Count:1, Ant:0
Tag:0100 0100 0002 0709 0303 5752, CRC:8594, Disc:2003/01/21 11:00:10,

<Alien-RFID-Tag>
<TagID>0102 0304 0506 0709 0020 2020</TagID>
<CRC>87B4</CRC>
<DiscoveryTime>2003/01/17 11:37:01</DiscoveryTime>
<Antenna>0</Antenna>
<ReadCount>1413726</ReadCount>
</Alien-RFID-Tag>
<Alien-RFID-Tag>
<TagID>2283 1668 ADC3 E804 3403 3030</TagID>
<CRC>9FD0</CRC>
<DiscoveryTime>2003/01/19 07:01:19</DiscoveryTime>
<Antenna>0</Antenna>
<ReadCount>1</ReadCount>
</Alien-RFID-Tag>
</Alien-RFID-Tag-List>
In all cases the following information is reported per tag:
• TagID: The 96 bit tag ID.
• CRC: The checksum built into the tag that guarantees that the tagID was
read correctly.
• Disc: The time the tag was first read by the reader in the current session.
• Count: The number of times the tag has been read in the current session.
• Ant: The antenna port number that the tag was LAST seen at.
