Hi David,

As long as all you need is the RFID ID number, this might work. The one
drawback I could see is that Pendragon Forms isn't always super fast going from
one record to another. But with the "clone" function, it speeds up that
process.

If all you want to do is record each unique ID in a new record, I guess each
record will only have one field, the ID number. So in that field, you could
write a script that would read a tag's ID (via barcode scanner or RFID Custom
Control or just a text field with brackets in the field name (in 5.1, if it
works for you -- hasn't worked for us), and then another script with the "clone"
function. So for each new tag, PF would read that tag into the field and then
immediately clone the record and repeat the process in the new record. The
limiting factor would be the speed with which PF can shift to the new record.

If you need to fill out any other data fields in the form, though, it would slow
this process down quite a bit.

Dave

Subject: [pendragon-forms] RFID control


We are trying to establish whether the RFID control will allow us to
record the delivery of multiple items tagged with RFID tags. The
product arrives in bulk on a lorry and we need to record all items in
the delivery as they pass the PDA scanner. The volume and nature of the
product means that we cannot individually scan each item, the scanner
will be set to work on long range and grab all of the RFID tags it can
see.

How would we program a Pendragon form for PDA to capture and record
each item in the batch?
