About the Developer Tools
Use the Developer Tools for basic testing of your RFID system.
The Developer Tools support these features:
• General purpose input/output (GPIO) testing. For help, see
the next section.
• Sending BRI commands or BRI script files to the IF61 from
an interactive browser interface. For help, see “Sending BRI
Commands and Running Scripts” on page 74.
• Editing and testing JavaScript files. For help, see “Using the
Workbench” on page 76.
Testing the GPIO Interfaces
If you have external GPIO controls such as motion sensors or
indicator lamps connected to the IF61, you can use the
Diagnostics tool to test the interfaces and verify that the controls
behave as expected. Leave the controls connected to the IF61
GPIO port when using the Diagnostics tool.
To test the GPIO interfaces
1 From the menu, click Edgeware Applications > Developer
To o l s > GPIO. The GPIO screen appears.
