NAME

RFID::Matrics::Reader::Serial - Implement RFID::Matrics::Reader over a serial link

SYNOPSIS

This class takes a serial port object and implements the Matrics RFID protocol over it. This object is based on RFID::Reader::Serial, which should be consulted for additional information.

An example:

    use Win32::Serialport;
    use RFID::Matrics::Reader::Serial;

    $com = Win32::SerialPort->new($opt{c})
        or die "Couldn't open COM port '$opt{c}': $^E\n";

    my $reader = 
      RFID::Matrics::Reader::Serial->new(Port => $com,
                                         Node => 4,
                                         Antenna => 1)
        or die "Couldn't create reader object";

DESCRIPTION

This class is built on top of RFID::Matrics::Reader, and uses RFID::Reader::Serial to implement the underlying setup, reading, and writing functions.

Constructor
