Tag Generator

Introduction

This tool is based on the codec developed for the Light ALE engine. It aims to generate tag ids in hexadecimal format in order to validate the EPC grouping and filtering engines of the ALE.

The above figure shows 2 examples of how to generate tags from Tag Generator specification file.

The generated file can then be used by the RPSim connector (sumulation mode, see Light ALE engine ) to feed the ALE with specific tags. The connector is able to parse the tag Ids from the tags.txt file and report them to the ALE engine. This is precious for global integration tests of the ALE.
