Can the perspective barcode scanner input component be used to capture RFID scans? IE using a device like this: [https://www.rfideas.com/products/readers/dual-frequency/wave-id-plus](https://www.rfideas.com/products/readers/dual-frequency/wave-id-plus) ---

It’s up to your scanner. The barcode scanner input component just hooks into key events on the Perspective page, looking for a specific prefix or regex pattern. If the RFID scanner can act as a keyboard wedge/HID, then it’ll work with the Perspective component. ---

Fantastic. That was what I thought.
