Abstract
One aspect of the present invention provides an RFID reader/writer and a diagnosis processing program for outputting correct diagnostic information on communication between the RFID reader/writer and an RF tag. The RFID reader/writer includes a communication unit configured to conduct communication with the RF tag and a communication diagnostic unit configured to diagnose the communication when the communication is successfully conducted. The communication diagnostic unit includes a characteristic acquisition unit configured to acquire a characteristic of the communication from a communication signal with the RF tag, a comparator configured to compare a value indicated by the acquired characteristic to a threshold used to determine a communication margin, and an output control unit configured to cause an output unit to output information on the communication margin from a comparison result.
