Section 4 Functions Hand-held Reader Writer Functions Multiple Area Control The Hand-held Reader Writer can read and write across several non-consecutive ID Tag memory areas (10 areas max.) at one time. To use this feature, the number of control areas is specified using the NUMBER OF CONTROL AREAS command. ASCII and hexadecimal can be used simultaneously for the one command control, but reading and writing cannot be performed simultaneously.
Section 4 Functions Write Protection Function The write protection function prevents important data stored in the ID Tag, such as the product type and model, from being overwritten by other data and lost. Use the following method to set write protection after writing important data. The write protection function can be enabled or disabled with the PARAMETER SET command (SP). p.

Section 4 Functions ID Tag Service Life Detection The OVERWRITE COUNT CONTROL command (MDS/MDL) can be used to determine whether the Tag overwrite limit has been exceeded. With the MDS command, the overwrite count is subtracted from the data in the user-specified overwrite count control area to determine whether the number of overwrites has been exceeded. The MDL command can also be used to determine whether the overwrite count (100,000 times) has been exceeded.
Section 4 Functions MDL Command The overwrite count control area consists of 3 bytes from the start address. The decrement value from the overwrite count is written in this area, and if this value Area start address Upper digit Middle digit Lower digit is 100,000 (0186A0 hex) or higher, an end code 76 will 3 bytes be given as a warning. The number of overwrites is controlled using hexadecimal values, and can be read using the READ command.
Section 4 Functions Memory Check Function in ID Tag A memory check can be made using the DATA CHECK command (MD C/K). A CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code calculation, overwrite, and comparison are made, using the check block units specified by the user. The CRC code is calculated from the generated polynomial expression x16 + x12 + x5 + 1. Address (hex) The calculation area is the portion of the check block 0000 specified by the start address and the number of bytes 0001 excluding the last two bytes.
Section 4 Functions ID Tag Memory Error Correction The WRITE WITH ERROR CORRECTION command (QW) can be used to write an ID Tag memory check code and error correction code to the five bytes of memory after the write data. The READ WITH ERROR CORRECTION command (QR) performs a tag memory check and makes 1-bit memory error corrections.
