8.9.3 Read TID memory bank and EPC tag id
With the HEXAPAD reader it is possible to read any memory bank of the EPC gen2 tag, (reserved,
epc, tid and user), just configure by the tagop command in which database is desired to read along
with the initial position and the size of the data (in word) that you want to read.
The syntax of the tagop command is explained in detail in 8.3.14 tagop - Tag read operation. Examples:
A. Read the entire TID bank of the tag plus the EPC id in hexa:
tagop
tid:0:0<CR>
epcdecode none<CR>
Example of reading two tags with different sizes from the TID bank:
B. Read from the TID bank 4 words skipping the first 2 words and decoding the EPC id by the
ASCII table:
tagop tid:2:4<CR>
epcdecode ascii<CR>
Example of reading two tags:
In addition to TID banking, RESERVED, USER, and EPC banks can also be read in conjunction with the
EPC tag id.
NOTE: More details of commands in 8.3 Configuration commands.
For reserved bank, if the tag has a recorded access password other than
NOTE: 0x00000000, the tag password must be configured on the reader by the
gen2accesspassword.
NOTE: The count unit in the EPC Gen2 standard is word, which is equivalent to 2 bytes or 16 bits.
