Introduction
Rifidi Tag Streamer is a load testing utility. It is primarily used to simulate large sets of tags and readers.
Requirements
- Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003 or Linux (Ubuntu, Red Hat, SuSe)
- Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5 (J2SE 5.0)
Installation
Rifidi Streamer is completely written in Java so installation is very easy. Additionally, Designer is packaged in a standard installer.
- Download the latest version of Rifidi Emulator from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rifidi/
- Double click to run the install. Follow the on screen instructions.
Launching Rifidi Streamer
- Windows Users: Simply click the shortcut located in the Rifidi folder in the Start Menu/Programs folder.
- Linux Users: Double click the executable file located in the installation directory.
Getting Started
This is a short tutorial to get started with the Rifidi Streamer Application. The tree important parts in the Rifidi Streamer are:
- Readers
- Batches
- Segments
You will need to add a reader to simulate the underlying architecture. Currently we support the following reader types:
- LLRP Reader
- Symbol XR400
- Alien ALR 9800
- EPC Reader Protocol V1.1
- Awid MPR
The Batches representing a collection of Rfid Tags. The Segments describing the events occuring during the simulation. A Segment consists of:
- Duration Time
- Tag appear events
- Tag remove events
- GPI events

Start Simulation
You have two possibilities to run the Rifidi Streamer
- run it once
- run it infinite
You can see the buttons for both options in the toolbar under the filemenu. Press the "run once" button to run all segments once or press "run infinite" button to run the segments until the "stop" button is pressed.
Pause/Stop Simulation
When the application is running the buttons for stopping and pausing the current execution will become enabled. If you want to pause the simulation press the "pause" button. If you want to stop the simulation and loose all the current data press the "stop" button.
Reset Simulation
Currently we do not support a reset of the Simulation. We apologize for the inconvenience. That feature will be added in the future.
Turn On All Readers
There is a button in the reader view which will switch all readers on.
Turn Off All Readers
There is a button "turn off all readers" in the toolbar of the so called ReaderView to turn off all readers at once.
