Guide

Before you start, remember to:

Add the Ubisense references to your application
Create an instance of the Ubisense.UData.Data schema with instance name data_schema and connect to the schema as a client.

Use the Ubisense.UData.Data schema to send data to tags with the notify() method. The following example defines the method send_data_to_tag where the Ubisense.ULocationIntegration.Tag is passed in along with the data to send to the tag. Data values of 13, 14 and 15 cause slim tags to beep in various ways. Note that the sequence number of the data is output from the notify() method, but it is unused in this example:

    public static void send_data_to_tag(
        Ubisense.ULocationIntegration.Tag _tag, uint _data)
    {
        byte seqno;
        bool res = data_schema.notify(_tag, _data, out seqno);
    }
