Inventory Reader (Practical Logistics 2)

The Inventory Reader is a block added by Practical Logistics 2. It is used to read and list all the items in the inventories of connected blocks. To connect a block to an Inventory Reader, place a Node on it and then run Data Cables from it to the Inventory Reader. Or, to connect the block wirelessly, use a Transceiver. Data is inputted through the brown side of the Inventory Reader and outputted through the blue side.
The Inventory Reader can also be used to create the Wireless Storage Reader.
