The Mercury DevKit for ThingMagic UHF RFID modules contains all the

components necessary to begin reading and writing RFID tags and develop -

ing RFID-enabled applications. A powerful application programming interface

(MercuryAPI) provides code examples, a graphical read-write demo program,

and delivers a consistent programmatic interface for development with all

ThingMagic readers and embedded module products.
