Tag List Commands – Command Line

Tag list commands allow you to retrieve immediate listings of tags that have been

read and saved by the reader, and to assign and retrieve tag list functional

parameters.

NOTE: Web versions of these operations are shown in the next section.

ET TAGLIST (N)

You can retrieve the reader’s stored tag list either a single time (Get TagList) or

multiple times (Get TagList n).

• The maximum number of tags that can be stored in the tag list is 1000.

Using the Get TagList to retrieve the stored list only once:

• If the reader is currently in interactive mode, the reader will immediately

perform a full tag search (read and report) and display its current internal tag

list. The reply will be a multi-line command with each line listing an active tag.

If the tag list is empty, the message “(No Tags)” will be returned.

• If the reader is in Autonomous mode, the reader will display its current

internal tag list only.

Using the Get TagList with an optional integer ‘n’ instructs the command to be

repeated ‘n’ times before a combined result is returned.

The format of the data returned by this command is specified using the Set

TagListFormat command, described below.
