Table 17 - Allowable Commands

• ContReadMode

– The channel ContReadMode bit will indicate the

status of Continuous Read Mode for an RFID channel. A value of 0
indicates that the RFID channel is not in continuous read mode; a value of
1 indicates that the RFID channel is in continuous read mode. While in
Continuous Read Mode, the interface will ignore all other commands
except a Stop Continuous Read.

• Counter

– The channel counter word is a 2-byte value that will increment

its value by 1 after the interface has completed execution of a command.
This value will roll over to 0 after it counts to 65535 and start again; at
power up this value must be 0.

• Data

– Depending on the Data Format, the channel Data word is an array

of either 2-byte values or an array of 1-byte values that total 160 bytes in
length. This array is used to store information returned from the RFID
interface. Upon completion a command, reply data will be deposited in
this array and the length of the reply (in 16-bit word increments) will be
placed within the associated length field; at power up this value must be 0.

• Fault

– The channel fault bit will indicate the fault status of the RFID

channel. A value of 0 indicates the channel is operating normally, a value of
1 indicates the channel has faulted.

• Length

– The channel length word is a 2-byte value that will indicate the

data length for specific commands. Upon completion of a command, this
word will be populated with the number of 16-bit words returned to the
data field; at power up this value must be 0.
