Advanced Tag Operations

48

Level 2 API

BlockWrites. This means that in order to write more than 2 words multiple calls must be
made.

Gen2.BlockWrite can also be made the default behavior of

Gen2.WriteData

by setting

/

reader/gen2/writeMode

= Gen2.WriteMode.BLOCK_ONLY or BLOCK_FALLBACK

Gen2.BlockPermaLock

On tags which support this command, it allows User Memory to be selectively,
permanently write-locked in individual sub-portions. Compare BlockPermaLock with
standard

Gen2.Lock

which only allows locking entire memory banks. The block-size is

tag- specific. For example, Alien Higgs3 tags support 4 word blocks.

Gen2 Tag Specific TagOps - Alien Higgs

The following tag operations are custom tag commands supported only on tags using

Alien Higgs2 and Higgs3 chips, as implied by the TagOp name. These operations are

supported by readers of type

SerialReader

and the M6.

Gen2.Alien.Higgs2.PartialLoadImage

This command writes an EPC with a length of up to 96-bits, plus the Kill and Access
passwords without locking in a single command.

Note

Does not support the use of a

TagFilter Interface

.

Gen2.Alien.Higgs2.FullLoadImage

This command writes an EPC with a length of up to 96-bits, plus the Kill and Access
passwords and will also modify the Lock bits (locking the tag according to the Alien Higgs
Lock Bits) and the PC Bits.

Note

Does not support the use of a

TagFilter Interface

.

Gen2.Alien.Higgs3.FastLoadImage

This command writes an EPC with a length of up to 96-bits, the Kill and Access
passwords to Higgs3 tags in a single command, thereby reducing the tag programming
time compared to the use of LoadImage or multiple Gen2.WriteData commands.
