Near Field Communication (NFC) SONY brand reader for labview

[acahui]

I need to read/write data to a RFID tag by using Sony brand USB NFC reader. May i know Labview support NFC function and how does it work ? 

[Dennis_Knutson]

It's the reader that would support NFC, not LabVIEW. How LabVIEW interfaces to the reader will depend on the type of USB connection. How does it appear in Windows Device Manager? Is it a HID device, a serial port? What sort of software or driver comes with it?

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your reply.

I have an application need to write some data to a RFID card. I intend to purchase a SONY RC-S380 USB reader/writer to write the data to the RFID card by NFC protocol.

I just wonder that the driver is able to found by NI MAX?

The only way the driver would be listed in MAX is if it emulates a serial port or of you created your own with the VISA Wizard. Creating one with the wizard is only useful if you have details on the low level protocol. You certainly don't need it listed in MAX to use it.

It supports these three interface standards: PC/SC Ver. 2.0, Near Field Proximity API, FeliCa library

None of them is out of the box in LabVIEW as they are all ICC (Integrated Circuit) Card specific intefaces and LabVIEW isn't exactly in the business of contactless payment terminals.  Most likely there are several .Net interfaces to each of them so you should be able to create your own interrface library in LabVIEW using .Net.
