Bluetooth) and controls it over classic Bluetooth (SPP). Without an AIRSTANDARD reader the app opens but cannot read tags. On AIRSTANDARD handhelds with a built-in reader (Air82), the same app uses that reader directly and skips the connection screen.
Connecting
1. Turn on the Air73 (unplug the USB data cable; Bluetooth is disabled while it is connected).
2. Open the app, allow Nearby devices and tap Search, or pick a reader from the previously connected list.
3. Confirm the connection. The app opens the read screen directly.
On the read screen
- Bank: Reserved, EPC, TID or User. Offset and length in 16-bit words (default EPC, offset 1, length 7).
- The value read is shown as hex in byte pairs, with a green or red result bar and the reader's own error text.
- RF power (dBm).
- Runtime settings: selection mask, session, target and SL, to aim at one tag when several are in the field.
- Access password: enter the password for reading protected memory.
- Reading never changes the tag.
- Available in English, Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
What this app does not do
It does not list tags, write, lock or kill tags, or save files. Inventory, writing and locking are covered by other AIRSTANDARD demo apps, each published separately.
Permissions and privacy
- Nearby devices (Android 12 and later): to search for and connect to the Air73. Declared as not used to derive location.
- Location (Android 11 and earlier only): those Android versions require it for Bluetooth device search. The app never reads your location.
- Wi-Fi state: read by the reader connection library while preparing the device search; no Wi-Fi connection is made.
- Vibration and wake lock: feedback and keeping the device awake during work.
The app has no internet permission and does not collect or transmit any data. Tag data is handled only between your phone and the reader. The list of previously connected readers stays on your phone.
