ST_RFID_ReaderInfo

Following the GetReaderVersion command from the instruction set, the received data are processed in this output structure.

Not every variable is thereby served by every RFID reader model in the form of the version information. For example, one reader model indicates the production date while another RFID reader model transfers the hardware version. More detailed information on the entries can be found in the manufacturer’s own protocol specification and manuals.
