RFID_STATUS WINAPI RFID_PerformZoneInventory	(	RFID_HANDLE32	readerHandle,
		LPPOST_FILTER	lpPostFilter,
		LPANTENNA_INFO	lpAntennaInfo,
		LPTRIGGER_INFO	lpTriggerInfo,
		LPZONE_SEQUENCE	lpZoneSequence,
		LPVOID	rsvd
	)

This function performs the inventory operation on Zone List.

Parameters:

`[in]`	readerHandle	Handle to the RFID device.
`[in]`	lpPostFilter	Filter Criteria for the inventory operation to be performed. If this is NULL, inventory operation will be based on the pre-filters, which if not set, the Reader's default filters will apply.
`[in]`	lpZoneInfo	Zone information with Antenna List on which the inventory operation is to be performed in AAR. If this is NULL, inventory is performed on ALL available Zones.
`[in]`	lpTriggerInfo	Trigger Criteria for the inventory operation. If this is NULL, inventory starts right away when this API is called, and stops when RFID_StopInventory is called.
`[in]`	rsvd	Reserved for future use.

Returns:

If the function succeeds the return value is RFID_API_SUCCESS. If the function fails the return value is one of the following:

RFID_API_INVALID_HANDLE Handle provided is invalid
RFID_API_PARAM_ERROR Invalid parameter given
RFID_API_PARAM_OUT_OF_RANGE Parameter out of range [Antenna ID/GPI]
RFID_INVENTORY_IN_PROGRESS Inventory in progress, cannot perform requested operation
RFID_ACCESS_IN_PROGRESS Access Operation in progress, cannot perform requested operation
RFID_TAG_LOCATING_IN_PROGRESS Tag Locating in progress, cannot perform requested operation
RFID_NXP_EAS_SCAN_IN_PROGRESS NXP EAS SCAN in progress, cannot perform requested operation

Remarks:: Tags inventoried as a result of RFID_PerformInventory can be obtained using RFID_GetReadTag. The application can wait on the event registered for TAG_READ_EVENT before calling RFID_GetReadTag or RFID_GetEventData.
