READ OPERATION By default, the RFID tag is read from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Specify how many bytes of data you want to read from the tag.  Generally, the read data is user data obtained from the user block. If you are sure that the data is to be read from a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Display hex values] first. WRITE OPERATION Type the string that you want to write to a tag. By default, the string is written to the tag from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Therefore, the input string will automatically be truncated to fit into pages, and data may be discarded when it comes to the end of pages available. Generally, it will write the input string to the user block, which is free for custom use. The string will be displayed as “user data”. If you wish to write the string to a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Use hex values] first.  Once you have selected to use hex values for the string, make sure the string length must be even.
