ABxS Command 95 (95H): SN Block Read
DESCRIPTION
Read a block of data from a specified RFID tag.
DISCUSSION
This command is used to read segments of data from contiguous areas of tag
memory. It is capable of handling up to 48 bytes of data transferred to the
host with one command if there is no tag Family ID. The timeout value is
given in 1 msec increments and can have a value of 1EH to FFFEH (65,534
ms). When the timeout is set to 0, the LRP820 will return a syntax error.
The SN Block Read consists of Family ID and an Anticollision Index, a start
address and length, followed by a timeout value. The 8-byte serial number of
the target tag is specified. If the read length exceeds the last tag address, the
LRP820 will return error message in the status byte. It returns a response
when done or when the timeout expires.
The data read from the tag is returned in the LSB of the register, and the
MSB is always 00H. A special error packet (AAH FFH) is sent if the time-
out expires.
