## Related Documentation

This install guide is part of the BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK documentation set, which also includes the following documents:

- Programming with the BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK APIs describes the BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK application programming interfaces (APIs) that you use to create applications that are deployed onto mobile devices.
- BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK API HTML Reference provides the HTML reference documentation for the SDK APIs that are provided with the BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK software.
- BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK API Compiled Help Module provides the Microsoft Windows Compiled Help Module (BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK 1.0.chm) for the APIs that are provided with the BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK software.

## Sample Application

The following programming sample is installed in the `BEA_MOBILE_SDK_HOME/samples` directory, where `BEA_MOBILE_SDK_HOME` represents the product installation directory on the Windows system`: BEAMobileTagRead`

This sample demonstrates how to use the BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK API for tag reading with EPCIS capture (send an EPCIS ObjectEvent for one or more EPC reads). The source code for this sample application is installed with the product to allow application developers to modify the code to meet their requirements and deployment environments.
