Hi

We have requirement to do performance testing from RF devices like Hand held scanners etc.. Let me if anyone has integrated and tested these devices with LoadRunner.

Let me know what steps we need to follow.

Set aside the method of networking, look at the application layer protocol which is used for connection.  I have seen such devices which leverage Telnet, HTTP/XML, CORBA, RM/I, direct to database, etc...    Once you understand the architecture of the communication then you can set a plan to capture and reproduce the conversation (or leverage the application source code).   Then you will also need network impairment to represent that last hop to the client.
