Alien Beginners Guide

2008-12-19T22:53:06Z

Prasith:

==Logging in==
To log in to an Alien ALR 9800, get to a command prompt, and type in the following:

<pre>Telnet <Reader_IP> <Reader_port></pre>

This will bring you to a login prompt. Default username/password is "alien/password".

==Commands==
This will bring you to your first command prompt. This is where you will type in commands for the Alien. To read tags visible on any of the antennas, type in "t" and press enter.

For the rest of the commands, they generally operate in a get/set way, just like a getter method or setter method in some Java code. To get a variable, such as TagType, you would say "get TagType". To set that variable, you would say "set TagType=X", where X is the value you want to set TagType to.

===TagType===
The TagType command is used to adjust which types of tags the reader searches for. It is represented by an integer between 1 and 31, with the binary representation of that number being the tags you will read. The chart for these commands looks like this:

#Gen1 "Quark"
#Gen1 "Omega"
#Gen1 "Lepton"
#Gen0
#Gen2

This sounds complicated, but in reality it is very simple. For example, if you want to read Gen1 tags, you just type in
<pre>set TagType = 7</pre>
because that would mean that bits 1, 2, and 3 are all 1 (Its best to ignore the different types of gen1 tag and simply treat them all as a unit). If you wanted to read gen2 tags, you would type in
<pre>set TagType=16</pre>
because this would mean that the 5th bit was 1, and everything else is 0. If you want to read all tag types, type in
<pre>set TagType=31</pre>

===AntennaSequence===
Antennasequence controls which antennas you read from when you get a tag list, and in what order. For instance, if you type in
<pre>set AntennaSequence=0,1,2</pre>
you would read off of antenna 0, then antenna 1, then antenna 2. You can also get fancier, such as this:
<pre>set AntennaSequence=0,1,2,1,2,0</pre>
This would read off of 0, then 1, then 2, then 1 again, etc.

===PersistTime===
This command controls how long you want to keep a tag around in the Alien's memory before it is discarded. It is measured in seconds, so this command:
<pre>set PersistTime=30</pre>
will keep the tag around in memory for 30 seconds after the reader has lost contact with it. The special case of
<pre>set PersistTime=-1</pre>
will keep the tags around in memory indefinitely until they are read.

===TagListFormat===
This command controls how tags look when they come back to you. There are 4 formats, Text, Terse, XML, and Custom. To look at custom formatting, look up "TagListCustomFormat" in the Alien's PDF file. This is what the other formats look like:
:'''Text'''
<pre>
Tag:3008 33B2 DDD9 0140 3505 0000, Disc:2008/12/12 12:38:49, Last:2008/12/12 12:38:49, Count:1, Ant:0, Proto:2

Rifidi:Source Code

2008-12-01T02:28:04Z

Prasith: /* Rifidi Designer */

[[category:developerDoc]]
If you are interested in running the latest and greatest, bleeding edge Emulator or if you want to have a look at the source code, you will need to follow the instructions on this page. However, please keep in mind that the code in this repository is not guaranteed to be stable. If you are interested in our latest stable release, visit our sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rifidi/.

=Packagelists for Projects=
These are the lists of packages you will need from the svn to run the products. Packages in this list ending in an asterisk (*) indicate that you need all projects starting with that prefix.

=Downloading the Code=

Our code is hosted at https://svn.rifidi.org/svn/rep-external. The svn repository allows anonymous read access. Because the svn repository is the same one that developers submit to, it contains the latest Rifidi code.

==Prerequisites==

The Rifidi Emulator is written in java and consists of Eclipse plugins. At this point it must be compiled and built inside of the eclipse environment.

===Install Eclipse===
Note that you need the "Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers" version of eclipse. Rifidi will not run on other versions.
* If you do not already have eclipse, or if you have a different version, you will need to get this version
** Go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and download the "Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers" version of Eclipse to a convenient location.
** Unzip the package.
** Double click on the execution file to get it started [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-1-opening_eclipse.png |none|thumb|800px|Double click on the executable to open up eclipse]]
* If you have not used eclipse before, you will be required to select a workspace when eclipse is opening.
** After eclipse opens go to the workbench[[Image:Rifidi_from_source-2-wokbench.png |none|thumb|800px|Open up the workbench]]
* If you have an existing workspace, you will need to create a new one.
** Go to file -> switch workspace -> other [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-3-switch_workspace.png |none|thumb|800px|Open up the workbench]]
** Select a new directory for your Rifidi workspace.

===Install Subclipse===

Subclipse is an eclipse plugin that manages svn commands.

* Follow the instructions at http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html.
* In step 6 of the above instructions, don't install the Optional Integrations. Only the subclipse plugin is needed

==Add Repository==

* Open the 'SVN Repository Exploring' perspective
** Window -> Open Perspective -> Other [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-4-svn_rep_explore1.png |none|thumb|800px|Open up the perspective picker]]
** SVN Repository Exploring [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-5-svn_rep_explore2.png |none|thumb|400px|Open up the SVN Repository Explorer]]
* Add the rifidi repository
** Click 'Add SVN Repository' button
** Add 'https://svn.rifidi.org/svn/rep-external'[[Image:Rifidi_from_source-6-add_rep.png |none|400px|thumb|Add the repository]]

==Check Out Code==

* Check out all the projects in the rifidi/trunk folder of the repository
** Highlight the folders you would like to check out.
** Right click them and select checkout [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-7-checkout1.png |none|800px|thumb|Select the projects]]
** Select Finish. [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-8-checkout2.png |none|400px|thumb|Checkout projects]]

=Running Rifidi=

The last step to get Rifidi Running you need to change the Runtime Configuration

* Switch to the Java perspective in the same way that you switched to the repository exploring view [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-9-java_view.png |none|400px|thumb|Run Rifidi]]
* Right click on Rifidi.product in the org.rifidi.ui.ide project
* Click on "Run as eclipse application" [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-10_run_eclipse.png |none|thumb|800px|Run Rifidi]]
* If you get an error, click no and perform the following instructions:
** Run -> Open Run Dialog -> Eclipse Application -> Rifidi.product
** Goto the Tab Plug-ins
** click the Button "Add Required Plug-ins" [[Image:Rifidi_from_source-11_add_plugins.png |none|thumb|600px|Add required plugins]]
** check any plugins specifically required for the application to run (for example, the emulator requires the readers to be included)
** click the Button "Validate Plug-ins" to make sure everything is set up correctly
** click the Button "Apply"
** click the Button "Run" and start the Project
* From now on, you can start Rifidi via the green triangle button at the top of eclipse

=Updating the code=

Now that you have downloaded the code into an eclipse workspace, it is easy to get changes to the code as soon as we add them to the svn.

To update the code:

* Open up the Team Synchronizing Perspective in eclipse
* Click the button that says "Synchronize".
* Select all projects.
* Install any updates by selecting all the updates show, right clicking and choosing 'update'

Now that you have the new code, just hit the green run button on the toolbar at the top (Eclipse automatically compiles the code for you, so you don't have to worry about that).

=Switching Branches=
If you need to run code from another branch or tag, please see [[Switching Branches]].

Prasith: /* The LoadTestSuite */

= Tag Streamer 2.0 =

As we talk about Tag Streamer 2.0 we talk about a new Software. The software comes along with Objects and object orientated programming. One of the modern software development concepts is the "Model Viewer Controller" principle. It defines 3 main parts of a program.

* the Viewer
* the Model
* the Controller

== The Viewer ==
The Viewer will be defined in a later phase of the implementation because the main task of Tag Streamer will be the execution of predefined XML files.

== The Model ==
The Model represents the input data. In Tag Streamer we can identify 4 parts.

* the Batch
* the Scenario
* the Components
* the LoadTestSuite

=== The Batch ===
Describes what should be done on the PathItems along the Scenario.

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Batch id="1">
<exec>
<wait>500</wait>
<tagDescription>
<execDuration>200</execDuration>
<tagPattern count="100">
<type>Custom</type>
<prefix>eef</prefix>
<gen>2</gen>
</tagPattern>
<tagPattern count="90">
<type>DOD</type>
</prefix>
<gen>2</gen>
</tagPattern>
</tagDescription>
<wait>400</wait>
<gpiEvent>true<gpiEvent>
<wait>100</wait>
<gpiEvent>false<gpiEvent>
<exec>
</Batch>
</pre>

=== The Scenario ===
Describes how the PathItems are connected to each other to simulate a assembly line in a factory.

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<scenario id="0">
<pathItem id="0" wait="4000">
<readerID>1</readerID>
</pathItem>
<pathItem id="0" wait="4000">
<readerID>1</readerID>
</pathItem>
<pathItem id="0" wait="4000">
<readerID>1</readerID>
</pathItem>
</scenario>
</pre>

=== The Components ===
Describes the affected devices in the PathItems. That can be RFID readers and in the future some more devices along a assembly line.

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<componentList id="0">
<readerComponents id="0">

<readerName>LLRPreader2</readerName>
<readerType>LLRPReader</readerType>
</reader>
</readerComponents>
</componentList>
</pre>

=== The LoadTestSuite ===
Describes how many Scenarios are executed and how are the Batches are connected to the scenarios, the speed new batches are created and how long the wait time will be until it's executed again.

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<LoadTestSuite>
<testunit>
<ramptime>4000</ramptime>
<batch>1</batch>
<scenarios>
<id>1</id>
<id>2</id>
</scenarios>
</testunit>
<testunit>
<ramptime>4000</ramptime>
<batch>2</batch>
<scenarios>
<id>2</id>
</scenarios>
</testunit>
<testunit>
<ramptime>4000</ramptime>
<batch>1</batch>
<scenarios>
<id>1</id>
<id>2</id>
</scenarios>
</testunit>
<LoadTestSuite>
</pre>

== The Controller ==
The Controller specifies how the input data will be processed. A example "use case" is provided here: [[TagStreamerSpecification]].

As parts of the controller we can identify the following components:

* the BatchGenerator
* the PathItem
* the LoadTestProcessor

=== The BatchGenerator ===
It uses the Batch as input data and creates the BatchItems which are floating through the Scenario.

=== The PathItem ===
A thread which will take a Batch as input and execute the the defined operations in it.

=== The LoadTestProcessor ===
A Thread which takes the LoadTestSuite as input and creates all the necessary objects to operate.
