Introduction

The objective of this tool is to provide a graphical interface to edit business process workflow, and the related ECSpec, LRSpec and Master Data, then generate the APDL XML file.

Users Guide

Download & Run

By now, you can download the packages from svn. Run it with AspireRfidIDECore.

Create & Open Diagram

A diagram can be created or opened by choosing File->New Diagram or File->Open Diagram. There are four kinds of objects on the palette you can use to put on the diagram. Objects on the diagram can be re-sized, moved, deleted by drag and drop or right click. These operation are straightforward and you can try to explore more.

LRSpec & ECSpec Configuration

Right click on the EBProc object, in the context menu choose the "Edit ECSpec", then the Editor for LRSpec and ECSpec will pop out.

The editor is separated to two parts. The upper part cares about the data from "ECSpec->logicalReaders" and "ECSpec->boundarySpec", and everything from LRSpec. The down part cares about data from "ECSpec->reportSpecs". All the modifications of logicalReaders and reportSpec are done through standard properties view.
