Functionality of the Micro

ONLY GPIO 2 Used for Antenna Switching

Port Power and Settling Time

The Micro allows the power and settling time for each logical antenna to be set using the
reader configuration parameters

/reader/radio/portReadPowerList and /

reader/antenna/settlingTimeList, respectively. The order the antennas settings
are defined does not affect search order.

Note

Settling time is the time between the control lines switching to the next
antenna setting and RF turning on for operations on that port. This allows
time for external multiplexer’s to fully switch to the new port before a signal is
sent, if necessary. Default value is 0.
