Reader Command Protocol
The MPI 6000 implements command requests, data acknowledgements, command
responses, asynchronous responses, software flow control, and unsolicited status mes
-
sages as required for AVI system configuration and operation. The messages are
defined in this section.
Command request messages are initiated and used by the host to request specific
actions to be performed by the MPI 6000.
Data acknowledge messages are initiated and used by the MPI 6000 to signal the
reception of command request messages received from the host. Additionally, data
acknowledge messages are initiated and used by the host to signal the reception of
command response, asynchronous response, software flow control and unsolicited sta
-
tus messages received from the MPI 6000.
Command response messages are initiated by the MPI 6000 in response to specific
command request messages received from the host.
Asynchronous response messages are optionally initiated by the MPI 6000 in
response to specific command request messages received from the host.
Software flow control messages are initiated and used by the MPI 60000 System to
inform the host to start or stop sending command request messages. Additionally, soft
-
ware flow control messages are initiated and used by the host to inform the MPI
60000 System to start or stop sending messages.
Unsolicited status messages are initiated and used by the MPI 60000 System to
inform the host about specific warning or error conditions in the MPI 60000 System.
The host sends command request messages to the MPI 6000. The MPI 6000 after
receiving command request messages from the host sends data acknowledge mes
