5.7.3 Command 5 (05 Hex): Block Read
DESCRIPTION
Read a block of data from an RFID tag.
DISCUSSION
The RF Block Read command is used to read segments of data from
contiguous areas of tag memory. It is capable of transferring the entire
read/write address range of the tag to the host with one command.
The timeout value is given in 1 msec increments and can have a value
of 1EH to FFFEH. A timeout of 0 will return a syntax error.
The data read from the tag is returned in the LSB of the register, and
the MSB is always 00H.
